You may not think much about the air you breathe, especially when you’re driving in your Toyota. But the quality of air can have a direct impact on your health.

The Purpose of the Cabin Air Filter
Many vehicle owners overlook the cabin air filter because they don’t realize its importance. The filter is often inspected when you have your vehicle serviced. Many customers decide not to replace it because they view it as an unnecessary cost. However, getting a new filter can make a big difference in the performance of your vehicle. Listed below are some of the important roles your vehicle’s cabin air filter plays:
- Prevent Pollution: Your cabin air filter needs to be replaced because of the amount of pollution that is trapped. The filter prevents much of the smog and other dirty air from getting into your cabin.
- Reduce Allergies: These filters help reduce the number of allergens that get into the cabin from the air. When you don’t change out the filter, it can’t do its job, which means more pollen can get inside. Some areas have more pollen to deal with than others, which means you may need to change out your air filter more often.
- Debris Prevention: The cabin air filter can prevent small types of debris from getting inside. For instance, it can stop leaves and twigs from clogging up your air system. If you live or drive around a rural area or park, you may notice more problems under trees.
What Happens with a Clogged Cabin Air Filter?
When the filter is clogged, it can’t do its job properly. It can lead to a lot of problems with your vehicle. First, it can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning system because it must work harder to get the cool air through the filter. You may notice that your cabin doesn’t cool off as quickly.
A clogged air filter also places strain on the engine. It makes the engine work harder because it isn’t getting all the air it needs. You may be surprised to know that it can also lower your fuel efficiency, which means you will be buying more gas for your vehicle.
