Replacing the air conditioning filter for a Mazda is actually quite simple to do yourself. My own car is a CX-5, and I change it every year to prevent strange odors. Usually, the filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove box and press down firmly on the clips or fasteners on both sides to allow the glove box to drop down completely. Then, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover. Gently pry open the cover with a flathead screwdriver, and you'll see the old filter. Pull it out directly, remembering the direction. The arrow on the new filter should point toward the interior when inserting it back. Then, close the cover and reinstall the glove box. The whole process takes about ten minutes. Don’t use too much force to avoid damaging any parts. It’s recommended to buy an OEM filter for better filtration and anti-haze effects. Make sure to purchase the correct filter model for your car in advance. Searching for 'Mazda air conditioning filter' on Taobao makes it easy to find.
