I own a 2012 Mazda 3 SkyActive, base on manual they recommended to change Cabin Air Filter for ever 24 months or 48,000 km or 30,000 miles
I got a quote from my dealer, it cost $150 (Include service, Part) before Tax.
I was like "How hard could it be to just change a filter". So I check online for some tip and instruction from youtube.
I found local Auto Parts store, the filter itself cost $39.19 before tax. They said it is a premium one.
If you want cheaper, you can find it in ebay, cost around $15.
I also change my wife's Toyota Corolla cabin air filter. It is even easier, the filter is behind the passenger compartment, and you don't any screw driver.
