Owner reviews for cabin filter

I got the Bosch one on Amazon, it claims to be HEPA. Not sure about that but Bosch tends to make quality products

I changed cabin air filter on my Model S few weeks ago after 70k km and to my surprise it was clean like it was there for only a month.

I have just replaced the cabin air filter in 2025 FW and was really surprised as how thin the filter was. In a couple of places I could see through it. I went to AutoZone and got a $25 filter from STP which looked much more solid than the original OEM.

The cabin filter isn't difficult on any year fusion. It takes me 10-15 minutes. The engine air filter is 2-3 minutes. You can buy the filters for $60 or less.

The cabin air filter is a multi-layer one that filters everything (dust, pollen, mold, odors) which can reduce air flow, but I really doubt anyone is struggling with air flow given how much air the blower moves on this vehicle.

I personally buy it direct from the dealer, it is $45, but fits perfectly

Besides the need for washing and re-conditioning, these filters also have the drawback that they were originally designed for increased airflow to the engine. For one, we don't have an engine to begin with. What we need is good cabin air. In this sense, the increased airflow is counterproductive as it lets more "stuff" through than regular filters. If you want the best cabin air, I would recommend a carbon-coated cabin filter. I have been using and have had no issues with air restriction, and I believe the air is better air compared with the other two vehicles in our family (but they are ICE vehicles, so who knows).

I just replaced the cabin air filter on my 2005 Outback, and I’m pretty sure it still had the original filter from 20 years ago. It was a bit of a job to get to it (remove some trim and the glove box).

After having a fram cabin air filter in my dad's frontier reduce the airflow out of the vents by a good 15%-20% you guessed it... dealership

They broke my damper on the glove box after being forced on a cabin filter change( that they charge $60 btw). Now I change the engine and cabin filter on my own.
