Why You Should Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Benefits of Cabin Air Filter Replacement

You likely want to keep the air in your cabin as clean and fresh as possible, especially if you suffer from allergies. The cabin air filter serves that exact purpose. This filter works with your HVAC system to get rid of impurities.

If you do not change your cabin air filter, it will eventually become clogged with debris. This will reduce how effectively the HVAC system works. It can also result in foul odors inside of your car.

How Often Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

Typically speaking, a cabin air filter should be replaced every 12,000 miles. Your vehicle may have different recommendations, however, so be sure to check your owner's manual. There are other factors to keep in mind as well, such as how frequently you drive on dirt roads.

There are a few things to look out for if you suspect your cabin air filter needs to be replaced. If the heating and air conditioning system is not working as it should, it could be the result of a clogged air filter. Other signs include an unpleasant smell and a whistling sound coming from the vents.
