MAHLE LA 173/S Cabin Air Filter Paper Element Pair

The MAHLE LA 173/S is a paper-type cabin air filter element designed to deliver clean, filtered air to your vehicle's interior. Sold as a pair, these white paper filter elements capture airborne contaminants including dirt, pollen, and other pollutants that enter through the heating, air conditioning, and defrosting systems.

Key Features:

• Superior embossed and pleated filter media for high dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop
• Premium sealing technology ensures leak-free assembly and operation throughout the filter's lifetime
• Original Equipment design, materials, and performance specifications
• Paper filter media for effective particulate filtration
• Reduces load on the blower motor and protects HVAC components from contamination
• Improves air circulation and helps prevent dangerous window fogging

Replacement Interval:

MAHLE recommends replacing cabin air filters every 15,000 to 30,000 miles for dust-type filters, or at least once per year. Regular replacement ensures optimal air quality, as a clogged or failed cabin air filter can cause pollutant concentration inside the vehicle to increase up to six times that of outside air.
