These filters, basically, clean the air that comes into your car’s cabin. They filter out dust, pollen, smoke, and other nasty stuff from the outside. Some of the better ones even grab odors and some bacteria, viruses even. They’re like a big air purifier just for your car. It's part of your car’s heating and air conditioning system – the HVAC system. The air gets pulled in through the vents, and before it gets blown on you, it goes through this filter. It doesn’t affect how well your AC blows cold, or your heater blows hot, but it does affect the quality of the air you’re breathing while it’s doing that. It’s usually located behind the glove box, or sometimes under the dashboard, and is a fairly simple replacement. You can find diagrams online showing exactly where yours is, or we can look it up here. Fixparts Online has a good selection of them, with diagrams too, if you want to browse. Honestly, it’s a big comfort and health thing. If you have allergies, or just don’t want to breathe in city grime, a clean cabin filter is essential. You’ll notice if it’s getting clogged because the airflow from your vents will start to weaken, or you might notice more smells coming through. It also helps keep the AC system itself clean, because it’s stopping that stuff from building up on the evaporator core. It's a cheap part, and replacing it regularly, usually once a year, is a really smart move for your comfort and for keeping the air inside your car healthy. Competitive edge: Cabin Filter (MPN LAK181) comes with a 12-month warranty!
