This is a review of the FRAM CF10134 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter.
I was amazed to discover that WalMart was selling this exact same filter for nearly $16 so I ordered two of them from Amazon and saved a bunch of money.
This was installed into my 2012 Honda CRV. Installation is very easy as my video shows. It will only take you 5 minutes or less to do this and no tools are required.
Here is how to replace the filter in a 2012 Honda CRV.
1-Clear out your glove box.
2-On the right side is a small strut attached to the side of the glove box that you need to detach. Gently press the strut and the bottom edge of it will pop out of the glove box.
3-Gently press in the top front sides of the glove box to disengage it and let it swing down out of the way.
4-Inside you will see a long rectangular panel that has to be removed to access the filter. There are plastic tabs on each end of this cover that are pushed in to allow it to be removed. Do not pull out on these tabs, push in instead. Remove the panel and then simply pull out the old filter.
5-There may be a lot of dirt and debris in the filter so keep it level as you pull it out.
6-It is important to insert the new filter in the proper orientation. Notice the airflow direction arrow printed on the side of the filter and place it in the slot so that the arrow is pointing down.You may notice also notice an arrow on the plastic housing where the air filter will be inserted. Also be sure you install the filter so the folds are going left to right not front to back. Gently guide the filter into place... it may be snug so don't jam it in.
7-Once the filter is in place, snap the cover back into place, put the glove box door back into position and reattach the strut. You're done.
This does not add any fragrance to the car interior but it will filter outside air somewhat because of the combination of baking soda and carbon integrated into the air filter.
You'll need to replace the filter every 15,000 miles at least. If you are in a particularly dusty environment you might want to check it more often. I usually replace mine every 6 months.
If you've never changed your cabin air filter and your car is several years old, you may be shocked at how disgustingly dirty and clogged it could be. You'll notice improved performance with an increased flow of air through your heating/cooling system after changing the filter.
