Reasons to change your air filter

You should change the cabin air filter of your 2020 Nissan 370Z for a few reasons:

• Prolonging the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
• Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for the passengers.
• Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
• Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which enhances overall performance and fuel efficiency.
• Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.

By changing the air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Nissan 370Z engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants

If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you frequently drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 2020 Nissan 370Z for off-roading, the filter may need to be changed more often.

It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, such as:

• Increased dust and debris in your car
• Unusual smells coming from the vents
• Reduced airflow from the vents
