Key Features
-
Activated Carbon Technology: Carbon-impregnated filtration media neutralizes diesel exhaust odors, VOCs, and urban pollutants that standard paper filters cannot trap — a noticeable upgrade for daily commuters and rideshare drivers.
-
Exact OEM Fit: Precision-cut to 9.5" x 1.38" x 8" for seamless installation in Cascada, Cruze, and SRX models. No modifications, no air bypass.
-
High-Density Pleat Design: Increased filtration surface area compared to economy filters — captures more debris between replacements while maintaining strong HVAC airflow.
-
IATF 16949 Certified Manufacturing: Consistent quality control across every production batch — meet or exceed OEM specifications for filtration efficiency and structural integrity.
-
Recommended 12,000-Mile Replacement: Replace annually for best results. Easy DIY access — typically located behind the glove box with no tools required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this fit my 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4L Turbo?
A: Yes. This filter is a direct fit for 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze with the 1.4L turbocharged engine. It replaces the factory cabin filter behind the glove box.
Q: What's the difference between activated carbon and standard cabin filters?
A: Standard filters trap particulates only (dust, pollen). Activated carbon filters add a carbon layer that adsorbs gases — this means fewer exhaust fumes, less road odor, and fresher-smelling cabin air, especially in city traffic.
Q: Will this fit the Cadillac SRX?
A: Yes — fits 2012-2016 Cadillac SRX with the 3.6L V6 engine. Direct replacement for OEM part 13271190.
Q: How do I know when to replace the cabin filter?
A: Signs include reduced airflow from vents, persistent musty smell when A/C is on, increased window fogging, and visible debris on the old filter. We recommend replacing every 12,000 miles or 12 months.
Q: Is installation difficult on a Cruze?
A: No — it's one of the easiest DIY maintenance items. The Cruze cabin filter is behind the glove box. Open the glove box, release the dampener arm, push in the side tabs to drop it down, and the filter tray is right there. Takes under 5 minutes with no tools.
