Diesel Fuel and Air Filter Replacement Services
in Fort St. John, BC
If you have the impression that your vehicle is feeling sluggish and lacking performance, it may be time to change your diesel fuel filters and air filters. At Mobil 1 Lube Express and Car Wash, we offer professional replacement services for fuel and air filters, as well as cabin air filters, to help your engine breathe clean and run efficiently in Fort St. John. In our dusty northern climate, regular filter checks are essential to maintaining fuel economy and comfort.
Air Filters 
Fuel and oil are not the only two things your vehicle requires to drive around. Oxygen (air) is a major component needed for the internal combustion cycle to occur (for your vehicle to drive). Your vehicle depends on the air that surrounds it. 
 
However, the air that your vehicle takes in order to work and operate is not entirely clean, and there are particles and impurities that your engine sucks in with the air it intakes.  To prevent those impurities from entering the inside of your engine, where they can be harmful or affect performance, an air filter is used to trap those particles.  Over time, air filters get dirty, and the dirtier they get, the less efficiently your engine will run.  Luckily, it’s pretty easy to carry out a visual check to find out whether your vehicle requires a replacement air filter.   
The air filter is a consumable component (needing frequent replacement), and depending on your driving pattern and weather conditions (dust and pollen in the summer, etc.), it may need to be replaced more frequently. 
Your manual will also give details as to how often you should be changing your filter.  However, as we live in a very dusty environment, in the Fort St. John area, the replacement might be more frequent.  We have had vehicles require an air filter before their next oil change is due.  A clean air filter will provide better and unobstructed air flow to your vehicle’s engine, saving you on the fuel charges (a clogged air filter can cause an increase in your vehicle's fuel consumption), while a clean cabin filter helps the clean air reach the inside of your vehicle, making the drive a pleasurable experience. 
We offer inspections and replacements using premium Baldwin filters, designed to trap impurities and keep your engine running smoothly.
Cabin Air Filters 
To make your driving experience more enjoyable and to make sure you or your passengers do not breathe the contaminants found in the outside air, most modern vehicles and even some older ones are equipped with the cabin filter. Cabin air filters trap dust and particles from entering the interior (cabin) of your vehicle, and just like oil filters, they need to be checked and replaced regularly. 
 
Are you having trouble with your air conditioning or heat?  A dirty cabin filter can drastically impact airflow through the vents and put stress on the blower motor. 
 
Our technician can inspect or if necessary, replace your vehicle's air and cabin filters at the time they perform the oil change or other maintenance services.  A clean cabin filter helps the clean air reach the inside of your vehicle, making the drive a pleasurable experience.
