When performing preventive maintenance on your vehicle, filtration is a good starting point.
First, you might consider changing the oil regularly, as well as changing the engine oil and air filter. Another component that protects the critical space-the cabin air filter-should also be replaced at the recommended interval. Especially when preparing for the cold winter.
Changing the cabin air filter regularly is a relatively easy task, it has multiple benefits for passengers and vehicle performance, and provides a good recommendation for your customers at this time of the year.
One of the most important things to replace the cabin air filter is to keep the air flowing freely in the cabin. Just like the engine air filter, the cabin air filter can become clogged over time. This restricts the flow of air into the cabin, and because drivers will use the vehicle's heating system in winter, they need to circulate as much hot air as possible.
In addition, a clogged cabin air filter strains the vehicle's HVAC system because it is difficult to push clean air into the vents. By changing the filter regularly, warm, clean air can flow freely in the cabin, keeping the driver and passengers comfortable.
Keep clean and fresh air in the cabin
Another major benefit of recommending to replace the cabin air filter is that it can keep the breathable air in the customer's car clean and free of irritants.
If the old filter is clogged, dust, autumn leaf fragments, and road salt can seep into the car-harmful allergens such as pollen and ragweed can also seep into the car. FRAM® has two high-quality products that can withstand this situation.
FRAM's latest high-quality cabin air filter, FRAM TrueAir™, uses innovative N95-grade filter media*, which can capture 95% of harmful irritants in the air, as small as 0.3 microns. FRAM TrueAir™ adopts a double-layer protection design to filter out 99% of dirt, dust, pollen and other pollutants and keep the cabin air clean.
The trusted FRAM Fresh Breeze® cabin air filter is designed with Arm & Hammer™ baking soda and has activated carbon embedded in its medium. These unique features provide deodorizing properties, while at the same time filtering up to 98% of air pollutants**, keeping the cabin air clean and fresh.
