Cabin filter OEM Mazda or OEM FORD
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.
I think it was my 80s bronco, like changing a cabin air filter. Undo hoses in engine bay, open glove box, open a door and slide it out and slide the new 1 in, attach hoses, close it up. Did it in less than 10min.
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.
Bought a new set of tires, and a cabin filter. That's it.
Unexpectedly low maintenance costs (my cost just skyrocketed because I replaced my windshield wipers whereas to date in three years I'd only had to change the cabin air filter a few times).
The cabin filter isn't difficult on any year fusion. It takes me 10-15 minutes. The engine air filter is 2-3 minutes. You can buy the filters for $60 or less.
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.
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
Unnecessary. A few years ago a Mazda dealership suggested a bunch of work to me when I went in for an oil change, including some stuff I had done on my own literally a week before. I got a survey from Mazda and complained on it that they were suggesting bogus things that I know for a fact did not need to be done (e.g. they claimed my cabin air filter and engine air filter were dirty, despite being brand new).
