Although the oil filter is what typically comes to mind when discussing automotive filters, there are two other filters that are equally as important. They’re important because they take care of two important things: your health and your vehicle’s engine. These are the cabin filter and the engine air filter.
Situated under the dashboard, the cabin filter filters out the bad and unhealthy air that might come out of your heating and AC vents. Without a cabin filter, pollutants and other dirt or debris could come out through the vents and cause respiratory problems.
The engine air filter has the task of keeping the engine clean and free from dirt and debris, which can cause serious problems to the engine. The engine air filter also prevents the oil from being filled with dirt. Because of their importance, both of these filters should be inspected by our service team here at 1st Choice Motors in Madison Heights, VA periodically.
