OEM Dodge Air Filters

Car Air Filters 101

How Many There are; What Types There are

Two: a cabin air filter and an engine air filter. They're vital to how well your AC and heating systems and engine work, respectively.

What They Do

Put simply, they trap airborne contaminants. They do it using pleated fibers that are often made of either synthetic paper, foam, or cotton. Your cabin filter, for its part, helps keep allergens from accumulating in your HVAC system. Your engine filter helps keep dirt and muck from building up in your air intake and on other components, like the fuel injectors and spark plugs. If that ride you love didn't have either of them, particulate would start to wear out its many parts, and double quick.

The Signs It's Time to Change One

Unfortunately, even the best stop working as well as they age. When they clog, more trouble follows -- everything from a stressed and misfiring engine to higher emissions and lower fuel efficiency. Even your heater and air conditioner can malfunction. The best way to keep all this from happening? Replace both air filters regularly, about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.

Otherwise, the symptoms that indicate it's time aren't very hard to identify. Look for a lit Check Engine light, for one. It's a better idea, though, to keep an eye out for dirty or decayed surface fibers. You can also listen for weird engine noise, smell for unclean cabin odors, and look for excessive exhaust. If you see any of these, it's probably time for replacement. When it's time to buy new ones, be sure to order the genuine article.
