Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the cabin air filter need to be changed?
Most cabin air filters need to be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but driving conditions like dusty roads can significantly impact this. A dirty cabin air filter will give noticeable signs that its life span has ended, including a musty smell when running your car's HVAC system, a decrease in airflow from the vents, and a drastic increase of dust buildup within the cabin over time.
What happens if you don't change the cabin air filter?
If you don't change the cabin air filter, you'll notice that the dust buildup in your cabin sharply increases over time, the HVAC vents blow air with weaker force, and the smell of the HVAC system's air takes on a musty or dirty smell. Changing your cabin air filter is an essential part of car maintenance and a service that's important for your respiratory health.
What are the symptoms of a dirty engine air filter?
A dirty engine air filter comes with symptoms like decreased engine performance and a noticeable drop in fuel efficiency. If the engine air filter is dangerously dirty, you'll notice engine symptoms like a misfire (a stuttering in performance), rough engine-idling performance, and sometimes a check engine light illuminated on your dashboard. Treat your engine well; schedule your engine air filter service if any of these symptoms appear.
How much does it cost to replace the air cabin filter in a car?
Usually, the cost of a replacement cabin air filter depends on your vehicle's make and model. Most affordable models use cabin air filters that cost anywhere from $20 to $50 to replace, while luxury vehicles may cost up to $100. Book an appointment with our Quantrell Volvo technicians in Lexington, KY, to learn more about cabin air filter replacement costs.
Can you just clean an air cabin filter, or must you replace it?
Your vehicle's cabin air filter can be cleaned or replaced, depending on the type of filter you have. Paper-based filters should be removed and replaced since they won't be able to withstand cleaning. Cloth-based filters should be removed and cleaned thoroughly every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or about once annually. Knock off dirt and pick out large debris, like leaves, that may block airflow.
Can I drive with a bad cabin air filter?
While you can drive with a bad cabin air filter, it is not recommended. A cabin air filter composed of a lot of dirt and debris will likely have a musty smell that can distract drivers and pollute the cabin with air contaminants. Change the cabin air filter to take advantage of a clean, pleasant scent and remove possible air contaminants that can cause illness.
