2 Pack Cabin Air Filter for Mazda 3 CX-30 CX-50

The dealer estimated $120 to change the cabin filter got this bad boy, and fixed myself for $15 bucks.

Got these to replace the cabin air filter in our CX-30. With 2 years on our vehicle, it was safe to assume that we still had the factory filter installed. When we removed the installed air filter, it was full of leaves and pine needles.Our replacement filter fit like the stock one, and everything went back together as expected. Upon running the AC recirculated with the new filter, we noticed that the air immediately smelled fresher! I guess over time we got used to the smell of our car, but now the air smells as it did when the car was new.If you’re looking for cabin air filters at a good deal, look no further! These are it!

Not all filters are created equal, and unfortunately there is no good way to tell whether a filter is high quality or not without lab testing. I did not go that route, so I can only speak to what I observed myself in the installation process. The filters come in a plain, no-nonsense box that is neither shabby nor luxe. However the filters come in a bag that has a message printed on it that looks as though it was designed in Microsoft Word from 1998. Bad graphics are worse than no graphics at all, and it makes the overall product seem less than professional. It also has some links websites with unprofessional URLs and a hotmail email address.Nevertheless, the actual cabin air filter was sized almost identically to the stock Mazda air filter that I was replacing. If you don't know, the Mazda CX30 air filter is in the glove compartment. I unclipped the filter door, ejected the dirty filter and slid the new filter in. It clipped into place perfectly.And that's it. The installation was smooth as butter and I an only assume that the product is working as advertised. I will amend my review if something else happens, but for now it's a perfectly good replacement air filter for a Mazda CX30.
