What is a cabin air filter? We all know that an air filter keeps dirt and grit from entering the engine, but what about the for air entering the inside of the car when you use your fan or a/c? The cabin air filter is similar to an engine's air filter in that by design it is to keep pollutants and pollen from entering the cabin while driving.

Random Wrench Tip #1: Making tape sticky again
Here's a tip you can try if you have some old duct tape or masking tape lying around that has lost its stickiness. Put the tape in your microwave for a few seconds, usually around 5-10. This will allow your tape to regain some of its stickiness and you will be able to use it again.
Another thing you can do is wrap some of the tape on a slightly rounded bolt to allow your wrench or socket to have more torque. It might just be enough to help you get that bolt loose.
