Cabin filter OEM Honda or Wix

The cabin air filter is a multi-layer one that filters everything (dust, pollen, mold, odors) which can reduce air flow, but I really doubt anyone is struggling with air flow given how much air the blower moves on this vehicle.

I currently have the wix and it is working great for meZ

RockAuto even as a Canadian. 2025 Crosstrek cabin filters are $62 at the dealership. NAPA sells WIX filters for $40. RockAuto sells them for $13 CAD. Only issue is having to order a fair amount of stuff to offset shipping. But worth it.

Cabin air filter too.

I use wix from oreillys in all my hyundais....never had any isssues

For cabin filter, I personally recommend using a filter with a carbon layer to reduce smells. Fram, TYC, Hengst, Mann, and Wix all are good options.

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.

I prefer wix brand for cabin filters, Good quality at a reasonable price.

I ordered the WIX 24419 Cabin Air Filter.

One out of two times they gave me the wrong engine filter, even though they searched by VIN number. The second, and last time, I purchased from them, they sold me an aftermarket cabin filter for the same price as OEM.
