Post Your Latest CAF Change!

[opus1]

The Sonata was at the dealer yesterday and they recommended a cabin filter change - for a little over $97.

It was dirtier than I expected but I passed since I had a new one at home; 5 minutes of work and I saved myself $87.

Out with the old Purolator C36157, in with the new Purolator C36157. Didn't think to take pictures this time.

How did you like the Bosch? I haven't noticed a difference at all with any of the HEPA filters I have used. I did like the fact that the Pureflow was a little thicker than the others I have used including the Bosch.

I use Bosch HEPA’s on several vehicles and have not noticed any air flow reductions and increased noise; these are some concerns voiced by users. Advance was clearing the Fram’s out and hence I picked up a few for a couple of vehicles. Rock Auto has excellent prices on Bosch HEPA’s. I like the Bosch filters.

Out: Hann & Co
In: Carory from Amazon
The Carory seemed to flow a little better than the Hann & Co but I vacuumed out the Hann and it didn’t have enough restriction for the vacuum cleaner to hold it. I’ll probably just run the H&C next time for another 12 months.
