Why You Should Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Benefits of Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Replacing the cabin air filter in your vehicle as needed benefits you and your car. The cabin air filter is a small part in the air conditioning system. The cabin air filter acts as a gatekeeper to filter air that moves between the cabin and the air conditioning system. The air filter makes the system work more efficiently by trapping contaminants and airborne debris before it reaches the air conditioning system. If the cabin air filter gets too dirty or becomes clogged, clean air can't reach the AC system, making it work harder. In turn, that can burn out the components more rapidly. Additionally, a functional cabin air filter makes the air cleaner and fresher in the interior, and it can keep condensation from building up on the windshield.

How Often Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

The ideal replacement schedule for a cabin air filter can vary from one vehicle to the next. In typical conditions, you may be able to go for 13,000 miles in between cabin air filter changes. If you live in a place that has a lot of dust in the air, or if your car is otherwise exposed to above-average volumes of dirt and airborne particles, the cabin air filter may need to be changed more often. Some vehicles may need to have their cabin air filters changed every 5,000 miles, or about four times per year if they are prone to getting dirty more frequently. The cabin air filter should also be checked before spring if you are sensitive to allergens or if you live in a place with high pollen counts.
