Owner reviews for cabin filter

In contract, I just bought a Mann filter for the cabin - and yes I know the difference between the engine and cabin filter - but the Mann did not have any such warning.

A recent update fixed the issue with mine. I didn't smell it anymore for the last few weeks. I still had an appt with mobile service to replace my filters and they cleaned the evap core for free (paid for the filters) as well. Still no smell.

Replaced the filters myself (got them from the SC, $17 each, you need two). Still had the smell, took it in for other issues, and they comped the Kool it portion because I already changed the filters.

I couldn’t find a similar sized non-OEM filter, so I went OEM there too. But also, before you buy the cabin filter, try vacuuming the one that is in there. If you can get it pretty clean then don’t worry about a new one for another few thousand miles.

As for the cabin air filter. I usually go with WIX.

Engine/Cabin filter; DIY with mann filters, should be like $50 for both

I went with the Mann filter to get Polyphenol for mold and bacteria protection along with the carbon.

This Mann cabin air filter is probably the best one I’ve ever used. I could be behind a diesel truck and smell nothing but clean air.

I thought the real issue was the fact that the Atlas cabin filter is just paper, whereas they used to use carbon filter in other, older models. Thus, all outside smells can easily be entered into the cabin.

Thanks for that, the last two times I had the stupid Stealership replace my cabin air filter, one guy managed to install it upside down, rotated 90 degrees and left the door loose; it was winter and that cold air blowing on my nether-regions was most uncomfortable.
