Cabin Air Filter

Do you think that the OEM Cabin Air Filter is 3-4 times better than an aftermarket one like the following:

https://www.amazon.com/TYC-800179C-Replacement-Cabin-Filter/dp/B00LM03YFA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=TYC+800179C+Replacement+Cabin+Air+Filter+Compatible+with+Lexus&qid=1587941616&sr=8-1

Or, do you think that the performance of an aftermarket filter would be fine?

Thanks.

Nope. With OEM the quality is just more consistent. Aftermarket can be a hit and miss, but its only a cabin air filter. Stick to OEM for everything else like oil filters.

If you want an Upgraded cabin filter, we can get BLITZ Cabin Filters.

I would stay with oem unless you know for sure the aftermarket ones have good reviews on them. I tend to go OEM for peace of mind.

Yea but a cabin filter isn't critical. All it does is filter the outside air coming in just like your home AC unit.
