How to Change Cabin Air Filter for 2005 Toyota Corolla
The job of your cabin air filter is to filter the outside air before letting it go into the car. Theoretically you should change it every 12000 mile or 1 year. Practically, you should change it if you smell something weird when the A/C is on.
If you do this service in dealer, they will charge you around $70 (my dealer just offered me this "deal" yesterday). Don't let them rip you off, because the filter itself cost less than $20, and the changing process will only take you a couple minutes.
