What’s the Purpose of a Cabin Air Filter?

Most vehicles’ cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment, and its main job is filtering the air that enters the cabin through the A/C and heating system. The cabin air filter is essential to keeping the quality of the air inside the cabin healthy for you and your passengers. By removing things like dust, pollution, mold spores, and pollen, the cabin air filter keeps your cabin air quality high. Over time the filter can become blocked with debris or dust and can affect the way your air conditioning system works.

Changing Your Cabin Air Filter

When was the last time you or your service technician changed your cabin air filter? If you don’t remember it may be a good idea to check your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Most manuals will give you an estimated time frame on when to replace the cabin filter. Generally, it should be replaced between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. If you notice reduced airflow, strange odors, or an increase in dust inside your vehicle, then it may be time to replace the cabin air filter. Most cabin filters are easy to get to, so checking yours is also an option. When checking your filter, look for lots of dust build-up or other debris that shouldn’t be there like leaves.

What Kind of Cabin Air Filter is the Right One?

While there are a few different types of cabin air filters, most are pleated and look similar to paper, but are made of natural and synthetic fibers. The better the quality of the filter, the more layers they might have, and are also offered in different types and degrees of filtration. Unfortunately, not all cabin air filters are created equally, meaning that as the quality goes up, so does the price. Most standard filters are good at taking 98 percent of particles out of the air but may miss mold or pollen spores. The higher the quality of the filter, the better it will work at taking contaminants out of the air.
