Cabin filter OEM Mazda or Bosch
I switched to a Mazda 3 as a daily but I loved the CX-50, CX-5, and no doubt in my mind the Mazda 6 holds its place.\n\nThe layout under the hood was similar to my 13' fusion. Changing oil was easier, engine air filter was easier, cabin air filter was easier.
I have 3 Hondas that use the same cabin filters. Costs me $33 to get Bosch filters.
I do them every 6 months.
Bosch is superior:
Cabin air filters are dirt cheap and easy to swap yourself, but people forget about them and shops love to charge stupid amounts of money to replace them for you.
Filtro de cabine com carv\u00e3o ativado: 45,00 (pegue o com carv\u00e3o ativado, vale muito a pena, n\u00e3o d\u00e1 cheiro no AC).
The cabin air filter is one of the easiest I have ever replaced, you don't have to pull the whole glove box out in order to get to it.
Those prices are for genuine filters. Mazda chamrge an effing BOMB for their carbon cabin filters.
ABS or TPU? Im thinking about making somthing similar for my ND2.
Given that they're charging $95 for a cabin air filter, it's highly likely that they're overpriced.
On certain mazdas (like my 2006, 2008.5 Mazda3, and 2015 Mazda5) it's NOT a 2 min job. It requires 2-3 hr yoga session to warm up to prep for the job, then another 2hrs trying to get in the right position as to not cramp up while trying to position 2 filters on top of each other in a space that only small children hands can access
