Why change your air filter?

You should change the cabin air filter of your 2015 Toyota Avalon for a few reasons:

• Better engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
• Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
• 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.
• 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.

If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Toyota Avalon engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

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