How does urban driving in cities like Lahore and Karachi increase the risk of filter clogging in Changan Kalam?

Frequent braking, slow speeds, and high pollution levels may accelerate filter clogging. Should city drivers change filters more often than rural users?

Urban driving worsens filter wear due to:

Constant exposure to dust, soot, and smog.

Short trips and idling mean less airflow, which traps more debris.

Traffic congestion increases AC usage, making cabin filters work harder.

Construction dust and poor road maintenance add to particulate load.

➡️ City drivers should change filters more frequently than highway o r rural drivers.
