Start with the model year, make, model and engine or powertrain. Use the filter maker’s catalog for an aftermarket part, or ask the vehicle maker’s parts desk for the original part number.
Match the application and the part number
- Enter the exact vehicle in the catalog. Select Cabin Air Filter and read any engine or application notes on the result.
- Record the manufacturer and complete part number, including any suffix. If several results differ by an option you cannot identify, ask the vehicle maker’s parts desk to check the VIN privately.
- Compare the number you recorded with the number in the listing’s specifications or on the box. If the catalog shows no application, leave fit unresolved until the maker confirms it.
An old filter’s label is a reference you can bring to the parts desk. Verify it against the catalog, since a previous replacement may have been incorrect.
Check the service schedule separately
Use the maintenance schedule and replacement procedure for your exact vehicle. The procedure is also where to check the filter’s location and how it should be oriented.
