Cabin air filters purify the air that comes into your cockpit. Also known as air conditioning filters, they prevent outside pollution from getting into your car, improving the air quality inside your ride.

These cabin filters are located behind the glove compartment, under your dashboard, and under the hood. Some vehicles also have these inside the HVAC case between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Though, the main components helped by these filters are the heating, air conditioning, and defrost systems.

Their main difference from the air filters are what they're cleaning the air for. While air filters prevent contaminants from reaching your engine, the cabin air filters are there to prevent the same contaminants from reaching inside your cabin.

Replace your cabin air filters every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or at least once a year depending on your driving habits. If you frequently drive on dusty roads, then you may want to replace them even earlier.
