Cabin air filters keep the air you and your passengers breathe free from pollutants, irritants, and allergens. They're usually found behind your glove compartment or under the front cowling on the passenger side of your vehicle -- places where they're ideally situated to clean the air flowing through your ride's AC system before it passes through the air vents and into your lungs.

How Do I Recognize a Failing Cabin Air Filter?

Over time, air filters can either degrade with age or clog up with the particulates they've collected. Most often, they get blocked long before they degrade. If you notice a musty-smelling cabin, weaker airflow coming from the vents, or can't maintain a consistent cabin temperature, the first thing to check is your cabin air filter's condition. If it's fibers are dirty or brittle, you're overdue for a new one.

How Much Are OEM Cabin Air Filters?

The filters themselves can range from $6 to $50, depending on the model. Labor costs are estimated to run between $30 and $40, though you can save that by taking care of it yourself. Just make sure to follow the directions detailed in your owner's manual.
