Did You Know Your Car Had a Pollen Filter

Did you know that Your Car has a Pollen Filter?

Have you ever wondered how it is possible to smell outside odor, good or bad, while driving with your windows closed? Well, it’s through the car’s air filtration system, the same system that filters out debris like…POLLEN! That’s right your car has a pollen filter.

Alternately called a “Cabin” filter, the filter….well it filters out impurities in the air. Developed years ago, such filters can be the difference between life and death for sensitive passengers with severe allergies to pollen, dust, grass and other outdoor particulate matter.

It is recommended by most manufacturers that your filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles, for those cars that have filters as standard hardware. However, during the spring and summer months, or in most dusty environments, I would recommend checking it every 5,000 miles. Vacuuming the filter will also prolong the life of the filter and promote healthier cabin air.

Check the owner’s manual, or consult with your mechanic to get more information on your vehicles pollen filter.

Auto Tip – Air Filters

City drivers should change their air filters annually, or every 15,000 miles. Rural drivers should check monthly for build up, and change as needed.
