Air Filters

Most modern cars, vans, trucks, and SUVs feature two kinds of air filters. One's for the engine, while the other is for the cabin space. Their job is to contain airborne contaminants before they can get into the sensitive engine parts and your HVAC system.

Eventually, though, even the best air filter will degrade with age or get too blocked up to let air flow freely through. When that happens, your engine won't get enough air – or your AC system may start to malfunction. Signs of trouble include:

• Misfiring engine
• Reduced engine performance
• Odd engine noises
• A whistling sound coming from the air vents
• Fluctuating cabin air temperature
• Increased emissions
• Lowered fuel economy

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, check your air filters. Your engine air filter is located near your air intake. The cabin air filter can be found behind your glove compartment, though some vehicles place it underneath the front cowling. If you can't see light through the filter, it needs to be replaced.

If you aren't having problems, check your owner's manual for your recommended maintenance schedule. Plan to replace them at least every 30,000 miles, though replacing earlier maintains peak engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.
