Preferred cabin air filter

When I bought my '14 in Sept '17 I replaced to dirty cabin filter

with an EPAuto CP374.....now 2 yrs and only 15K miles later I

again replaced it with a Denso brand.....the Denso was flimsey & wimpy

looking compared to the EPAuto brand...thought the Denso may be an improvement

Your thoughts ? All cabin filters created equal ? Prob my last Denso cabin filter

 

Last time I placed an order with Rock Auto I added like half a dozen cheap TYC filters; change out as needed and toss the old one in the trash. The '05s didn't even come with them, I mainly keep one in there to keep the trash out of the blower.

 

I get them from Amazon. I think it is the tyc or whatever brand.

Biggest insult is when I see people get played and pay $60 at the service department.

 

I like the Fram Fresh Breeze.

I get 'em from Amazon........like most of my stuff.........

 

This. They seems to hold up well, plus the activated charcoal seems to cut down on some of the funk

 

From my experience most Toyota's use the same cabin filter. have tired a lot of different ones, nothing comes close to the MANN FILTER FP-1919. Their is a reason they are the OEM manufacturer for the majority of European brands.

60 is a good deal! Toyota dealer in Indy quoted me $74 for my cabin filter that 'needed replacement' a mere 6 months after I last replaced it. Every other oil change includes rotation, air and cabin filter. In my own garage. I use the EPAuto as well.

mind you, I had it in there for a frame inspection....

 

I use the Fram, they are cheap at Walmart and work very well.

 

Has anyone tried this one?

 

looks like carbon/charcoal activated

Will it be hazardous to your breathing ?

looks the same as EPAuto........

but 3 bucks more......

 

Really though.........

how fuggin critical is this filter ?

 

i just put in a bosch hepa cabin air filter. my only worry is that it is too restrictive and could overstress the blower. guess ill find out!

 

For my next one, I will try and find one that's flimsy. I put one of the more restrictive ones in last time and I think it cuts down air flow too much. They just need to keep crap out of the blower.
I personally think the less restrictive, flimsy ones are better as long as they'll keep the chunks out of the system.

 

Depend how much dust you like to breath in.

 

While it does filter out dust, I think it's more about saving your blower motor.

 

x2. They seem as well made as another that I had years ago, but I have forgotten what that brand was.

 

That's what I use. I don't see a reason to buy an expensive filter when the doors open constantly, there's a vent in the back and I ride with the windows open whenever the temp/weather cooperates.

 

Just put a K&N in.
