What Does a Cabin Air Filter Do?

A cabin air filter cleans the air entering your car’s ventilation, heating, and air conditioning systems, and it keeps dirt, pollen, dust, and other pollutants from getting inside your cabin. Over time, it gets clogged, which impacts your vehicle’s interior air quality. 

Signs That it’s Time to Change a Cabin Air Filter

If, while driving around Pasadena, there is smoke in the air or lots of construction, or if you often drive in the desert or on dirt roads beyond North Hollywood, you may need to change your filter more often. These are some signs to look for that indicate it’s time to change your air filter:

  • Reduced airflow when your climate control systems are on
  • You see more dust than usual settling on your vehicle’s surfaces
  • Lingering unpleasant odors

How to Change a Cabin Air Filter

  1. Look in your owner’s manual to find where the filter is. 
  2. Usually, the cabin air filter is located behind the glove box or under the hood, but in some cars, it’s under the dashboard and is more challenging to reach.
  3. Wear gloves and a mask when removing the dirty air filter. 
  4. Place the old filter in a garbage bag, and replace it with a new Chevrolet OEM part to ensure the highest quality, fit, and durability. You can order your cabin air filter online with the Subaru of Glendale parts center near Los Angeles. 

How Much Does Changing a Cabin Air Filter Cost?
