April is nearly here! Have you gotten your spring cleaning checklist together yet? Well, if you’re in the process of writing yours up, King Kia of Laurel, MD has an important task for you to include. CHANGE YOUR CAR AIR FILTER! Going into the dust, pollen-filled months ahead you are really going to want your ride’s filters performing at their peak. Check out our other reasons for checking your air filters below, and don’t forget to schedule your service appointment with our Kia Service Center today!

Why You Should Replace Your Vehicle’s Filters:

A Clean Filter Means Better Breathing. 

  • Spring weather can differ by the day and you might end up needing to use your air conditioner one day and the heat the next. These unpredictable weather changes can put a lot of strain on your air filter which eventually leads to its breakdown. We recommend changing your filter at least every 12,000 to 15,000 miles!

Old Filters Aren’t As Efficient.

  • A dirty or clogged air filter can really decrease your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. This issue can also lead to your heater or air conditioning unit becoming clogged as well since all that dirt and debris need to go somewhere. If this issue persists it can result in hefty repair costs down the road. 

Spring Pollen Can Be A Real Problem. 

  • We recommend changing your filter at the end of pollen season and making sure before the Spring season hits that your filter is clean and hasn’t deteriorated. A broken down or overused air filter will allow dirt, dust, pollen, and other allergens to enter the cabin and into your lungs.
