Car Air Filter Replacement Service

Particles like mold, pollen, dirt, and other forms of debris can easily harm engine parts by gunking up the engine’s oil and causing parts to lock up. There are generally two main types of air filters that your car has, the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The engine air filter keeps the debris from the road and air from getting pulled in, letting any of the debris enter the engine system. The cabin air filter is in place to clean and filtrate the air that we breathe inside the car, preventing any pollutants from entering our lungs. This air is used for the car’s air conditioning and heating system. It is important to replace both filters when they are needed.

At ER Autocare in Plains City, OH, we will inspect both air filters during each oil change and inform you if they need replacement.

FAQ'S About Car Air Filter Replacement Service

The majority of manufacturers advise changing the air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, though this can change based on your driving habits and the kind of car you drive.

During routine maintenance, check your air filter. You can use your mechanic’s advice or a visual inspection to determine whether it’s clogged or unclean.

Reduced progress, odd engine noises, lower fuel efficiency, and a strong gas smell while starting the engine are all common symptoms.

An air filter ensures that clean air flows into your car’s engine, preventing debris, dirt, and contaminants from entering and potentially causing damage.
