Mercedes-Benz Of Wappingers Falls Tips For Changing Your Air Filter:

Pollen problem

• One of the biggest reasons to change your filters is to ensure you won’t be breathing in all the pollen from outside. While a filter should be changed every 12,000-15,000 miles, it is often a good idea to change it at the end of the pollen season too. Otherwise, allergens might end up blowing out at you as the filter deteriorates. 

Clean air, clean car

• Spring is one of the most confusing seasons. One day we could have   80-degree day and the next it is 45 and rainy, so saying that you’ll be using your air conditioning and heater pretty frequently is an understatement. But the more your air system works the more strain is put on your filters. When this happens, pollen isn’t the only thing you’ll find flying out of the vent. If the filter isn’t changed regularly, all that build is coming out at you! This can quickly turn a recently detailed car into a dusty mess. Aka a waste of your money. 

Efficiency is key

• Although cabin filters help you breathe better, that is not their only job, In fact, cabin filters actually help keep things working smoothly. A dirty filter can result in your heater core or air conditioner becoming clogged, reducing overall efficiency and causing a headache down the road. So instead of skipping your filter change to save a couple of bucks, save yourself the headache and set yourself a reminder to get your air filters changed sooner than later!
