Cabin filter - 05-28-2009, 02:16 PM

Do any of you guys change the inside air or "CABIN FILTER"in your cars??

Seems to be a big push by some dealers.

At least annually. And I do it myself. Most cars are very easy to do.

Sure do. You wouldn't believe how dirty the thing is when I change it (somewhere around every 12K miles or so).


I don't believe in grit guards.

Is there a link as to where the things are located? Are they under the dash or up front by the windshild wipers?

I think it would depend on your vehicle. I would imagine it would be somewhere close to your AC motor.

Like Jared said. You'll be disgusted knowing that the air you're breathing in the cabin went through all that crud. Definitely not a gimmick. I think Autozone can pull up the filter's location.

Check your owner's manual. Or Google it. I have also found videos on YouTube.

I change mine out at least annually, sometimes twice a year depending on how much I used the air in the first 6 months.
