FAQs

What is a cabin filter?

A cabin filter is much like the filter used with the furnace and/or air conditioning system in your home. Bosch cabin filters eliminate particles from entering a vehicle’s interior, and keeps passengers and downstream HVAC components protected. This is good news for the estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from allergies and hay fever.

Why do so many new vehicles have Cabin Filters?

More Americans are concerned with the quality of the air they breathe, which makes cabin air filtration a desirable feature in new vehicles. At the end of 2003 there were an estimated 40+ million vehicles on the road with a Cabin Air Filtration system.

How do I know if I have one?

Check your vehicle’s owners manual to see if your vehicle is equipped with a cabin filter. You can also check the Vehicle Part Finder on this website for more information.

If my vehicle does not have a cabin filter as standard equipment or as part of a dealer option package, can I still put one on my vehicle?

No, due to the ventilation design on a vehicle, only those vehicles originally equipped can have a cabin filter.

Are there other names for a cabin filter?

Yes, here is a list of cabin filter aliases; Pollen Filter, Interior Air Filter, Micro Filter, Micron Filter, Combi/Combo Filter, Dust Filter, Air Conditioning Filter, Passenger Compartment Air Filter, A/C Particle Filter, Dust & Pollen Filter, Interior Ventilation Filter.

What is the recommended replacement interval for a cabin filter?

The average recommended change interval is 12-15,000 miles or once a year. Also, check for replacement when your vehicle’s heating/air conditioning system is exhibiting reduced airflow or if a stale, musty smell emits from your vehicle’s air vents.

Where is my cabin filter located?

Cabin filters are generally found in one of the following locations; Under the hood, Glove Box, or Under the Dashboard.

Are there different types of cabin filters?

Yes, there are two types of cabin filters. The first type is a Particulate Filter. This type of filter screens out road dust, bacteria, mold spores, pollens, and other pollutants floating in the air. The second type of cabin filter is an Activated Charcoal Filter, which does everything a Particulate Filter does, with the added benefit of absorbing harmful gases and odors.
