The Cabin Air Filter Most Drivers Forget

Almost every car has a cabin air filter, and almost nobody remembers it exists. It cleans the air coming through your vents, and when it clogs up, you notice in ways you might not expect.

What a dirty cabin filter causes

  • Weak airflow from the vents, even on high
  • Musty or dusty smells inside the car
  • Worse heating and air conditioning performance
  • More dust, pollen, and allergens in the cabin

An easy, affordable fix

Most cabin filters should be replaced roughly every 15,000 to 25,000 miles, or more often if you drive a lot of dusty roads or deal with allergies. It is one of the least expensive services there is, and the difference in air quality is immediate.
