Helpful Information

What is a cabin air filter?

Auto cabin air filters ensure that the air quality inside your car interior is clean and breathable. These filters prevent pollen, dust, and other contaminants from getting inside your cabin. Cabin air filters clean the air that goes to the HVAC system of your car, catching any pollutants in the process.

Where is the cabin air filter located?

These filters are often found in the ducts that deliver outside air to the HVAC system. Other cars have their cabin filters placed near the base of the windshield in the engine compartment. Other automakers install auto cabin air filters below the dashboard or behind the glove box of the car.

How often should I change cabin air filters?

Car manufacturers and auto air filter brands recommend varying replacement intervals for cabin air filters. Most cabin filters are recommended to be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on how you drive your ride. We suggest checking your vehicle owner’s manual and consulting with a professional to know the proper replacement interval for these filters.

Why should I replace cabin air filters?

Having a clogged car cabin air filter will prevent your HVAC system from getting air. Your windows will fog up easily, while the quality of your interior air will be unpleasant for passengers. A clogged cabin air filter will emit strong odors and increase the load on your ventilation fan, which can damage your HVAC system in the long run.

How do I replace my car’s cabin air filter?

Park your car on a flat, dry surface and check if your parking brake is on. Next, open and remove your glove box. Remove the old auto cabin air filter afterward, then clean the surface around it. Lastly, see how the old filter was installed. Place the new filter in the exact orientation. Make sure that the new assembly is compatible with your ride for proper functionality.
