Why You Should Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Benefits of Replacing Your Cabin Air Filter

Although there are many ways to improve the quality of your vehicle, the cabin air filter is one of the main components that affect how comfortable you feel in the car. One of the main benefits of regularly changing out the cabin air filter is increasing the lifespan of your air conditioner. The AC has to work harder if the air filter is clogged, which can cause the parts to wear down quicker.

The filter also captures a significant amount of debris and pollutants to reduce the build-up. Odors are also trapped when a clean, new air filter is in place. This means you don't have to smell the dead skunk on the side of the road as you pass by.

How Often Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

Most experts recommend replacing the cabin air filter 12,000 to 15,000 miles, depending on where you live. Areas with a lot of smog or dirt can cause the filter to become clogged quicker. You may need to replace it every 5,000 miles. A certified technician can inspect the part to determine if it's reached the end of its lifespan.

You may also notice it takes longer for heat or cool air to circulate in the cabin. This is because there's less airflow when the cabin air filter is clogged. A musky smell will also start to develop after a few months. In some cases, the air intake ducting will also start to make low whistling noises every time the car is in use.
