I drove a bolt for 3 years and the only maintenance it needed was a cabin air filter.
Owner reviews for cabin filter
I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.
Replaced cabin air filter with high efficiency particulate-air (HEPA), Bosch 6037C. (The Bosch and Amazon websites only say it fits the 2020 model year, but it was fine.)
Same issue in my 2019 M3. Replace the cabin air filter. Solved.
Just picked up our second Model Y, had our first one for over a year and 20k+ miles and the only things it needed was tires (put new wheels and tires on), and cabin air filters change (took about 15 minute in my driveway).
I’ve had good results with FRAM fresh breeze cabin air filters. They block out quite a bit of exterior smells.
This is my Cabin air filter after 14k miles and 1.3 years. (Supposed to change at 12k miles according to BOSH, so I'm not TOO far past the schedule, but you can see that it is working at filtering stuff out of the air and a change is needed...) I'm using the upgraded Bosch Automotive 6078 HEPA Cabin Air Filter for $11 from Amazon because I have seasonal allergies and want the extra HEPA filtering, an OEM filter may not pick up as much stuff / may last longer?
I buy TYC cabin filters on Amazon. Seem to work fine.
Not nearly as bad as some of the others listed here, but absurd for what it is: cabin air filter for a first-gen Mazda3.
I would not use the Bosch one again. 1) It has a chemical smell out of the box that needs time to dissipate 2) it restricts airflow... that's how it's a HEPA filter 3) Bosch isn't kidding about its replacement interval, when it gets plugged up (and it's fast) you get no airflow.
