Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to J & K's Mechanical in Bundaberg today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At J & K's Mechanical in Bundaberg we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Love your engine, let us help you keep it clean.

We only use and recommend penrite engine oil and have done since 2009. Drop in today to make a booking or get a price on your next oil change.

Oil sludge can build up until it eventually blocks oil galleries, preventing the normal flow of oil throughout the engine. Severely reducing the wear protection the oil is there to provide, excessive oil sludge can mean some areas of the engine become 'Starved" of oil meaning required lubrication of moving parts is not occurring and the ability of the engine to "lose" heat is severely restricted. As a result, the engine, radiator and cooling system all have to work harder to produce the same amount of power a well serviced engine would. This usually results in increased wear and component failure across many systems, not just the engine.

You have little control over sump size, engine design or the efficiency of the cooling system in your car, some of the contributors to the formation of sludge, but you can influence many of the other known causes. These include the quality of the oil you use, how often you have your car serviced or by supplementing the recommended service procedures to compensate for the way you use your vehicle, such as having "extra" oil changes between scheduled services.

If your engine feels a little sluggish or you cant remember the last time you had a proper oil change, not just a top up, call us or drop in to J & K's Mechanical and let us check the state of your oil.

Hey guys this is a little pointer just on regular good quality engine oil changes and why it's important.
