Why You Should Change Your Cabin Air Filter

Changing your cabin air filter needs to be a part of the regular maintenance of your vehicle. It doesn’t necessarily affect how you get to your destination, but it affects how you get there.

There are many reasons you should change your cabin air filter, including:

• You are getting a moldy or musty smell or other foul odors, which could lead to health problems
• your HVAC system is running poorly, putting unnecessary strain on your engine
• you notice lower gas mileage, costing you more money at the pump

if you notice a lot of condensation in your vehicle or are having problems with defogging your window in the winter, changing your cabin air filter is the first thing you should do.

A lot of people overlook this and think that there is something major wrong with there vehicle, like bad seals around the door or windows, but oftentimes the cabin air filter just needs to be replaced.
