Air filters and cabin filters are not the same, they are two different auto parts. The air filter is the filter element of the intake system, and the cabin filter is the filter element of the air conditioning system. There are also obvious differences in the positions of the two filters. The air conditioner filter is installed near the air intake of the vehicle, behind the blower, and the air filter is installed in the engine compartment.
The difference between air filter and cabin filter
1. Replacement cycle. The replacement cycle of the air conditioner filter element is about half a year, but if the driving environment is rainy or hazy, the replacement cycle will be shortened, usually about 3 to 6 months. The replacement cycle of the air filter element is about 15,000 kilometers, but if there are many catkins in the driving area, the replacement cycle can be advanced to 10,000 kilometers;
2. Function. The air filter can filter the air in the engine intake pipe and filter out the dust particles in the air. The air in the engine combustion will be cleaner and the engine can be better protected. The cabin filter is to filter out the air entering the car. When it is in the external circulation, it can filter out the dust from the outside, and better protect the health of the driver and passengers.
Both the air filter and cabin filter are filter elements, which are disposable products and cannot be reused. After the replacement cycle is reached, they will be regarded as waste products. Both filters are indispensable parts of the vehicle, and they both play an important role in the vehicle, so they need to be replaced and maintained frequently.
