FRAM CF11178 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter with Arm & Hammer

Perhaps sometimes some maybe don't realize like my 2011 Sonata.There is a cabin air filter behind the glove box.It's actually a very easy thing to change yourself.The cost here to buy one is much less then stores.Once you open your glove box.My 2011 Sonata for instance.There are hooks like on each side that hold the glovebox lid open.Just remove them from the lid.It will drop down & then reach inside the glovebox area and unscrew 2 plastic like screws,the glovebox will drop down.Then inside the filter just slides out to remove old dirty one.They really should be changed 3 times a year,with the lower cost purchased here its a good idea to do so.When the old filter is pulled out you will see dirt & leaves that got sucked up into that area.Then slide in the new clean filter following the same way the old one came out.This can be done once use to in 10 minutes time.The dealers will charge $70 to do this,such a waste of spent money when its very much a "Do It Yourself Project".It's keeping the AC air filtered so the air your breathing inside the car is fresh & clean.

If your looking for some sort of scented filter this is not what your looking for. Apparently they are using a medium and active charcoal to remove odors and put cleaner air in the cabin. I've had this in the car (2011 KIA Optima Ex) for about five days now and have to say that it seems to eliminate just about every outdoor scent.I travel I-85 regularly passing by the Purina processing facility which pumps a healthy beefy, moist, dog food smell into the air for miles. Since I've had this filter in I can't notice the smells at all unless I have a the top down or the windows open. It works great and being a FRAM filter it should.At the price point I may order a few of these and change them out when I start to notice a smell sneaking through or maybe just once a year.

Hyundai dealers charge $69.99 to replace it with coupon special on the ads. Don't even want to know how much they charge without the coupon. Googled it online and saw the helpful videos on YouTube and the instructuon is also in the owner's manual. I just don't see why dealerships will charge anyone $70 for this easy job. The dealer's filters may be $30, but why do I pay anyone $40 to do thing that is easy and take only 5 minutes to do. The product is actually better than the original one that came with my 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS. It fits perfectly in the slot and Fram filters have carbon for extra filtration and it absorbs odors better. Since it is so easy to do it myself and the price is reasonable, I will change it every 6 months regardless of milage. This is for the air that my family and I breathe while in the car, the cleaner the better.

I bought this for my 2013 Kia Optima LX. It fits perfectly. The dealer charges about $75 (cabin air filter + installation). I searched online and came across this product.You can go framfreshbreeze dot com and look for your vehicle's model. You can also see installation videos over there.Cost: The cost through Amazon is the most economical.Fit: Make sure you check the company website for fit.Installation: It just takes a few minutes to install it. Once, you watch the video in their site, any person can install it without any issues.Typically, we need to change one every 12 months. But at this price, I will change every 6 months. If you have any questions, ask me.

Installed on a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited.I'm not sure a lengthy review can really be written about this product. It takes two to three minutes to install and you're good to go. For me, there is a noticeable difference in how clean and fresh the air is versus the bottom of the mill filters that I had been using. I don't notice any of the random, obnoxious "road smells" anymore. I highly recommend the product because I was unaware how much of a difference a good filter could make.

The filter arrived in a sealed plastic bag inside a cardboard box, so there wasn't much of a chance that the scent could have just evaporated while setting on the shelf. Absolutely no part of the filter, bag, or box, had a scent to it.On the plus side, which is how I like my women ;-), the instructions were well written (IMO) and it fit exactly like it should in my 2014 KIA Optima SX Turbo.I opted for the subscribe and save, which puts it a bit cheaper than other name brand air filters, so I can deal with the lack of the advertised scent.

I am way up in Canada, and non-OEM Kia parts are hard to come by. Kia charges $80 for these filters. This filter fit perfectly and its quality was equal or better to the original. I wonder why they don't use a white filtering medium .. instead of the light grey? I think I will be able to tell when it is dirty -- but I'm also wondering if it will be hard. Time will tell -- but at worst I suppose I could just change it out in a "timely" manner rather than waiting for it to look filthy.

This was a fraction of the OEM version and is made better. It fits exactly in our 2011 Sonata. It keeps the cabin air fresh and removes the moldy smell that was coming in the cabin. This is due to the poor design of the A/C condensation system in the Sonata. Tried everything and even had gone to dealer to do their costly cleaning of the vents which only temporarily masked the smell. This FRAM filter however is a more permanent solution.
