Rating 5.0

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

It is not a 30 second procedure like my Honda's, but is still easy and should not take more than 5 minutes

Pros: easy, quick procedure

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

There’s a 3rd party cabin filter with a carbon layer on Amazon that is significantly better than the ford cabin filter. I haven’t noticed anything since installing it.

Pros: significantly better

The why shupack answered, the fix if you care could be to try a third party cabin air filter. If there are any out there with a larger amount of carbon in them (carbon absorbs odor) that'd help. Replacing the cabin air filter behind the glove box is fairly easy to do and several YouTube videos on it. Cheaper than having the dealer do it, and 3rd party filters claim to be better. We did notice less smoke smell from the wildfires last summer when I swapped out from OEM to whatever filter I put in.

Pros: less smoke smell

Cons: basic low quality

Ford Fusion is almost this with labor. You have to take a ton of trim and bolts off. Even take out the glove box.

Pros: requires removing trim

Cons: difficult with labor

Vehicle: Ford Fusion

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
