Air Filter Maintenance
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY AIR FILTERS?
Your car's air filters serve a vital purpose: they keep harmful debris out of circulation from your cabin and engine. If you don't keep up with the recommended car maintenance schedule for your Volkswagen, you could start to notice changes in your car's performance and comfort. Let the Open Road Volkswagen of Bridgewater team help you replace your cabin and engine air filters, as needed.
BREATHE EASIER
You deserve clean air to breathe, as does your vehicle. Your cabin air filter catches dust, debris, mold spores, pollen, and more so that you can breathe easier. Your engine air filter, on the other hand, stops harmful debris from damaging your engine. If you don't change it out for a fresh one from time to time, you may notice reduced acceleration ability.
MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY
Replacement frequency varies from how often you drive and where you live. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the air filters every 12,000 – 15,000 miles. If you live in the city, and sit in stop-and-go traffic, then your car is filtering smog and pollution from construction and other vehicles on the road. If you live in an area where there is a lot of sand, dirt, or dust, this can mean the air filters will need to be replaced more frequently as well.
