Change? Nah, K&N VF2007, vacuumed it out, dunked it in water, pulled it out, lightly air hoses excess, spray some leather scented spray in the pleats and back in she went.

2014 CRV. Out was a ATP I believe. In was a Amazon Basics Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon and Baking Soda. I bought a 2 pack of these when they first came out and the price was right. First time using one. It is as thick as the OEM.
Changed the original cabin filter in my 2023 VW Jetta GLI since purchasing in November 2022.
Installed a MANN filter PN: CUK 26 009
The MANN filter, made in Mexico, and the OEM were identical even though the OEM is Valeo brand and made in Germany.

2018 Subaru Legacy Sport. Yearly change.
Out: Purolator Boss PBC35667
In: Bosch HEPA 9055C
The Puro is nice and thick. Had a lot of junk in it. The Bosch "seems" to be slightly narrower and slightly deeper. Let's see how it hold up for one year.

Don’t be surprised to experience lower air flow.
I don't have experience with the older Bosch Hepa filters but the one I just put in and the one I have been using in my Impreza are thinner. It hasn't decreased airflow at all. We'll see with this one.

2021 Sierra HD. OEM out, Bosch HEPA in. OEM wasn't very dirty but at 3 years why not.
Gave the KN VF2007 cabin filter a rinse in soap and water and lightly tapped dry. Reinstalled, ran a/c on low recirculation and noticed slightly colder and pleasantly scented. O hp gains, but I don't have a seat of my pants meter so it might give back some tq maybe.
How was your air flow with the HEPA?
I didn't notice any decrease in air flow. These new HEPA filters seem to be thinner. I just bought a BNX Trufilter and it looks identical to the Bosch.
Replaced 2 for MIL's vehicles 2004 Acura TL, and 2014 Toyota tacoma. Replaced whatever was in there with Supertech. Really disappointed with the quality of the supertech! I thought the first one might be a fluke, but both were poor.
4.5 year old Wix Poland particulate filter was full of debris despite only being used for 6k miles. Replaced with a TYC Taiwan charcoal filter; very pleased with it for $5
