Honda vs. WIX vs. Purolator- cabin filter

[vinu_neuro]

Out of these which would is best to use? I don't think OEM will make the cut since it's too expensive ($33) and I need two of whatever filter I use. So it's really down to WIX ($16) and Purolator ($21). There's also the ATP Carbon Activated one ($15), but I've never heard of this company.

There is also Denso ($15).

A Parts Plus (Premium Guard) would probably be even cheaper.

El cheapo filters from RockAuto work great on our Hondas.

Fit varies by application. Trial and error til one fits snug and you have a winner.

For a cabin filter, just buy the Wix and wash the old one, dry it and use it next time. Just switch it out and clean it.

Engine air filter is another story.

Honda! You can buy the OEM filter on Amazon for $16 each. Same price online at SonsHonda.
You might even get free shipping. No reason to go aftermarket at that price.
Here in Canuckistan I get the OEM cabin and air filters mainly for fit. The fit is primarily for the cabin filter, never any issues at all as I've read with aftermarket ones. I couldn't care about the extra expense if I am guaranteed perfect fit and trouble free installation every time. $25-32 is what the OEM cabin filter costs me.
