Air Filters for Mazda CX-5

Your Mazda CX-5 model vehicle depends on various types of air filters. Replacing the filters is part of the regularly scheduled maintenance. Understanding more about the parts will ensure you get what you need.

There are two different types of air filters in the Mazda CX-5. The first is under the hood and is responsible for filtering the air that goes into the engine for combustion. When there is a cleaner filter, it leads to better fuel economy. The second is for the air conditioning and is known as a cabin air filter. It is responsible for cleaning the air before it goes through the condenser and blows into the inside of your SUV.

The filters should be changed on a regular basis. The performance filter should be changed every 15,000 miles or as recommended by the maintenance schedule in your Mazda owners manual. The way you drive will impact the frequency of replacing the filter. The AC filter should be replaced annually or as needed based on the conditions you expose your SUV to on a regular basis, such as dirt roads.

Each filter is changed differently. The cabin air filter is changed by going in through the glove box. The other is accessed under the hood where there is a black box near the engine. The Mazda owners manual will provide details on how to change the filters based on the model year and trim level that you have.

OEM is a common abbreviation to identify a Mazda genuine part. The Original Equipment Manufacturer is designed specifically for Mazda and is what is used at the factory as well as by Mazda dealerships. When you purchase OEM, you know its a quality part that is identical to what your SUV is made to use. Aftermarket parts are what all other manufacturers are considered. There are many high-quality filters on the market for every driver, giving you plenty of choices whether you opt for OEM or aftermarket.

There are a few things to consider when you buy air filters for your crossover.

• Filter kit: There are kits that include engine and cabin filters as well as gaskets and seals.
• OEM vs. aftermarket: Determine if you want a genuine or aftermarket part.
• Type of filter: Determine if you need a filter for the engine or the AC.
