How often do you change your cabin air filter?

[JJSnell]

I usually do this every 5k miles but let this one go 10k. Dirtier than I expected.
- Non smoker
- A/C all summer
- Heater\Def all winter
- Windows almost always up.

What's your average replacement?

I didn’t know we had an air filter . My Expedition didn’t have one. Maybe just a Lariat and above thing?

It was a 2007. Ford got rid of them in 2003 for the 2nd gen ones and forward. I assumed the F-150 was still running without one too.

Had one in my '20, '21, and both my '22's. I change em whenever they look bad, usually every six months.

I do about every 6 months on mine.

This is an item I change every other oil change.

So an average 'miles per year' is about 10k-12k, so you guys are about on target with 5k miles it sounds like. I go by miles cause sometimes I dont drive it for a month at a time and other times I put 3k on it in a month...

I believe the manual recommends changing the cabin air filter every 20k mi
