Toyota Corolla Cabin Filter Replacement

Car owners often underestimate the importance of cabin filters. However, this consumable, like a standard air filter, is changed quite often, since untimely maintenance of this part significantly affects the health of people in the car.

Cabin filter Toyota Corolla 150/120 is easy to change on your own, without much effort and financial costs.

What is a filter element for?

The more often you change the filter, the cleaner the air you breathe.

Given that there is a lot of dust and other dangerous impurities in the air on the road, it is dangerous to ignore the importance of the work that the Corolla 150/120 cabin filter does.

For the correct operation of the Corolla air conditioning system, a constant supply of air is necessary, otherwise the system resorts to the use of recirculation flows. All this leads to the accumulation of dust in the filter, high humidity in the cabin, constant fogging of the windows and the development of a favorable environment for pathogenic microorganisms.

In this mode, the air conditioning, heating and filtration systems operate at the limit, which leads to a decrease in resource, as well as an increase in fuel consumption.

Standard elements of the filtration system trap up to 90% of dust particles entering the Corolla cabin with the air flow. Carbon adsorbers are able to absorb not only dust fractions, but also trap unpleasant odors and volatile substances, such as carbon monoxide.

How often to change the filter element?

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, maintenance work to replace the filter on a Toyota Corolla 150 should be carried out every 20 thousand kilometers.

It is not necessary to bring the filter to such a state.

However, in our realities, such an interval is not justified: in the vast majority of cases, filters cease to perform their cleaning function much earlier. Therefore, in reality, it is better to change the cabin filter after passing every 10 thousand kilometers.

The exception is cars operated in the northern regions, where low temperatures last much longer, which means that the filter gets dirty much less often.

The main advantages of using carbon absorbers:

• It is able to actively absorb a large amount of harmful substances released in the composition of exhaust gases, which is extremely important when driving in traffic jams. In such situations, you can safely use the air conditioner without resorting to the recirculation mode;
• Clean carbon filter element prevents glass from fogging;
• The degree of air purification increases to 95-98%;
