Reasons to change your air filter
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 for a few reasons:
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a greater amount of air to reach the engine, which enhances overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for everyone on board.
- Prolonging the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps increase the efficiency of the system.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

How often should I change my cabin air filter?
In general, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter once per year, or every 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, consider changing the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you frequently drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 for off-roading, the filter may need to be changed more often.
It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, including:

- Odd smells coming from the vents
