The biggest advantage with the activated type is that it picks up odours so you smell less of the fumes from outside
If you don't care about those just get the OE
Has anyone bought k&n cabin air filter. Wonder how well they work
2023 Badlands and I love it…. Currently at 22k and just replaced the air and cabin filters with K&N it was fun ????
What car do you have? I used to drive a Ford C-Max and getting to the cabin air filter was insanely hard.
I got K&N cabin air filter and I'm so happy with it. This is reusable, washable and lasts easy for 80k miles
I've found K&N cabin filters are great as for the rest you need to run quality, especially your air filter since there are several bulletins about them and they changed the part because of P0299 popping up a lot.
I found the cabin air filter that came from the factory to be pretty basic and low quality. When I replaced it with a better one I instantly stopped smelling the wiper fluid/other cars exhausts.
Ford Fusion is almost this with labor. You have to take a ton of trim and bolts off. Even take out the glove box.
Change your cabin air filter for the bad smell. Could be clogged as well causing less air flow.
I’ve changed the cabin air filter probably 4 times now, used a foam evap coil cleaner twice, ran Lysol thru the cowl multiple times, did a descent bomb in the car. At absolute best, this lasts for a couple weeks and then back to this gross mildew smell coming from vents.
