Do you know all the filters in your European vehicle? Do you know the importance of a clean filter? Is your powerhouse of European engineering not performing as well as it used to? It could be due to your filters. There are four primary filters in every vehicle. The cabin, air, oil, and fuel filters. It may seem like a waste of time and money to change your filters, but they are one of the most important services you could do for your vehicle.
Cabin & Air Filter
Your cabin and air filters are generally changed simultaneously since they filter the air entering your vehicle. The main difference between them is that one purifies the air you breathe, and the other filters the air your vehicle breathes. The cabin filter filters all the contaminants picked up in the air while driving, leaving only clean, fresh air for us to breathe. The same goes for your air filter for your engine. This ensures dust and dirt do not enter your engine and cause issues. The more dirt in your engine, the more significant the decrease in performance you will see. Keep the dirt out of your vehicle and increase performance by changing your filters today.
Oil Filter
Do you ever wonder why every oil change comes with a new filter? This is because keeping your engine oil as clean as possible is super important. The cleaner your engine oil, the more effective it is at lubricating and cooling your engine. Dirty and debris filled oil can cause an engine to seize up or overheat. Without an engine, your vehicle is just an oversized metal couch with wheels. Keep your engine happy and your oil clean by replacing the filter and oil at the right time intervals.
Fuel Filter
Your fuel filter also plays a significant role in keeping your engine clean. Your fuel tank is filled with gunk and debris just found in gasoline. No matter what, you pour dirty gas into your vehicle every time you fill up. That said, the fuel filter works its tail off to ensure the fuel going into the einge is as clean as possible. The fuel filter does not need to be changed as often as the oil, cabin, or air filter but keeping it clean means better engine performance. The more clogged it gets, the less fuel can get to your engine—less fuel equals less performance.
