Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The cabin air filter in cars and trucks are typically a pleated-paper filter that is placed in the outside-air intake for the vehicle’s passenger compartment. These filters are typically rectangular. Some filters are uniquely shaped to fit the available space of particular vehicles’ outside-air intakes.

Being a relatively recent addition to automobile equipment, this filter is often overlooked, and can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle’s air conditioning performance.

Clogged or dirty cabin air filters can significantly reduce airflow from the cabin vents, as well as introduce allergens into the cabin air stream.
