Just like with most other products, there are high quality filters and low quality units available for purchase. I can get Wix cabin filters through AMSOIL for $38, a discount of over $12 compared to retail...include one of these with an oil order and the shipping will be ~50 cents. These are considerably less expensive than OEM filters, yet they are of the highest quality. Cabin filters play an important role in your vehicles HVAC system as they trap and hold dirt, pollen and mold. Wix cabin filters are specially treated (BioShield 75) to trap microbes and the filter elements are impregnated with carbon to reduce/eliminate odor. Filters available from some other manufacturers are just paper.
According the the Wix Web site:
"BioShield® 75 is a patented, EPA registered and USDA accepted product that prevents the growth of a wide array of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and yeast. BioShield® 75 acts as a bed of microscopic spikes that pierce the cell walls of microbes to provide long lasting antimicrobial protection. Being only about one thousandth the size of a human hair, the spikes are too small to harm large cells in mammals. In addition to effectively inhibiting the growth of mold, mildew, algae and bacteria, BioShield® 75 protects against deterioration, discoloration and odor. BioShield® 75 has been utilized in the automotive, medical, hospitality, health club and athletics industries because of its proven effectiveness and durability.
What benefits does BioShield® 75 bring to WIX Filters?
When applied to cabin air filters, BioShield® 75 traps and eliminates harmful microbes in the filter medium and reduces the opportunity for those microbes to be released into the air breathed by automobile occupants. Unlike other cabin air filter enhancements in the marketplace such as charcoal or baking soda, which simply absorb odors, BioShield® 75’s invisible microbiostatic coating becomes part of the filter fiber, polymerizing and standing up like microscopic spikes – 1,000 spikes of protection per the width of a hair – that pierce the cell walls of microbes, virtually eliminating microbials. In addition to effectively inhibiting the growth of mold, mildew, algae and bacteria, BioShield® 75 protects against deterioration, discoloration and odor."
