Why change your air filter?
You should change the cabin air filter of your 2007 Subaru Legacy for a few reasons:
- Better engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Prolonging the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for the passengers.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Subaru Legacy engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you frequently drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 2007 Subaru Legacy for off-roading, change your air filter more often.
It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, such as:
- Increased dust and debris inside the cabin
- Odd smells coming from the vents
- Reduced airflow from the vents
