vs
Cabin filter K&N or OEM Nissan
Reviews
we have one. i just washed it. i use the dawn powerwash spray. first, tap against a hard object like the wall, to get out the big stuff, then spray, rinse. comes out nice and white/clean. then i hit it with my ryobi blower to push out all the excess water, and put it back. you might notice a slight increase in airflow thru the vents. i have been using the k&n cabin filters on several cars, they work well
Pros: easy to clean, increased airflow
So every car I get an in cabin K&N filter which is washable lifetime guaranteed as well as either a drop in intake filter or one for whatever aftermarket intake I go with. It will pay for itself in like two washes plus better gas mileage.
Pros: washable, lifetime guaranteed, better mileage
K&N washable cabin air filter $45 Had this one for like 6 years I believe. Just wash it, dry it and reinstall….again and again and again…
Pros: washable, reusable
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just swapped mine with a reusable K&N because I travel for work so much and it looked like this very quickly ????
Pros: reusable, good for travel
Cons: gets dirty quickly
I'm thinking of picking up a K&N washable cabin filter, actually 2 one to use right away and the other to use for backup, when the 1st one get super dirty...
Pros: washable, reusable
Cons: gets super dirty
I got a 2019 Nissan Versa Note and found one on Amazon for $15. I have a cabin filter that I am going to replace, I’ll Amit it is in an awkward place. YouTube is friend.
Pros: found on Amazon
Cons: awkward place
Vehicle:
Nissan Note
I really like my K&N reusable cabin filter. It's made very heavy duty.
Pros: heavy duty, reusable
I bought a second hand Leaf off a dealer a few years back and they called me up wanting to service it for ~$350 & I'd looked at the service schedule & seen it was due a cabin filter and washer fluid check, so I did that myself (tbf the air filter was pretty gross, but only cost me like $30 from SCA)
Pros: easy to replace, cheap
Cons: air filter was gross
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I have one. I clean it when it starts to smell. I just use simple green to clean it. Now, does it let more particles in that I breathe in? Probably, but no worse than breathing in the air outside. The worst cabin filter I used was the Bosch HEPA. Too restrictive and as soon as 12,000 miles hit, it was clogged and I was miserable for a few days in the summer heat
Pros: easy to clean
Cons: lets in more particles
Mileage: 12000 km
Bosch with charcoal, DO NOT USE KN CABIN FILTERS, you’ll be very unhappy with them. Tried them for 4 years, sure cleaning was easy, but they did not filter any orders, if anything they made them worse. Switched back to Bosch.
Pros: cleaning was easy
Cons: did not filter orders
