Filters
Air Filter
Your vehicle’s air filters play a crucial role in safeguarding its performance and longevity. The primary function of the air filter is to prevent unwanted particles such as dust, dirt, and debris from infiltrating your engine. By ensuring that only clean air enters the cylinders where it combines with fuel to power your vehicle, the air filter contributes to optimal engine operation. Neglecting to maintain a clean air filter can lead to diminished fuel efficiency. At 360Lube, we diligently inspect your air filter during each oil change and recommend a replacement when necessary.
Cabin Air Filter
In the realm of passenger comfort and well-being, cabin air filters take the spotlight. These filters are instrumental in enhancing the quality of the air you breathe inside your vehicle. Given the increased traffic congestion and extended commuting periods in today’s world, we spend more time than ever in our vehicles. Cabin air filters are designed to capture a wide array of minuscule particles, harmful gases, and unpleasant odors. Regularly changing your cabin air filter can offer a sigh of relief for individuals dealing with asthma, allergies, and hay fever. Moreover, these filters contribute to the optimal functioning of your air conditioning system.
Fuel Filter
Your vehicle’s fuel system works tirelessly to manage the balance between fuel and air, determining the power your engine generates when you step on the gas pedal. However, fuel isn’t inherently clean, which is why a fuel filter comes into play. This essential component captures impurities and debris that might hinder your engine’s performance. Over time, these particles accumulate, impeding fuel flow and subsequently affecting your vehicle’s overall performance and fuel efficiency. Neglecting to replace the fuel filter in a timely manner can result in decreased fuel delivery to the engine.
Emission (PCV) Valve and Filter
The emission valve and filter, also known as the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system, work in unison to channel harmful emissions produced by the engine back into the combustion chambers. This process allows the engine to re-burn these emissions, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing air pollution. The valve ensures the engine’s proper breathing and maintains the necessary airflow, while the filter is responsible for removing detrimental oil vapor. Failing to replace the emission valve and filter can lead to a host of problems, including rough idling, stalling, heightened oil consumption, power loss, and increased wear on internal components. Such issues can ultimately impact the lifespan of your oil and air filters.
