Cabin filter K&N or OEM FORD

OEM FORD Cabin filter

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

Pros: picks up odours
Vehicle: Ford

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.

Pros: K&N cabin filters are great

OEM FORD Cabin filter

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.

Pros: stopped smelling exhausts
Cons: basic and low quality

OEM FORD Cabin filter

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.

Cons: gross mildew smell
Vehicle: Ford
