Lifetime Parts: Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter is a high particulate filtration device that is attached to the outside air intake of your vehicle’s ventilation system. This device helps to improve air quality and filter out pollution from the air that circulates inside the vehicles cabin. Most cabin air filters are made from a pleated paper construction, using a variety of different filtration products.

Some are made of cotton and others are made of paper blend, while others are basically extremely miniaturized paper filters similar to the air filter of your car’s engine.

Changing your cabin air filter is a very important part of regular vehicle maintenance and one that can not only help improve the circulation and performance of your air conditioning system, but one that can also help improve the quality of air that is circulated through your vehicles cabin.

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that the cabin air filter be changed at least once a year or every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you operate your vehicle in heavily polluted areas or commonly drive along dirt or gravel roads, you may want to consider changing the filter more often. For these types of areas, changing the cabin air filter every 5,000 to 6,000 miles or every 6 months is recommended.
