Changing Your Car’s Cabin Filter with BOSCH Carbon Cabin Air Filter

In your car, it functions to protect you from harmful airborne particles and fumes from your commute. This becomes increasingly apparent during the hazy season. Every car comes equipped with a cabin air filter, when was the last time you changed yours? It is recommended to be replaced on average once every year, depending on your driving hours.

Most workshops will charge you, depending on your car, at least RM80-RM90 for a standard quality air filter. I recommend buying a premium one like BOSCH’s and changing it yourself, you’ll be surprised how easy it is! My first time changing it, took a total of 3 minutes only.

BOSCH Carbon Cabin Air Filter: Your Pollution Defense System

Unlike standard filters, I’m recommending BOSCH Carbon Cabin Air Filter that has an advanced multi-layer filtration technology to keep the air within your car as clean as possible. It has an activated carbon filter which soaks up and captures :

• Ultra fine particles (PM2.5)
• Toxic Gases and Fumes
• Smoke particles
• Organic compounds

Malaysia Haze Season

During the hazy seasons, most people rush to buy all sorts of air purifier or ionizers and not change their car’s own filter. Don’t make the same mistake. BOSCH’s premium filter only costs less than RM50, and functions as an expensive air purifier (if you maintain it well).

It’s actually recommended that filters are also replaced depending on how heavy the pollution is in your drive. It’s a filter after all, much like a sponge, that blocks and absorbs the stuffs which you don’t want to breath in.

The Science Behind Carbon Filtration

Another benefit from the carbon filtration is that activated carbon works through absorbtion, instead of filtering. Molecules of the unwanted pollutants and trapped in the carbon’s intricate porous structure.

Carbon also works well in eliminating any unwanted odors. If you’re the type of person who sweats a lot, investing in a carbon filter would decrease the smell in your car by a lot.

Cost vs. Health: A Worthwhile Investment

Replacing your existing standard stock air filter to BOSCH’s Carbon Cabin Air filter costs a little under RM50 for most car models we have here in Malaysia, a small price for the benefits that you’ll be enjoying. There’s lots of potential respiratory health risks associated with prolonged exposure to harmful particles.
