Take it to a Toyota dealership and change your own cabin filter (it's the easiest thing to do)
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
What car do you have? I used to drive a Ford C-Max and getting to the cabin air filter was insanely hard.
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.
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.
Ford Fusion is almost this with labor. You have to take a ton of trim and bolts off. Even take out the glove box.
Change your cabin air filter for the bad smell. Could be clogged as well causing less air flow.
This happened to us with 2023 sienna after a dealers oil change !!! It turns out that they didn't close air intake filter cabin correctly. We were drive up to Canada at the time. We had to stop time to time to stop the warning. Check the air filter cabin and make sure it secure.
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.
And somehow its 50 to 70 bucks or whatever to change the cabin filter but they already took it out to show me and they put it back.... which is why I change oil myself....
