Choosing Your Filter
A cabin air filter helps capture dust, pollen, and odors from air passing through your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning system.
No. The cabin air filter filters air entering the passenger compartment. The engine air filter filters air entering the engine.
We offer cabin air filters for automotive and heavy-duty applications. Check the individual product listing on Amazon or our catalogs to confirm compatibility with your vehicle or equipment.
Match your vehicle’s year, make, model, and any additional application details to the product listing. Check the part number and fitment information before ordering. Some vehicles use different filters depending on their configuration.
You can email Next Phase directly at support@nextphasefilters.com. If shopping on Amazon, use the “Contact Seller” feature to send us a message. Include your vehicle’s year, make, model. Add known OE or aftermarket part numbers. This will help us confirm fitment. Same for heavy-duty equipment.
Standard cabin filters primarily capture particles. Activated carbon filters also help reduce certain odors and gases. Check the individual listing to see which type you are purchasing.
Next Phase Filters are proudly made in Oxnard, California, USA.
Replacement and Installation
Follow the replacement schedule in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Dusty conditions or heavy use may require more frequent inspection and replacement.
Reduced airflow from the vents, a visibly dirty filter, or persistent musty odors can indicate that inspection is needed. These symptoms can also have other causes.
Depending on the vehicle, it may be behind the glove box, under the dashboard, or near the windshield under the hood. Check your owner’s manual or vehicle-specific installation instructions.
Most cabin air filters are accessible for do-it-yourself replacement. Installation difficulty varies by vehicle, so review the instructions before starting. The internet is also full of helpful DIY videos.
An arrow labeled “AIR FLOW” should point in the direction air moves through the filter housing. An arrow labeled “UP” indicates installation orientation. A filter without a flow arrow indicates it’s bi-directional and can be installed either way. Follow the vehicle’s instructions and the markings on the filter.
No. Disposable cabin air filters should be replaced rather than washed.
Replacing a clogged filter may improve airflow. It will not correct problems with refrigerant, the blower motor, or other heating and air conditioning components.
Replacement filters can differ in color, pleat count, or construction. Confirm the listed application, dimensions, and installation instructions. Do not force a filter into the housing.
