If you have wondered if you should change your cabin air filter here's a good reason to reconsider.


Old vs new filter

 

I got rid of mine along time ago

 

This is random lol. I thought it was common to change out the cabin filter. I have changed mine once but it is about time to change it again
​​​​​​​

 

Bought the car late July, been on the road since mid August. Finally got it off my to do list.

 

Why?

 

Better without

 

Oh right, don't want to be restricting that blower fan airflow. I never noticed mine lacking but now that you say that I'm wondering if I should check and see if K&N makes a cabin filter. Need that high flow for ultimate climate control performance.

 

my AC air smells weird and Im sure this is why. I need to change mine.

 

ya have a tendency to mildew if they get wet. Actually a gm bulliten about it.

 

First thing I did when I bought the car.

 

I always forget. But my blower motor did quiet down a bunch after changing it last time.

They're cheap as hell on Rock Auto.

 

theyre charcoal activated so they go black right away. doesnt mean its bad necessarily. now if its covered in dirt, squirel poop, nuts, grass and everything else then yeah chance it.

 

I got two for $8 on ebay

 

Fairly easy to access? I don’t even know where the thing is lol

 

Its behind the glove box

 

Thanks got it. **** is it dirty lol

 

Id be willing to bet the one in my daily is factory from 07

 

Some nasty ish up in here

 

I'm scared to even look at mine

 

^ I concur. I should check my SRI filter as well.

 

I just hit mine with some air until my fram one comes from amazon. $15 isn’t bad after 8 years of use for the original one lol

Wow they actually do for our cars

 

Think the recommended change time is like 6 months.

Probably a good idea for people with allergies.
