Dirty air filters can affect more than just your car—they impact your health and performance, too. At EAS Tire & Auto, we offer expert air filter replacement services to help keep your HVAC system running smoothly, protect your engine, and deliver improved air quality both inside and out.
From reducing harmful pollutants to improving fuel efficiency, replacing your filters regularly is one of the easiest ways to extend your vehicle’s life and keep your family safe.
The importance of air filters
Your car has multiple filters, but the cabin air filter and engine air filter are the two most critical for keeping your vehicle’s air filtration system clean. These filters trap harmful airborne particles like dust, pollen, and gasoline or diesel exhaust vapors—many of which can trigger respiratory issues such as asthma, eye irritation, or allergy flare-ups.
In addition to supporting better indoor air quality, clean filters improve how HVAC air filters function and help the air conditioner defog windows more effectively, increasing visibility and overall driving safety.
A clogged filter not only affects cabin health but also reduces engine performance. When the engine air filter is dirty, it restricts airflow to the engine, leading to an imbalanced air-fuel mixture. This can cause excess fuel consumption, carbon buildup, and dirty spark plugs, all of which decrease combustion efficiency.
How to choose the right air filter
Air filters vary not only by size to fit your car’s engine air filter compartment, but they are also available at various quality levels or price points, shapes, and materials. The typical car air filter is a flexible or rigid plastic housing that is rectangular, square, or round in shape. The actual filtering material that is affixed and sealed within the plastic body will be a pleated material designed to filter out a certain size of particles and a certain amount of air contaminants.
The filter’s material determines how well the air filter will perform. The air filter may be constructed from paper (or cellulose fibers), foam, or a high-quality synthetic blend of materials. Paper air filters are the most economical and do a good job of maintaining airflow and a level of filtration to prevent dust and debris from entering the engine.
Foam air filters are designed with a porous structure and are very lightweight. They are more effective at filtering not only debris but also finer particles of dust. Motorcycles and off-road-type vehicles often use foam air filters, but they must be regularly oiled and seated correctly for proper operation.
For the greatest durability and superior filtering capacity, choose an air filter manufactured from synthetic fibers. While these high-performance filters cost more, they are capable of catching the smallest particles and are more efficient than standard paper filters.
When to change your car’s air filter
To keep your HVAC system, engine, and overall system running efficiently, follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule for air filter replacement. Typically, this ranges from every 15,000 to 30,000 miles depending on your driving habits and location.
If you drive in Colorado Springs, Aurora, or Parker (areas prone to dust, altitude changes, or fluctuating air quality), you may need more frequent air filter replacement.
You can inspect the engine air filter yourself by locating its housing (usually on top or beside the engine) and checking for dirt, grime, or dark discoloration. A very dirty filter should be replaced immediately. For less severe buildup, gently brush off surface dirt or debris. Or, you can use a compressed air hose or a vacuum cleaner to push or suck dirt from the filter paper. If you wash it, allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
Regular maintenance protects your air filtration system while also improving fuel economy and preventing long-term damage to your vehicle.
