Cabin Air Filter Locaton....

I just did one of these... Passenger side cowel, if there's not one in there, take the plastic screen out and put the filter in it's place.

Thanks guys. Fram had a video showing how to replace the cabin air filter on my Focus...and the instructions were very simple.

Ordered the "Breath Easy" Fram from Amazon...$15.99...and Fram is offering a $3.00 rebate.

Anyone know how often these filters should be replaced? Would it be time or mileage?

I like to change mine at this time of year, after the pollen season.

Focus usually needs changed 2x/year...

Who told you this nonsense? Unless your in a real dusty sandy area once every 30k miles, very dependent on driving conditions. NO WAY twice a year.

Dusty and pollen area, such as Florida where I live, once every year.

Hello, When O2 sensors were new to the aftermarket NAPA's line of replacemens was called "Breathe Easy" and came in a grey and white box. I guess there are just so many names. Kira

It's listed in my Honda owner's manual to replace the cabin air filter every 15K.

that sounds reasonable, i've seen cabin filters at 25 and 30K and not pretty
