I've been driving a Buick GL8 for several years, mainly for daily commuting and weekend family trips. I usually replace the air conditioning filter once a year, which is roughly every 15,000 kilometers. However, you shouldn't rigidly adhere to this standard—it depends on the actual situation. For example, when driving in big cities, especially during hazy weather or near construction sites with heavy dust, the filter tends to clog more easily. You'll notice reduced airflow and strange odors, and prolonged AC use in summer can also increase fuel consumption. So, I check it every six months or so. If the filter is dirty and not replaced promptly, it not only affects the air quality inside the car but may also damage the AC system. I usually replace it myself with a reputable brand filter—it saves money and gives peace of mind. Taking care of these small maintenance tasks regularly greatly improves driving comfort.
