Cabin filter Bosch or K&N

I really like my K&N reusable cabin filter. It's made very heavy duty.

I have pollen allergies, so a good HEPA cabin air filter is a must. Cheap HEPA air filters restrict the airflow too much or don't work at all. I have been happy with Bosch.

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

The K & N ones are very nice quality and make sense if you are going to keep the car for many miles. Once you buy them you will look at it and think man all the other ones are bad quality.

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

The VF2074 fits just as well as the oem, you should be able to set it in the oem door / latch. I have it on mine with no issues.

I got a K&N washable filter. It’s got the wire mesh that keeps them out. Haven’t had any issues since installing it.

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.

I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.

Yay. For cost and availability

They are cheap compared to others. K&N’s does not clean as well as I want it to and the HKS filters are super hard to come across (charcoal nano micro fiber????)
