Cabin filter OEM Honda or OEM Toyota

My first Honda I had serviced 1 time at the dealership. $150 for cabin air filter. YouTube video. 2 minutes later changed.

I have a Honda Jazz/Fit ss a runabout. At about 5 years old it started fogging, despite having clumate control always on.

I found that the cabin air filter was filthy. ( despite it supposedly being changed at dealer services)

I changed the filter in minutes, having bought one on Amazon.

Problem solved.

I just did both on my 2005 corolla last week and it was $42 for both parts and 15 minutes of my time. Wpuld jave been $196 at budget near me.

Cabin air filter too.

Where I live, my best choices are the Toyota discount charcoal cabin air filter at the parts counter for $44 CAD (#87139-YZZ93, YZZ means "value" or approved 3rd party rebranded as Toyota, only $4 more than aftermarket non-charcoal).

i finally got around to doing the cabin filter in my old beater accord... i seriously doubt it was ever changed after it rolled off the line 22 years ago. it was basically black, and it wasnt a charcoal filter lol. a bunch of ripped insulation on top, so one of the previous 13 owners had some mice in their garage. it made a total night and day difference in airflow and temperature, i think the fan dial has 8 stops and the 2nd one feels like what it was on max before. cranking it now feels like a wind tunnel in comparison, and the ac gets way colder now.

If you’re going to stock up on cabin filters for the future, get them at Honda dealership parts department. Those filters will fit better then most aftermarket filters

Be wary of Amazon, I ordered genuine Toyota cabin and engine air filters two years in a row, the second year the filter was noticeably lighter, cheaper feeling. I suspect a counterfeit imitation that has only half the filter material

I had them do a standard service on my Tacoma once. Oil, filters, etc. Next time around I had them give me a quote for a 150k mile service...and it was almost insulting. Got everything to do it myself for a fraction of the parts cost and when I went to replace my cabin air filter it was very clearly about 5 years old.

When I bought my 2005 Tundra I took it to Kendall Toyota for an inspection, they recommended a cabin air filter.

A 2005 Tundra doesn’t have a cabin air filter.
