Cabin filter air flow?
#17
Just installed mine. If indeed the air flow is downward, which makes sense, then the installation video on Wix's website is incorrect. Wix states the airflow is up, and the filter should be installed with the arrow pointing up. I think we all agree this is incorrect.
I think Wix has incorrectly assumed that the stock filters arrow is indicating airflow ... which it does not. It simply indicates filter orientation.
So to summarize - stock air filter should be arrow up, because arrow indicates filter orientation. Wix air filter, arrow down ... indicating air flow direction.
Clear as mud.

On my new 2019 Fram filter, the other words and numbers on the side of the filter are upside down when properly installed, but the arrow is pointing up in the direction of air flow while the words, "air flow" accompanying the arrow are upside down. Clear as mud.
