The one on sale I change it every OIC along with the Air intake filter.
I want to try one of those new "biofunctional" cabin filters
Mann Frecious Plus and Mahle Care Metix (part numbers starting with LAO -- yes, that's a letter oh, not the number zero)
The Mann FP media is yellow, while the Mahle counterpart is blue.

I like Fram the best as it has both carbon and baking soda in it and is a good value.
Wix/Napa Gold is my second choice for the good quality construction and carbon treated media.

definitely right choice cause pm2/pm2.5 is the real problem and protection in this filters are better compared to standard active charcoal one.
Mann FP is patented, Mahle-dind't found concrete info.
also check for Corteco/Freudenberg micron air blue.

I stopped using the FRAM in cabin filters with the carbon because the airflow decreased a lot in both our vehicles. Sure it blocked out a lot of nasty stuff but it blocked the air also. Turning up full blast felt like it was halfway turned up and is making the A/C knit working overtime to push through the filter. I ended up going back to the basic $10 filters that have decent amount of pleats. Works better, cheaper and less wear/tear on the A/C unit.

Are you sure it was installed in the right direction?
