Reviews of Fram cabin filter

I can\u2019t smell the windshield wiper fluid since I switched to a Fram filter with charcoal in it.

I use Fram FreshBreeze, usually buy on eBay. Bought once on Amazon, it was a knockoff in Fram packaging. I wouldn’t use it.

I’d just get the standard FRAM, WIX, or so on if you wanted better airflow. If you don’t have bad allergies I’d just get regular since the benefit isn’t really noticeable otherwise, and then you get worse airflow.

After having a fram cabin air filter in my dad's frontier reduce the airflow out of the vents by a good 15%-20% you guessed it... dealership

FRAM TrueAir for me - smelled much fresher in the cabin for a little while, but nothing spectacular...

Now, I just replaced the cabin filter on my (new to me) 2021 Kia Soul for the second time in 9 months and the new one which is a Fram, smells so musty and stale when it’s on recirculate, I might just replace it with another one to see if it makes a difference. It literally smells like stale moth balls. If I take the filter out and run it, smell goes away.

The Genesis OE filter is $75!! The Fram Fresh Breeze filter is $25 or less; it combines activated charcoal with baking soda to reduce HVAC odor. I've used them in all my vehicles since Fram introduced the Fresh Breeze filter line and found them remarkably effective.

I did the air box filter and cabin filter myself (Fram stuff).

IMO, don't get the really thick ones with carbon (like Fram FreshBreeze) - they restrict airflow and can cause the resistor and motor to overheat (essentially it's like a clogged/dirty filter)

When I replaced my own I typically used Fram Fresh Breeze air filters with carbon. It made my car smell good more than anything.
