Pop quiz: What is a cabin air filter?
A. A filter for your Clinton Township house?
B. A fresh, piney scent?
C. A filter for the passenger compartment of your car?
Clever you, it's C.
A cabin air filter cleans the outside air before it comes into the passenger compartment of your vehicle. It filters out common Michigan air particles like dust, pollen, spores, bacteria, pollutants, exhaust gas, odors and even sparrows.
These high tech filters can block particles larger than 3 microns. By contrast, a grain of sand is about 200 microns.
Not all Clinton Township vehicles have cabin air filters. They are fairly new on the scene in Michigan. Last check, about 40 percent of new vehicles sold in Clinton Township come with cabin air filters, but the number is growing every year.
Cabin air filters make driving a lot more pleasant for people in Clinton Township. Your vehicle can be a haven during our Michigan allergy season with very little dust and pollen getting into the cabin. Of course, like all filters, the cabin air filter eventually gets clogged. When this happens, your heating and air conditioning flow can become restricted. The filter can even get kind of smelly.
Check your owner's manual for replacement guidelines. If your vehicle owner's manual doesn't mention your cabin air filter, ask your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Tuffy Clinton Township for a recommendation. It's usually every year or 12,000 miles /19,000 kilometers.
