Why Cabin Air Filter Replacement is Important

When driving, dust, debris, pollen, pollutants, and other airborne particles can enter your vehicle through its HVAC system. A cabin air filter stops these particles from doing that so you have a clean, comfortable, and safe environment inside your car. Cabin air filters also help your HVAC system run smoothly so you get the full effects of your air conditioning and heating. If you go too long without replacing your cabin air filter, pollutants from outside can enter your car and your HVAC system will need to work harder, which can cause it to run poorly or even make the motor blow up.

When You Should Get Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Most cabin air filters should be replaced between every 15,000-30,000 miles but this depends on how often you drive, the environment you drive in, and the type of filter your car uses. You’ll know it’s time to replace it if you start smelling any musty, foul, or unpleasant odors, the air conditioning is weak even though it’s on full blast, or there are whistling sounds from the cabin intake ducts.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Cabin Air Filter Replacement
