How can I tell if I need a new cabin air filter?

Your car's cabin air filter helps to keep the air inside your car clean and free of dust, pollen, and other pollutants. Over time, the filter can become dirty and clogged, which can reduce the airflow inside your car and make it harder to breathe. If you notice any of the following signs, it's a good idea to replace your cabin air filter:  your car's air conditioner doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to, the air coming out of your vents is dusty or dirty, you have allergies or asthma, and you're having trouble breathing in your car or if you can smell something strange inside your car, like mold or mildew.

If you see any of these signs, it's a good idea to replace your cabin air filter. You can usually find the cabin air filter behind the glove box or under the dashboard. To replace the filter, you'll need to remove the old filter and install the new one. The exact instructions for replacing the filter will vary depending on your car.

Replacing your cabin air filter is a quick and easy way to improve the air quality inside your car. It's a good idea to replace the filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or more often if you live in an area with a lot of dust, pollen, or pollution.
