Reasons to change your air filter
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 1998 Infiniti Q45 for several reasons:
- 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 improves the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.
- 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.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
- 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 Infiniti Q45 engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants
