The cabin air filter is usually located hidden inside the glove box and is often a neglected maintenance item but it shouldn’t be as the air filter is easy to replace and the benefits of routinely replacing the filter element is highly beneficial to the performance of your car’s heating and cooling system and to your health as well!

The purpose of the cabin air filter is to clean the outside air by filtering and preventing most of the harmful particles such as road debris, dirt, leaves, pollen, bugs, brake dust, soot from diesel exhaust, etc. from entering the inside cabin of your car which greatly improves the overall quality of air you and your occupants are breathing by preventing these particles from being inhaled into your lungs – unless you have your windows down. The cabin air filter also helps to filter the recirculated air inside your car when you put your car’s air ventilation system in re-circulation mode.

We highly advise routine replacement of the cabin air filter and having a cabin air filter installed at all times. A new cabin air filter will always allow more air to flow through the filter element compared to a old dirty air filter. This will help ensure proper air flow through your car’s heating and air conditioning system and also improve the overall quality of air in your car as you will be breathing cleaner air passing through the new filter as oppose to dirty air passing through the old dirty air filter. In some cases old air filters can cause a mildew smell inside the car from mold that grows on the filter element or a mysterious smell in the car from things trapped on the filter.
