You probably don't think about your vehicle's filters very often. These small automotive parts play a big role in the performance of your car. To learn about the cabin and engine filters, check out this information from the Hendrick MINI team.
The cabin filter is responsible for catching any particles that might enter your vehicle through the heating and air conditioning system. Carbon activated filters also work to eliminate fumes from the exhaust. A clean cabin filter is necessary so that you're not breathing in things like pollen, bacteria and pollution. A clogged cabin filter can block airflow, causing your windshield to fog up.
Your air filter prevents things like insects, dirt and debris from getting into the engine. You need clean air to enter the engine in order to maintain proper air and fuel mixture. This ensures effective combustion of your engine, leading to better performance and fuel economy.
