I've been driving a Buick Enclave for over a decade, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is quite easy to locate. Replacing it isn't complicated either: first, open the glove compartment door on the passenger side to its maximum angle. Inside, you'll see two small clips or stoppers—just press them gently to fully lower or remove the glove compartment, revealing the filter housing. Pull out the old filter, replace it with a new one, making sure the arrow points in the direction of airflow, then lock it back in place. Remember to change it every 6 months or every 10,000 kilometers, especially in dusty cities or during seasonal transitions, to reduce dust and bacteria buildup and extend the AC system's lifespan. I check mine weekly—it saves money and gives peace of mind. Buying compatible filters online costs half the price of OEM ones.
