Enjoy cleaner air quality with a new Bosch Cabin Filter.
To optimise your driving experience, it’s important to maintain a clean and fresh environment in your car by using an efficient cabin filter.
Your car’s cabin air filter can deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements (including potentially harmful ones), such as dust, pollen, and exhaust fumes. So it makes sense to remember to regularly inspect and replace your cabin air filter regularly to help ensure it’s effective in keeping your cabin air clean.
Consult your local O'Brien® automotive technician for a complimentary cabin filter inspection (available for most vehicles). You’ll have access to a wide range of top-quality cabin air filters options if you need a replacement for your vehicle.
What does a cabin air filter do?
Your car’s cabin filter is the only barrier against external pollution in an enclosed cabin. The cabin filter is an important part of your vehicle’s HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) system that helps remove polluted air from entering the cabin, thus ensuring passengers’ health, safety and comfort.
Why change your Cabin Filter
- For cleaner air in the cabin
- For better performance of the HVAC system
- To reduce windscreen fogging
Signs that you need to replace your car’s cabin filter
Allergic Reactions: If you or your passengers begin to experience sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose or other allergic reactions while in the car, it could be an indication that your current cabin filter is becoming ineffective.
Bad Smells: If you notice unpleasant odours inside the car, especially when you turn on the ventilation system, this is a common signal that you need a new cabin filter.
Poor Air Conditioning Performance: If you feel that your vehicle has reduced cooling or heating efficiency, this may be attributed to a cabin filter that’s reached the end of its lifespan.
Frequent Windscreen Fogging: If your car’s windscreen fogs up frequently, this may be a result of poor ventilation due to a clogged cabin filter.

FAQs
All the essential information about cabin filters
Finding the right type of Cabin Filter to suit your car is important for maximum comfort, air quality and well-being. Each car model requires a specific size/type of filter, and at O’Brien®, we offer a range of Bosch Cabin Filters to suit most vehicles.
We recommend choosing a trusted Cabin Filter brand like Bosch. With a history that dates back to 1926 and a strong focus on safety and reliability, they have a wide range of high-quality cabin filters that offer optimum performance. Ask your O’Brien® Auto Technician which Bosch Cabin Filter is the right one for your vehicle.
To help keep the air in your vehicle clean and fresh, Bosch advises changing your Cabin Filter every year or after every 15,000 kilometres. By adhering to this regular maintenance, you can ensure that your vehicle’s cabin filter is doing what it should, reducing particles like fine dust, microorganisms, and exhaust fumes from other cars from entering your vehicle, and keeping your heating/ventilation/air-conditioning (HVAC) system working as it should.
A dirty Cabin Filter is contaminated and can’t be reused. The effectiveness of a cabin filter reduces over time like many things so when it’s clogged and full of dust, debris and more, it will no longer be effective and can possibly cause issues with your vehicle HVAC system (not to mention the funny odours). TIP: You can’t recycle used Cabin Filters, so these should not be placed in Recycling bins but instead disposed with General Waste.
Whilst changing your cabin filter yourself is possible, it can be easier to have a trained professional, like an O’Brien® technician help, especially if you’ve never done it before.
Our expert technicians will perform a complimentary cabin filter check as part of your vehicle glass service, and if your filter needs replacing, they will recommend the right Bosch Cabin Filter for your vehicle and change it over for you at no cost of installation.
Bosch Cabin Filters can be purchased from your local O’Brien® AutoGlass Service Centre, and for most vehicles we can even change your cabin filter over for no additional charge. And if you need two or more auto accessories, you can access discounts as part of our value bundles range. Ask our team how.
