The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cabin air filter part number in this 2020 Wrangler was a Mopar 68301863 (also known as 68301863AA or Mann-Filter CU 24 019).

A few compatible replacement aftermarket filters with their part numbers are as follows: Fram CF12450, Omix-Ada 17719.27, Hastings PA10396, Fun-Driving FD450, TYC 800231P, Champion Labs / Luber Finer CAF10022P.

No tools are required to access and replace the cabin air filter.

The first two steps are to open the glove box and empty out the contents.

Pull the bottom of the damper arm back towards yourself to move the mounting button from the smaller hole to the larger opening.

Detach the damper arm from the side of the glove box.

Locate the large plastic retaining top at the rear top edge of the glove box.

Gently lower the glove box down to the floor mat.

Set the glove box aside in a safe place.

Make sure the damper arm is out of the way.

There are two release tabs on the left side of the filter cover.

Pinch together the two release tabs before pulling open the left side of the filter cover.

Set the filter cover aside in a safe place.

Keep the old filter level to avoid dropping large debris on to the interior of your vehicle.

If the old filter is dark grey or black and clogged with dirt, dust, debris, soot, pollen, hair, insects, sand and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element.

If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a shop vacuum.

Check the filter slot for any large debris such as leaves or dragonflies.

Use the crevice attachment of your shop vacuum to clean out any large debris in the slot.

Slide the new filter straight into the slot.

First, reinsert the tab on the right side of the filter cover into its corresponding slot.

You should feel or hear the retaining clips "click" securely into place.

Push the plastic hinges at the bottom of the glove box back over the mounting bars.

You may need to use a bit more force to pop the black plastic tab past the retaining piece at the top of the glove box.

Move the damper arm into place on the left side of the glove box.

Insert the mounting button into the larger hole.

You should feel or hear the mounting button "click" securely into place.

Replace the contents of the glove box and close it to complete the job.

According to the maintenance schedule in the JL 2020 Jeep Wrangler owner's manual, the cabin air filter should be changed every 20,000 miles or at least every two years.

Be sure to write down the filter change in your vehicle's service records.
