GM, Kia, Hyundai with a K&N Cabin Air Filter Reduces Odors and Rejuvenates Interior Air Quality
- Jul 21, 2016
Large car companies like General Motors and Hyundai/Kia, often use the same parts on many different models. This allows them to keep costs low by only manufacturing a single component, like a filtered HVAC system. They can then use this one part on everything from the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata / Sonata Hybrid and 2011-2014 Kia Optima, to the 2012-2016 Kia Azera and 2013-2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. It also allows part manufacturers to keep their overhead low, because the exact same size Hyundai OEM cabin air filter will also work on GM models like the 2010-2016 Chevy Equinox and. 2010-2016 GMC Terrain. But no matter how cost effective their production techniques are, those cabin filters can still cost consumers quite a bit of money over time. Fortunately, the K&N VF2016 cabin air filter is reusable and can provide clean air for the occupants of your vehicle to breathe.
A filtered climate control system is designed to clean dirt, dust, odors, and allergens from the air, before it reaches the interior. To do this, they install a disposable paper air filter behind the glovebox, and the heated/cooled air is pushed through it before exiting the vents. Pollen, mold spores, dust, and leaves then collect on the filter's surface, usually between the pleats/folds. Over time however, all of that accumulated dirt will start to reduce the amount of air that can flow through the OE cabin filter. This will make the HVAC system have to work much harder to force air through the clogged filter. That built up gunk will also contaminate the cabin air, making it feel musty and stale. Your allergies could also be affected, because those clumped up pollen, mold, and fungus particles can get sucked around the filter and into the cabin. Paper cabin filters may be cheap to produce, but their performance leaves a lot to be desired. Conversely, the K&N VF2016 cabin air filter uses a much more efficient design. It is made from a special synthetic material that traps contaminants and holds them in place. This allows air to continue to flow through, even when the filter becomes dirty. Each K&N cabin filter also has an electrostatic charge to keep those dirt particles in place and to help attract more dirt. Even microscopic particles of dust, pollen, mold, spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens get removed from the airstream. Then every 12-months or 12,000 miles (depending on road conditions), you simply pull the K&N cabin filter from its compartment and clean it with the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. The special cleaning spray will dislodge the dirt and allergens trapped inside the material, and the refresh spray will restore the electrostatic charge. The whole process is simple, and will reinvigorate the air inside your GM, Hyundai, or Kia crossover. Because of K&N's extremely high build quality, the K&N VF2016 cabin air filter is backed by a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. It will probably be the last cabin filter you have to buy, and it will not void your factory warranty.
