Why You Should Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Benefits of Changing a Cabin Air Filter

A working cabin air filter is important for your car's health. Although the cabin air filter doesn't help you get from one place to the next, it is an essential component. Letting a cabin air filter get too dirty or go too long between changes can lead to negative effects that range from bad odors to an overworked air conditioning system. The cabin air filter traps pollutants in the air that you can't see entering the cabin, including smoke, pollen, smog, dust, and dirt. It also keeps exhaust fumes from reaching the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. When the filter gets clogged, it cannot properly clean the air. As a result, any or all of those harmful contaminants can circulate through the cabin. The HVAC system may not work as efficiently, and you might start to notice foul odors, especially when you use the heat or AC. Window condensation may also appear, and you might start developing respiratory symptoms.

How Often Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

For most vehicles, replacing the cabin air filter at around 12,000 or 13,000 miles will keep the cabin air clean and fresh. However, if you drive in an area with a lot of dust or pollution, you might need to change the air filter more often, even every 5,000 miles or so. If you have allergies or other respiratory problems, your mechanic might recommend changing the cabin air filter more frequently to prevent discomfort.
