Have You Been Forgetting One Very Important Maintenance Item in Your Truck?
Have You Been Forgetting One Very Important Maintenance Item in Your Truck?
Jun 19, 2017
Whatever you use your truck for, a K&N washable cabin air filter is a good investment
We do a lot of things with our trucks. From daily driver to weekend hauler, they get us to and from and we have a lot of adventures in the cab of our pickups. With all of the miles we put on our engines, it is important to stick to a maintenance schedule that ensures we keep our rigs working at peak performance. One of the items that isn’t often checked during routine maintenance schedules is the cabin air filter.
For a long time, these were not original equipment in even the most expensive cars, but as trucks become more technologically advanced, they are receiving amenities like cabin air filters. These filters are similar to the one protecting your engine, but these protect something even more important, you and your family. Think about all the places your truck takes you and think about all the dirt, dust, mold, mildew, pollen, spores, fungus, and germs that you could be breathing after all your adventures. Without proper cabin air filter maintenance, you could be exposing yourself and your family to unnecessary harmful contaminants.
Installing a K&N washable and reusable cabin air filter is easy to do and requires minimal tools
If your truck has a cabin air filter, it is probably made of thick, folded paper and it probably has seen better days. As particles collect on these paper filters, they flow less and less air. This puts a strain on the blower motor in your a/c system and could even force these potentially harmful pollutants into the cab of your truck. This is made even more problematic if you are an allergy sufferer, which according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, could be north of 50 million people.
One company has taken it upon themselves to make the cabin of your truck cleaner and healthier. K&N Engineering has been making engine air filters for several decades and they took what they learned with those to revolutionize the cabin air filter industry. K&N’s cabin air filters consist of an advanced synthetic filtration media. This material is coated in a hypoallergenic and biodegradable formula that makes the filter electrostatically charged as the air passes through it. This electrostatic charge helps to grab onto particles as air passes through the filter.
There really isn't a comparison between the stock paper cabin air filters and K&N's cabin air filter
Just like K&N’s famous washable engine air filters, their cabin air filters are also washable and reusable. K&N recommends that once every 12 months or 12,000 miles you clean your cabin air filter, but it can be done even more often if you like. This is a simple process of spraying the filter with K&N cabin air filter cleaning solution, rinsing it with water, and respraying it with the cabin air filter refresher. The K&N cabin air filters are also covered by K&N’s 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so you know that it will last you a very long time.
