The cabin air filter in the Subaru BRZ is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The specific replacement steps are as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat and remove all items inside; 2. Press the plastic clips on both the left and right sides inside the glove compartment to remove the plastic cover; 3. After removing the plastic cover, the cabin air filter will be visible; 4. Replace with a new cabin air filter and reassemble the glove compartment plastic cover in the reverse order of disassembly. The Subaru BRZ is a model under the Subaru brand, with dimensions of 4240 mm in length, 1775 mm in width, and 1285 mm in height. The vehicle features a more sporty exterior design and is equipped with 225/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport series tires, with a reinforced chassis.

I just changed the air filter on my Subaru BRZ myself—it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glovebox door and look inside. There are a few small clips or screws at the top. Press them gently or use a screwdriver to loosen them, and you can remove the entire compartment. Behind it is the filter housing with a small cover. Open it to pull out the old filter. Make sure to use the correct model, or it might not fit properly. Last time I changed mine, the filter was completely clogged with dust—no wonder the AC smelled musty! After replacing it, the air felt much fresher. I usually replace it every six months since city dust builds up fast, and with windows mostly closed, it’s crucial for clean air and health. Don’t procrastinate—doing it early saves repair costs, and mold growth would be a bigger headache.

Having driven a Subaru BRZ for many years, the cabin air filter location is quite fixed—it's under the dashboard in front of the passenger seat, behind the glove box. The steps are straightforward: first, open the glove box and locate the securing components, usually clips or screws, which can be gently released to remove the box. The filter cover is at the rear; open it to pull out the old filter. It's advisable to check if the filter is clogged with dust or damp with mold, replacing it promptly to prevent odors from spreading inside the car. I make it a habit to inspect every 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, especially during pollen season when more frequent checks are necessary. Opting for the OEM filter model is always the right choice, and when installing, avoid forcing it—just align it with the guides and slide it in effortlessly. DIY is simple and cost-effective, while a dealership visit might cost you more unnecessarily. Safety first—remember to test the air conditioning airflow after replacement.

Step 1: Remove the glove box by pressing the clips on both sides or unscrewing the fasteners to take it out. Behind it, you'll find the filter compartment cover; open it and pull out the old filter. Insert the new filter in the correct orientation, close the cover, and reinstall the glove box. The whole process requires only basic tools like a screwdriver and takes about ten minutes. Regularly changing the filter improves cabin air quality and prevents odors—just make sure to use the correct model. It’s a fun DIY task that saves money too.
