What Is the Cabin Air Filter

What is a Car Cabin Air Filter? Today, most vehicles on the road have a cabin air filter installed to help keep the vehicle air clean and fresh. These air filters help prevent harmful pollutants, including pollen and dust, from getting into the air you breathe.

What happens if you don't change your cabin air filter?

If you don’t change your cabin air filter, the filter will become more clogged with dirt and debris and the efficiency of the filter and your car’s HVAC system will be compromised. The air volume into your passenger compartment will be continually reduced which will lead to the issue of foul odors inside your car.

How often should you change your cabin filter?

Cabin Air Filters should be changed about every 30,000 miles. But, it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual for your recommended vehicle maintenance needs to have your air filter changed.
