Cabin filter Wix or OEM FORD

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

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.

I use a charcoal Wix filter. It works really nice, even for filtering out smells a bit. And I drive a lot on dirt roads and it helps clean that up too.

As for the cabin air filter. I usually go with WIX.

I went with Wix. Works well.

The HVAC smelled really musty from sitting so long, so I replaced the cabin air filter with a new Wix one.
