Genuine Mercedes-Benz Air Filters

Air filters capture infiltrates. Your Mercedes-Benz vehicle has two of them -- an engine air filter to protect the motor and its many parts, and a cabin air filter to protect the heating and air conditioning systems and the interior.

Both types can be made of either synthetic paper, metal, foam, or cotton, either flat, circular, or cylindrical in design, and in some cases, washable and reusable. Most often, you replace them, though, and you do so when you see certain signs. They include:

• Obstructed airflow
• Media that's dirty, damaged, or worn-out
• A Check Engine light and/or other warnings on the dash
• Engine misfires
• Engine power loss
• Problems speeding up
• Worsening gas mileage
• Black smoke in the exhaust
• Whistling or other abnormal sounds coming from the cabin vents
• A stale or dirty odor in the interior

Otherwise, you should change them every 12,000 to 15,000 miles (in other words, annually). Reference your owner's manual for more info. How do you install new ones, though? That depends on what that documentation and/or the instructions from the manufacturer say to do. Generally, though, it's a matter of first locating the filter housing (under the hood for engine air filters, behind the glove box for cabin air filters), then popping the old filter out and putting the new one in. Before you buy either, though, be sure you're getting the genuine article.

Why Buy Genuine OEM Air Filters vs. Aftermarket?

When Mercedes-Benz designs its air filters, it does so specifically for its car and SUV models. That's a compatibility guarantee that not all off-brands can always make.
