Cabin filter Mann or Fram

In addition, replaced air filter and cabin filter with Mann products at approx. 10,000 miles.

Mann carbon activated filter is the best OEM

I do mine every time i do my oil, I buy Mann carbon impregnated ones

I just buy the MANN filter at o reileys and change it myself.

I removed the factory interior filter as well and installed a Mann Frecious Plus filter instead.

Thanks! I wondered if this worth a try. I installed mann fp 25 015 filters before this summer and they are great

FRAM TrueAir for me - smelled much fresher in the cabin for a little while, but nothing spectacular...

Otherwise, the Fram cabin filters are fine, too.

Now, I just replaced the cabin filter on my (new to me) 2021 Kia Soul for the second time in 9 months and the new one which is a Fram, smells so musty and stale when it’s on recirculate, I might just replace it with another one to see if it makes a difference. It literally smells like stale moth balls. If I take the filter out and run it, smell goes away.

Has anyone experienced or heard of a cabin air filter being damaged by heat? At first I thought it was rodent damage or mold, but those little white balls resembled burnt plastic. I took a lighter and burnt another section of the filter and it made the exact same damage.
