Ensuring Clean Filters in Your Vehicle

Do I really need to replace my vehicle air filters?

Yes. It is important to replace your car’s air filters regularly to prevent dirt, dust, and other containments from entering your engine and causing damage to your Chevrolet. Over time, these contaminants can build up in the filter and restrict the airflow to the engine, reducing fuel efficiency and performance. If your engine is not getting enough air, it has to work harder to operate, which can cause it to wear out faster.

How often do I need to replace my vehicle’s air filters?

In general it is recommended to replace your air filter every 12,000-15,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. There are several factors that may cause this timeline to change slightly. The make and model of your car, how often you drive, and the driving conditions can affect when and how often you should change filters. If you frequently drive through dusty areas or on dirt roads, the filter will need to be replaced more often.

The best way to determine if your air filter needs to be replaced is to have it inspected regularly by a certified service center.
