Subaru WRX STI Cabin Filter Replacement Malaysia
The cabin air filter on the WRX STI keeps the interior air clean and maintains aircon efficiency. In Malaysia's dusty urban environment, replace it every 15,000–20,000 km or annually. A clogged cabin filter reduces aircon airflow noticeably. Replacement is straightforward — located behind the glove box — and should be part of every scheduled service.
