It is such a hassle when your ride sucks in dirty air. For sure, you won’t experience optimum engine performance. It won’t burn the much needed fuel efficiently. Worse part is that it would spew large amount of unburnt fuel in the form of polluting smoke out of your car’s tail pipe end. It is high time that you replace the cabin air filter.

If you want to be a DIY-er, there many air filters out there found online and the nearest auto shop shacks. For my part, since I am still taking baby steps trying to install one, I found this video from AutoMD starring Barbara, the most voluptuous cabin air filter installer I’ve seen in awhile.
