Cabin filter Wix or K&N

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

The K & N ones are very nice quality and make sense if you are going to keep the car for many miles. Once you buy them you will look at it and think man all the other ones are bad quality.

The VF2074 fits just as well as the oem, you should be able to set it in the oem door / latch. I have it on mine with no issues.

I got a K&N washable filter. It’s got the wire mesh that keeps them out. Haven’t had any issues since installing it.

I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.

Go for the K&N cabin filter and you'll never go back to those paper ones.

K&N cabin filter benefits:

* Reusable and washable.

* The static charge on the filter captures way more dust, germs, and bacteria.

* You can breathe better and less dust that makes it through your car vents.

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.

Yay. For cost and availability

They are cheap compared to others. K&N’s does not clean as well as I want it to and the HKS filters are super hard to come across (charcoal nano micro fiber????)

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.
