Cabin filter Fram or K&N

The Genesis OE filter is $75!! The Fram Fresh Breeze filter is $25 or less; it combines activated charcoal with baking soda to reduce HVAC odor. I've used them in all my vehicles since Fram introduced the Fresh Breeze filter line and found them remarkably effective.

I did the air box filter and cabin filter myself (Fram stuff).

So every car I get an in cabin K&N filter which is washable lifetime guaranteed as well as either a drop in intake filter or one for whatever aftermarket intake I go with. It will pay for itself in like two washes plus better gas mileage.

K&N washable cabin air filter $45 Had this one for like 6 years I believe. Just wash it, dry it and reinstall….again and again and again…

Just swapped mine with a reusable K&N because I travel for work so much and it looked like this very quickly ????

I'm thinking of picking up a K&N washable cabin filter, actually 2 one to use right away and the other to use for backup, when the 1st one get super dirty...

When I replaced my own I typically used Fram Fresh Breeze air filters with carbon. It made my car smell good more than anything.

I have one. I clean it when it starts to smell. I just use simple green to clean it. Now, does it let more particles in that I breathe in? Probably, but no worse than breathing in the air outside. The worst cabin filter I used was the Bosch HEPA. Too restrictive and as soon as 12,000 miles hit, it was clogged and I was miserable for a few days in the summer heat

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????)

You don't need to buy OEM - *especially* for a cabin air filter - but you could save some money by finding a good source of Bosch or Wix filters. Never Fram, ever.
