Durango11-21 Grand Cherokee11-20 OEM Quality Cabin Air Filter 68079487AA

A cabin air filter is an important component in a vehicle's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Its main function is to clean the air that enters the car's cabin through the HVAC system. The filter traps various airborne contaminants, such as dust, pollen, dirt, smog, and even mold spores, ensuring that the air inside the car remains fresh and clean for passengers.

Key features:

1. Construction:
• Typically made from pleated paper or a synthetic fiber material.
• Often includes a carbon layer to absorb odors and harmful gases.
2. Location:
• Usually located behind the glove box or near the dashboard, easily accessible for replacement.
3. Types:
• Particulate filters: These only filter out solid particles like dust and pollen.
• Activated carbon filters: In addition to trapping particles, these filters also absorb odors, fumes, and harmful gases.
4. Maintenance:
• Should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain optimal air quality inside the vehicle.

The cabin air filter not only ensures clean air but also helps in maintaining the efficiency of the HVAC system by preventing the buildup of debris.
