What is a Cabin Air Filter?

All vehicles will need maintenance eventually and usually, people think that means getting the oil changed or tire rotations, but one of the most overlooked parts of your car is the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter can be situated in a few different places, but it is usually located behind the glove box and is responsible for purifying the air that comes in through the heating and AC systems. The cabin air filter is crucial to keeping your cabin air clean and healthy by filtering out particles like pollen, pollution, mold spores, and dust.
