MAHLE LAK171 Activated Carbon Cabin Air Filter

The MAHLE LAK171 is an activated carbon cabin air filter, also known as a cabin filter or pollen filter, engineered to OEM specifications to deliver clean, fresh air to your vehicle's interior. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it installs in your car's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to protect occupants from airborne contaminants.

Key Features:

• Activated Carbon Filtration: Multi-layer construction with an activated carbon layer sandwiched between non-woven media to capture harmful exhaust fumes, odors, and gaseous pollutants including NOx, ozone, and SO2
• OEM-Grade Construction: Designed to vehicle manufacturer specifications for a precise, bypass-free fit within the filter housing
• Superior Pleated Media: Embossed and pleated filter media provides high dirt-holding capacity while maintaining low pressure drop to reduce strain on the blower motor
• Broad Particle Filtration: Blocks dust, pollen, soot, fine particulates, tire debris, and brake dust before they enter the passenger compartment
• Protects HVAC System: Shields your heating and air conditioning components from contamination, helping to extend system life and maintain efficient airflow
• Solvent-Free Manufacturing: Produced using ultrasound welding technology — no harmful solvent-based adhesives used

MAHLE recommends replacing your cabin air filter approximately every 15,000 miles or at least once per year to maintain optimal air quality. A clogged cabin filter can cause interior pollutant levels to reach up to six times the concentration of outside air. The MAHLE LAK171 is a straightforward, high-quality replacement that keeps occupants breathing cleaner air on every drive.
