How Often to Change Cabin Air Filter

Hand removing cabin air filter

 

Are you wondering how often to change a cabin air filter? Typically, auto industry experts recommend that your interval for cabin air filter replacement should be about every 15,000 miles. That being said, your owner’s manual will have model-specific service intervals, including things like oil change and cabin air filter replacement intervals. Can’t find your owner’s manual? Not a problem – the service team at Wilson KIA is more than happy to help by finding the interval information for you, as well as performing a quick check of the health of your current cabin air filter to see if it needs to be replaced.

What Does a Cabin Air Filter Do?

You may be wondering, “What does a cabin air filter do?” A cabin air filter serves the purpose of cleaning the air that is meant for the interior of your cabin – these would include the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. It keeps a majority of dirt, dust, pollen, and other contaminating particles from getting through, keeping them out of your breathing space. Over time, however, the cabin air filter can become clogged, affecting your vehicle’s interior air quality. 

When You Need a Cabin Air Filter Replacement?

If you live and drive in a city with less than optimal air quality, or perhaps a lot of construction, or if you spend a lot of time driving on dirt roads away from the streets of Flowood, then you may need to change out your cabin air filter more often. If you start to notice reduced airflow when climate control systems are in use, or lingering unpleasant odors, it may be time to change your cabin air filter.

Tips on How To Change a Cabin Air Filter

Changing your vehicle’s cabin air filter isn’t a terribly difficult or time-consuming task – just follow the steps below and you should be in good order! If you need assistance, remember that it’s easy to schedule a service appointment online.

  1. First, use your owner’s manual to determine where the filter is located. This will determine how difficult or easy it is to replace the cabin air filter.
  2. Often the cabin air filter is behind the glove box or under the hood, which should be fairly accessible, but in some models it’s under the dashboard, which is more difficult to reach.
  3. Protect yourself by wearing gloves and a mask in case removing the dirty air filter gets messy. 
  4. Place the old filter in a garbage bag, and replace it with a genuine OEM part to ensure quality, durability, and fit, and to maintain the Kia warranty.
