How Cabin & Engine Air Filters Affect Your Driving Experience

Whether it’s your interior environment or the performance of your engine, air quality is an important part of your driving experience. Here at Mike Piazza Honda, we want the people of Langhorne to have what they need to manage their cabin and engine air filters. We will go over the functions of each, and what you need to consider for proper maintenance.

When you think about air filters, you probably think primarily about the air you breathe. Cabin air filters are responsible just for that, maintaining your interior air quality by preventing dust and allergens from circulating in your car. Engine air filters prevent debris and other environmental agents from entering your engine system.

Each filter has a particular life cycle that you need to be aware of. The average lifespan of a cabin filter is 20,000 - 30,000 miles and 12,000 - 30,000 miles for engine air filters. To get a more accurate snapshot of your car’s air filters, consult a local mechanic or look inside your owner’s manual.
