Cabin filter Bosch or Fram

I got a Bosch air filter for the cabin just 2 weeks ago from Amazon. It works well. Installation was like 30 seconds.

Just get a multi layered, charcoal infused filter for cleaner air inside the cabin. Fram makes a good example and it's available at all Walmarts.

I bought a Fram/Arm & Hammer cabin filter from Walmart for about $20

OEM engine and Bosch HEPA for cabin as this will be transporting my kids around and only the best for them.

There's no point in getting an aftermarket engine filter, just get OEM and don't worry about it any further. In all likelihood, Wix or Purolator make okay substitutes, but they're no better and not really cheaper. K&N is going to do a bad job of actual filtration and just get oil up in places you don't want it; they're garbage so at the very least don't get one of those. Stick with OEM.

The "best" cabin filter depends on whether you want any specific features like carbon granules or HEPA filtration. I do want HEPA filtration, so I use the Bosch 6092C cabin filter, but it does have the downside of reducing airflow somewhat (and of course you'll probably need to change it more often.

Replaced cabin air filter with high efficiency particulate-air (HEPA), Bosch 6037C. (The Bosch and Amazon websites only say it fits the 2020 model year, but it was fine.)

I’ve had good results with FRAM fresh breeze cabin air filters. They block out quite a bit of exterior smells.

This is my Cabin air filter after 14k miles and 1.3 years. (Supposed to change at 12k miles according to BOSH, so I'm not TOO far past the schedule, but you can see that it is working at filtering stuff out of the air and a change is needed...) I'm using the upgraded Bosch Automotive 6078 HEPA Cabin Air Filter for $11 from Amazon because I have seasonal allergies and want the extra HEPA filtering, an OEM filter may not pick up as much stuff / may last longer?

Go to Part Source. Take your filter in and see if it matches the CF11819 FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter for $30 dollars. Note, some of the filters on Amazon do not have the same amount of pleats as the OEM or the FRAM.

I would not use the Bosch one again. 1) It has a chemical smell out of the box that needs time to dissipate 2) it restricts airflow... that's how it's a HEPA filter 3) Bosch isn't kidding about its replacement interval, when it gets plugged up (and it's fast) you get no airflow.
