Cabin filter Bosch or Wix

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.)

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?

At 23k miles I figured a cheap fix would be the cabin filter. Swapped in a Wix WP10159 charcoal filter and the smell is gone.

Bought a Bosch cabin air filter for $13.39 and a Ecogard engine air filter for $13.52 from Amazon. Installed both today in less than 5 minutes. Super easy just check a YouTube video.

I use a charcoal Wix filter. It works really nice, even for filtering out smells a bit. And I drive a lot on dirt roads and it helps clean that up too.

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

I went with Wix. Works well.

The HVAC smelled really musty from sitting so long, so I replaced the cabin air filter with a new Wix one.
