The cabin filter in the car is essential to guarantee no particles and sometimes less microbes can go in your air-conditioning units and very importantly prevent mold build up .
The car dealers usually advise you to get the filter changed every oil change and they charge up to 60 dollars at the time to do that.
I learned that you can keep your filter up to 12 thousand miles unless you were a smoker.
This filter can be bought from autozone or any other car parts dealer and it costs between $15 to $25 depending on the brand.
It comes with installing instructions and can be accomplished in 3 minutes.
Steps:
1. open the front passenger door.
2. open the glove box and if it has stuff in it put those things aside.
3. remove the nuts or knots 🪢 or the reusable screws from the sides of the glove box as shown in the video or described in the " changing cabin filter installation instructions for Chevrolet Traverse lS 2017 "
4. pull very gently, the glove box down in the direction of opening it.
5. Find the air filter drawer.
6. open the drawer by pulling the lips up with both hands.
7. remove the old air cabin filter.
8. check the air flow direction on the new filter and install.
9. close the air filter drawer.
10. reinstall the nuts or the screws of the glove box.
10.a. lift the glove box as if you are closing it.
10.b. install the screws.
11. check ✔️ if it closes properly.
if yes then you mastered it. if not try to check the cause and then master it.
This process can save you $60 every 5000 miles !! and it takes 3 minutes to do.
I hope this helps 🙏 💕
