Yuck! Change that cabin filter!

After all the fires this past summer in NorCal, I decided to check the cabin air filters in our cars. All I can say is O-M-G that's NASTY! You can get a budget-friendly filter like the filter Expedition Replace CF12150 FL3Z 19N619

for around $12, or upgrade to a premium HEPA-based one like the PureFlow PC8214HX 2018 21 Expedition 2015 22
PureFlow PC8214HX 2018 21 Expedition 2015 22
.

Whatever you do - just do it! Look at our old filter compared to the new one! Seriously disgusting!


Replacing your cabin air filter is a quick and easy task that makes a huge difference. Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps!

1. Pull out the ribbed tray just above the glovebox. There’s a notch on the far right side that unclips from the main dash.
2. Use a 7mm socket to remove the two screws holding the tray.
3. Slide the upper tray out to the left. The cabling will stretch enough to give you access. Squeeze the two tabs to remove the filter cover.
4. Take a moment to marvel at how you were breathing with a filter this bad!
5. Drop in your new filter. Trust me, don’t skimp here! I recommend the PureFlow PC8214HX 2018 21 Expedition 2015 22
PureFlow PC8214HX 2018 21 Expedition 2015 22
for cleaner air.

Now you can breathe easy again - congrats on your maintenance!
