Protec 938 Cabin Air Filter
Protec Cabin Air Filter for Clean Interior Air
Protec Part Number 938 is a cabin air filter for passenger vehicles and light trucks that helps remove pollen, dust, soot, and other airborne contaminants from the air entering the cabin. It is built as a cabin air panel filter with particulate media for everyday driving conditions.
Compatible With 2004-2009 Kia Spectra, 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5, and 2009-2011 Kia Borrego applications, this filter supports routine cabin air service for drivers looking to maintain cleaner interior airflow. Protec 938 is also cross-referenced to Wix 49353 for the same application.

- Cabin air panel filter for HVAC filtration service
- Particulate media helps capture pollen, dust, soot, and other airborne contaminants

Detailed Product Overview
Protec 938 measures 9.409 inches in length, 8.268 inches in width, and 0.669 inches in height. The filter uses particulate media and is intended for standard cabin air filter replacement intervals. For Kia Spectra cabin air filter replacement, Kia Spectra5 cabin air filter service, and Kia Borrego cabin air filter maintenance, this part provides a direct-fit filtration option for the listed model years.
Use Protec 938 when replacing a worn cabin filter that no longer traps fine airborne debris effectively. The filter helps maintain cleaner air inside the vehicle HVAC system and supports normal interior air quality during daily driving.
What This Filter Helps Address
- Dust entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system
- Pollen buildup that can affect cabin air cleanliness
- Soot and road grime carried into the interior airflow
- Reduced airflow caused by a loaded cabin filter
- Odor intrusion from nearby traffic where cabin filtration is needed
Installation Notes and Tips
Replace the cabin air filter at the vehicle’s recommended service interval or sooner if airflow drops or the filter appears dirty. Confirm the vehicle application before ordering, since Protec 938 is listed for 2004-2009 Kia Spectra, 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5, and 2009-2011 Kia Borrego. Follow the vehicle service procedure for accessing the cabin filter housing.
