Help & Advice
Car filters sift out dirt, and debris to protect the vehicle’s engine. The air filters, fuel filters, oil filters, and pollen filters (also known as a cabin filter) all work together to stop contaminants from entering the combustion chamber. They’re often replaced as part of a major car service, but you’ll need to check them regularly to ensure they’re in good working order. Otherwise, you could risk damaging the car’s engine.
