Why You Should Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Benefits of Replacing Your Cabin Air Filter

If you’ve ever turned on the heat or air conditioning in your vehicle, only to have your cabin smell a little musty or stinky, then it might be time to replace your cabin air filter. This filter functions very similarly to the filter that’s inside of your furnace at home. It’s designed to filter out odors and particles that are decreasing the quality of your indoor air. At Superstition Springs Lexus, we stress the importance of having your cabin air filter changed routinely. You may notice a difference in the smell of your cabin air, but we can also check your filter during routine service appointments at our dealership. We’ll let you know when it’s time to make the change.

How Often Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

Inside your owner’s manual, you’ll find a recommendation regarding the amount of time that should go by before changing your filter. This time frame varies between 12,000 miles and 25,000 miles, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Regardless of what the manufacturer says, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. That’s because of the amount of mileage you’re putting on your vehicle regularly. You may also live in an area of the country that is very dusty or has high levels of pollution. This would require more frequent changes.
