The FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filter is an easy to install air filter that both filters and deodorizes the air drawn into your vehicle, as well as improves available airflow critical to the efficient workings of air conditioning and heating systems. Designed utilizing the first of its kind mix of active carbon and baking soda woven into the fibers of the filter, it has the ability to remove up to 98% of contaminants that drivers, passengers and vehicle air ducts are exposed to, while also providing twice the protection against commonly occurring odors than other cabin air filters.
What is a Cabin Air Filter?
Not nearly as well-known as familiar oil and standard air filters, many drivers may never even have heard of a cabin air filter. Usually located either inside the passenger compartment near the glove compartment, or under the hood near the windshield, they are used to filter air drawn into your car from the outside for the comfort of passengers, as well as for use by air conditioning and heating systems. They are designed to minimize particles both large and small, as well as allergens and other contaminants and are used in approximately 80% of the vehicles built since the 2000 model year. It is recommended that they be replaced on either an annual basis, or every 15,000 miles. Like any other automotive filter, neglecting to do this can lead to possible risks to your vehicle and/or passengers, in this case including impeded performance of your heating or air conditioning systems by limiting the flow of fresh clean air used by those systems, as well as possible corrosion inside the system and musty or even noxious air vented throughout the vehicle.
Unique Carbon/Baking Powder Technology
The FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter utilizes a unique technology that combines the natural filtering properties of activated carbon and the renowned deodorizing properties of Arm & Hammer baking soda. Infused together within the filter's folds this allows for the removal of 98% of road dust and road pollen* that your vehicle's air circulation system takes in. In addition, this combination also allows for superior protection against odors drawn from outside sources, providing twice the ability to deodorize common odors compared to filters not treated with carbon and baking soda.

Fresh Breeze Smells Sweet and on the Cheap : FRAM CF9846A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter
I have a 2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5 and it's recommended that I change the cabin filter every 15,000 miles or once a year. The dealership charges close to sixty bucks for this little bugger, so I decided to see about doing it myself and found the [[ASIN:B0010DZZVK FRAM CF9846A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter]] on Amazon. By doing a search on how to install it (video available on YouTube doing search 'Changing cabin auto filter, Toyotal 4Runner 2003') and buying this product from Amazon, I saved money and I believe I purchased a superior product to the stock filter.
It is a bit of a bear to get the glove box back into place - at least for me, but generally speaking the replacement of this filter can be done in 15 minutes in most instances. The tough part for me seems to be reseating the glove box so that it has smooth operation. The directions in the air filter box are inadequate and the step-by-step ones on YouTube were a God send! Three basic steps to get to the filter: unscrewing screw on right side, unhooking arm and removing the glove box by pinching the sides to expose the filter behind the glove box. Changing out the filter is simple and you want to have the flattest part of the filter down in the air filter rack when you slide it into position. Reversing the order of things is how you finish up. I'm not a mechanic, but I am a girl who likes to save money, which is what I do when I change this filter myself.
As for the 'fresh scent', I don't notice it too much, but I see that as a perk because when it's time to change the filter I really get some funky scents - especially in the summer with the AC going. On this particular 4Runner, I sometimes get a sulfur smell in the cabin (a problem with this model year I'm told...) when I stomp on the accelerator, but this filter makes that much less noticeable.
Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase and will by more of them in the future. Local oil change places charge more than forty for the filter alone. This is a great price, fairly easy to install and it works.
