The air filter element and the air conditioning filter element are important components of the car, although there is only a word difference, but the difference is not small. Let's take a look at the differences between the two.
Air filter element
The engine must absorb a large amount of air during the working process, if the air is not filtered, the dust in it is sucked into the cylinder, which will accelerate the wear of the piston group and the cylinder.
The air filter element will finely filter the air entering the engine cylinder to ensure that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder, and whether it can remain clean and unobstructed is related to the life of the engine.
The replacement of the air filter element needs to look at the actual situation, such as some areas of the wind and sand, dust, it is recommended that the owner of each maintenance to check the air filter, shorten the replacement cycle, if necessary, "one guarantee and one change". In some areas where the air is relatively clean, you can follow the maintenance manual.

If the replacement cycle is exceeded, the filtration performance of the air filter element becomes poor, and the particle pollutants in the air cannot be effectively filtered, which can easily lead to a decrease in vehicle power and an increase in fuel consumption, which will shorten the service life of the engine in the long run.
Air conditioning filter
When using air conditioning in the car, the air conditioning filter will filter the air entering the interior of the cabin from the outside, so that the cleanliness of the air is improved (the filtered substance refers to the impurities contained in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust gases and dust, etc.), which is conducive to the health of the people in the car.
(Air Conditioning Filter)
Under normal circumstances, the air filter element should be replaced once every six months, and it can also be decided according to the driving environment. If the environment is relatively humid, or if the smog weather is frequent, the replacement cycle can be shortened appropriately.

If the replacement cycle is exceeded, the air conditioning filter will adsorb a large number of impurities and lose the filtration effect, which will lead to the breeding and reproduction of bacteria in the long run, affecting the health of passengers in the car.
