Cabin filter K&N or OEM FORD

To make things easier, I put a K & N cabin filter in so I don’t have to replace it every year. I need to clean it as it’s due.

I put a K&N cabin filter and it's been going strong, wash it out and dry, goes back in and still smells fresh.

I bought a K&N cabin air filter. I wash it in my bath tub. Dry it. Take some spray oil I made myself with essential scented oils, rubbing alcohol, and glycerine. Spray it on. Let it sit for 5 minutes in the sun. Pop right in. Completely fine.

Lightning here, so far just rotating tires and a new cabin filter.

Cabin air filter on the 2022.

I've changed the cabin air filter twice, rotated the tires three times (should have done that more often in hindsight), and I've replaced all the wiper blades.

I’ve had the cabin air filter replaced once.

just went to autozone and forked out for the K&N, and holy shit it was worth it. Like night and day on the airflow. I can actually feel it on my face now, lol.

Besides the need for washing and re-conditioning, these filters also have the drawback that they were originally designed for increased airflow to the engine. For one, we don't have an engine to begin with. What we need is good cabin air. In this sense, the increased airflow is counterproductive as it lets more "stuff" through than regular filters. If you want the best cabin air, I would recommend a carbon-coated cabin filter. I have been using and have had no issues with air restriction, and I believe the air is better air compared with the other two vehicles in our family (but they are ICE vehicles, so who knows).

Bosch with charcoal, DO NOT USE KN CABIN FILTERS, you’ll be very unhappy with them. Tried them for 4 years, sure cleaning was easy, but they did not filter any orders, if anything they made them worse. Switched back to Bosch.
