What Does the Cabin Air Filter Do?

In your Jeep, the HVAC system brings in air from the outside, warming or cooling it if you choose and then circulating it around your cabin. However, the outside air is full of bugs, pollen, mold spores, and more -- and the faster you drive, the more of these things can enter the cabin. That's where the cabin air filter comes into play. It blocks any of these contaminants from entering your Jeep's cabin so that you can breathe only fresh, clean air while you drive. This is especially handy for those who have allergies, but even those without allergies deserve clean, high-quality air.

Why Should I Have the Cabin Air Filter in My Jeep Replaced?

The cabin air filter is really good at its job. It's so good, in fact, that it will eventually become clogged with all the junk that it blocks. When this happens, the air won't move through your system as freely. You may notice a stale or musty smell, and the heater or air conditioner may not work as well. This is because they have to work harder to deliver decreased results due to the blockage. Having the cabin air filter replaced means that you and your passengers can breathe easy and be comfortable once again.

How Often Is This Service Necessary?

At Bluebonnet Jeep, we recommend having this service performed every 10,000 miles, or about once a year. However, this can vary based on how you drive. If you do a lot of off-roading in your Jeep, the cabin air filter will have to block out a lot more dust. In cases like these, it may be a good idea to have this service performed more often.
