When you take your vehicle in for maintenance at Sill-TerHar Mazda or anywhere else, the topic of engine and cabin filters may arise. It's important to follow recommendations for replacing engine and cabin filters because they do important jobs as you travel around Broomfield, CO.
A cabin air filter cleans the air that enters the cabin through your air vents. It can trap dust, pollen, and other particulates, and in doing so, it can get pretty dirty. An old cabin filter might not be effective at preventing particulates from getting in the cabin, and it may make the HVAC work harder than it has to. Plus, you might start to smell bad odors, which can be very unpleasant.
An engine filter cleans the air that goes into the engine. When the filter gets old, your engine might not be able to work very efficiently. You might notice an issue with acceleration or with starting the engine.
