Important Vehicle Filter Types and When to Replace Them

Understanding the Different Air Filters Your Vehicle Needs

Engine Air Filter

Engine air filters clean the air that enters the engine by removing dust, dirt, pollen, ash, and other impurities in the outside air. When the filter becomes too dirty for clean air to pass through, it can impact the vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency because it must work harder. Engine air filters typically need replacing every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or whenever they get too dirty to see through. Our technicians will inspect the engine air filter at regularly scheduled maintenance appointments and recommend replacements as needed.

Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter provides clean air by filtering particles and contaminants from the HVAC system. While it may seem like a luxury, cleaning the air is incredibly important if you spend a lot of time in the city or heavily congested roads. The humble cabin air filter helps protect your health from common airborne traffic hazards. Cabin air filters typically need replacing every 15,000 to 20,000 miles or whenever they become too dirty to see through.

Engine Oil Filter

The engine oil filter is replaced at every oil change. It removes debris and buildup from engine oil to ensure the engine is lubricated and protected from excess wear and tear due to friction from dirty oil. Newer Buick and GMC models need an oil and filter change about every 5,000 miles or twice a year. The owner's manual will list the recommended maintenance intervals for your particular vehicle, or you can contact our Service Center for vehicle-specific recommendations.

Fuel Filter

Fuel filters protect the fuel injectors and related components from clogging by removing contaminants from the gas. Fuel filters generally need replacing every 20,000 to 40,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the type of gas you use and your vehicle's specifications.

Transmission Filter

The transmission filter is another type of fluid filter that protects the vehicle transmission system, including gears, cutches, and related equipment. Transmission filters generally need replacing every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or every two to three years.
