KAX Engine & Cabin Air Filter Kit for Subaru CF12436/CA12295 — Activated Charcoal Cabin, Multi‑Layer Engine Filter

The KAX CF12436 CA12295 is a two-piece engine and cabin air filter kit designed to restore engine efficiency and improve in‑car air quality for compatible Subaru models.

This kit bundles an engine air filter and a cabin air filter made to fit select Subaru Outback, Crosstrek, Ascent, Impreza, and Legacy model years. The components use multi-layer filtration media and activated coconut-shell charcoal in the cabin filter to capture particles and reduce odors, while the engine filter helps protect intake systems from dust and debris. The set is sold together so both filters can be swapped at the same time, simplifying routine maintenance.

How will replacing both filters together help my Subaru?

Changing the engine and cabin filters at the same interval keeps both the vehicle's breathing systems operating properly. The engine filter protects the motor and fuel efficiency by trapping dust and particulates, while the cabin filter improves the air you and passengers breathe and reduces odors with activated charcoal.

• Engine filter: removes dust, pollen, and road grit from intake air
• Cabin charcoal layer: neutralizes common odors inside the vehicle
• Reduced strain on HVAC and engine components when both are fresh
• One purchase covers both filters for synchronized maintenance

Is installation difficult and how long does it take?

Installation is straightforward and designed for quick DIY replacement. Most owners can complete both swaps in about five minutes with common hand tools, or opt for a routine service visit if preferred.

• Simple, model-specific fit for hassle-free positioning
• No special tools required for typical filter access panels
• Clear replacement intervals recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles
