A cabin air filter blocks debris from entering your car through the ventilation system. However, it does much more than that. It also ensures that the HVAC system operates efficiently by keeping dirt from collecting on the heating and air conditioning units.Â
How long does it take this vital piece of equipment to get clogged and lose its effectiveness? It varies from vehicle to vehicle and depends on the conditions in which you drive. Most owner’s manuals suggest making a change every 25,000 to 50,000 KM.Â
If you are in the New Westminster area, you can ask the technician to check the filter when you visit our service centre for an oil change, tire rotation, or other routine maintenance.Â
