Why change your air filter?
You should change the cabin air filter of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 for several reasons:
- Better engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a greater amount of air to reach the engine, which enhances overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Enhancing the 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 everyone on board.
- Extending 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.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter can also help improve the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants

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