Air Filters
Lex Brodie's Fast Lube replaces engine air filters and cabin air filters at two Big Island locations in Kailua-Kona and Hilo. Engine air filters remove dust, pollen, and debris from the air entering your engine - a clogged engine air filter can reduce fuel efficiency and engine performance. Cabin air filters clean the air flowing through your vehicle's heating and air conditioning system, removing allergens, dust, and pollutants from the air you breathe inside the vehicle. Lex Brodie's Fast Lube recommends replacing cabin air filters every 12,000 miles or annually. No appointment required.

Cabin Air Filter
Your cabin air filter cleans the air that flows through your vehicle's heating and air conditioning system. It removes pollen, dust, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants from the air you and your passengers breathe. This is especially important in Hawaii, where vog (volcanic smog) from Kilauea can affect air quality on the Big Island. We recommend replacing your cabin air filter every 12,000 miles or at least once a year. Our technicians check your engine air filter during every oil change and will let you know if replacement is needed.Air Filters
Air Filters FAQs
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?
An engine air filter prevents dust and debris from entering your engine's combustion chamber - a clogged engine air filter reduces fuel efficiency and engine performance. A cabin air filter cleans the air flowing through your vehicle's heating and air conditioning system, removing pollen, dust, and pollutants from the air you breathe inside the vehicle. They are two separate filters that serve different purposes.
How often should I replace my cabin air filter in Hawaii?
We recommend replacing your cabin air filter every 12,000 miles or at least once a year. On the Big Island, vog (volcanic smog) from Kilauea can affect air quality, which means your cabin air filter may need replacement more frequently than in other climates. Our technicians check your engine air filter during every oil change and will let you know if replacement is needed.
