Pop quiz: What is a cabin air filter?
A. A filter for your Powell house?
B. A fresh, piney scent?
C. A filter for the passenger compartment of your car?
Clever you, it's C.
A cabin air filter cleans the outside air before it comes into the passenger compartment of your vehicle. It filters out common Ohio air particles like dust, pollen, spores, bacteria, pollutants, exhaust gas, odors and even sparrows.
These high tech filters can block particles larger than 3 microns. By contrast, a grain of sand is about 200 microns.
Not all Powell vehicles have cabin air filters. They are fairly new on the scene in Ohio. Last check, about 40 percent of new vehicles sold in Powell come with cabin air filters, but the number is growing every year.
Cabin air filters make driving a lot more pleasant for people in Powell. Your vehicle can be a haven during our Ohio allergy season with very little dust and pollen getting into the cabin. Of course, like all filters, the cabin air filter eventually gets clogged. When this happens, your heating and air conditioning flow can become restricted. The filter can even get kind of smelly.
Check your owner's manual for replacement guidelines. If your vehicle owner's manual doesn't mention your cabin air filter, ask your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Powell for a recommendation. It's usually every year or 12,000 miles /19,000 kilometers. Change it sooner if you drive in dusty conditions around the Powell area, or if you start to notice a funky smell coming from your vents.
The team at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Powell urges Powell drivers to keep their cabin air filter cleans. It may not help with your brother-in-law in the backseat, but it will make your driving experience around Powell more enjoyable.
Come by and we'll take a look at your cabin air filter for you.

Our vehicles are not massage chairs. While we may enjoy a good vibration in an overstuffed recliner, we generally want as smooth a ride as possible in our vehicles. One way to achieve this is to keep a vehicle's wheels in balance. When a tire is mounted onto a wheel, it is usually out of balance... More
