vs
Cabin filter OEM Toyota or K&N
Reviews
Been using it for the past 10 years on my Toyota. You must wash it only one way. Cannot have the water flow through it both ways. Also there is a k&n spray (pink/hot red) that you spray on the filter again every time you wash it. To me it's worth it
Pros: worth it, long lasting
Cons: one way water flow
Vehicle:
Toyota
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
Where I live, my best choices are the Toyota discount charcoal cabin air filter at the parts counter for $44 CAD (#87139-YZZ93, YZZ means "value" or approved 3rd party rebranded as Toyota, only $4 more than aftermarket non-charcoal).
Pros: discount, charcoal
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Part number: 87139-YZZ93
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
Be wary of Amazon, I ordered genuine Toyota cabin and engine air filters two years in a row, the second year the filter was noticeably lighter, cheaper feeling. I suspect a counterfeit imitation that has only half the filter material
Pros: good quality, first year
Cons: lighter, cheaper, counterfeit
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
When I bought my 2005 Tundra I took it to Kendall Toyota for an inspection, they recommended a cabin air filter.
A 2005 Tundra doesn’t have a cabin air filter.
Cons: unnecessary recommendation
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
