Cabin filter OEM Mazda or Wix

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

Pulled the cabin filter on my ‘23 Select . It 11 months old and I decided to replace it with a Wix filter. Unbelievable the amount of debris I have collected in 7900 miles of use.

I'm a WIX filter fan myself (though virtually anything that fits properly will be effective). If it were up to me, I'd go with a WIX WP10320. Rock Auto (.com) has them for $15 (+ shipping). They aren't charcoal, but electrostatic which is a bit fancier.

I use WIX for every car I've owned for the past 10 years. Good quality, and not overly expensive

Cabin air filter - I believe that’s recommended every 12k miles or so. I always replace mine annually. Part number KD45-61-J6X-9U.

I've purchased these and they fit well. Much cheaper than letting the dealer do it.

At 23k miles I figured a cheap fix would be the cabin filter. Swapped in a Wix WP10159 charcoal filter and the smell is gone.

When I started dating my wife, I found out she was on the original cabin air filter in her car. Surprisingly the cabin air filter was relatively clean and looked nothing like the picture posted.

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.

Cabin air filter, first gen Mazda 3. Getting to the filter is a pain.
