Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the BFC1186, locate your vehicle’s cabin air filter housing, which is typically found behind the glove compartment or under the cowl at the base of the windshield. Once accessed, remove the old filter, clean any debris from the housing tray, and insert the new BFC1186, ensuring the orientation arrows match the airflow direction. It is recommended to inspect the filter every 6 months or 7,500 miles, and replace it annually or according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule. Avoid using compressed air to clean this filter, as it can damage the internal media structure and reduce filtering effectiveness.
