2008 Toyota Prius Cabin Filter Replacement

Introduction

In this guide, I will show you how to replace a cabin filter in a 2008 Prius. I am deciding on this topic because this type of car maintenance is often overlooked when it is essential. Just like your house needs the air filter changed, and your car needs the cabin filter to be changed over time, a bad or dirty filter will release foul air in your vehicle with air pathogens that you will breathe in and can make you sick. Overall I want to show people how easy changing a cabin filter can be.
