Fram CF10377 Review by A_G (CA United States)

As my title states, I never use Fram, but I made an exception for this. First, it was offered at a great price on Amazon. Second, this filter uses activated charcoal which helps to minimize odors. Third, it was a perfect fit and does the job well. For once, it seems buying Fram was a good move.


Fram CF10377 Review by N. Walter (United States)

I normally stick with factory replacements, and also shy away from fram for just about everything. I went out on a limb on this one, looking for a better replacement than the factory cabin filter. I am very happy with this, it is a quality product (though it is made in china) that filters better and even feels better than the factory filter. The icing on the cake is that this is also about half the cost.

I highly recommend this over the factory filter, this model fits 2002 Subaru Impreza/Wrx and probably other subaru vehicles.


Fram CF10377 Review by Usama Ahmad (Chicago, IL United States)

Introduction:

First, I'm a novice when it comes to cars. Though I know in theory how to do some things like change a car's oil, I've never actually done it by myself because I am just as happy paying someone to take care of it for me every 3 months/3500mi. However I installed this on my own, which should give you an idea of how easy it is to do.

I used the Amazon website's "garage" feature to filter parts for my Subaru Impreza. I cross checked this parts with other websites where you can pick up such parts so I can be doubly sure it would fit my car. Reviews for some spark plugs for my car mentioned that sometimes Amazon is wrong, so I would recommend doing that for all your parts to avoid the hassle of returning an item.

I bought my Subaru used in 2008 and from day 1 I recall every time I would use the air conditioner there would be a strange, somewhat nauseating, smell that hung around for the first 5-10 minutes. I ignored it and learned to keep my windows open for the first few min to avoid the smell. I really didn't have the time to look into it, or the budget, as I bought the car out of necessity and had not much money left.


Finally decided to buy this:

I'm close to graduating now and I have enough time where I began to look into this problem. I figured it was the cabin air filter that was the issue and after looking at my manual (I don't know much about cars) and saw that it was a relatively easy, if somewhat cumbersome to replace. So I bought this for a relatively inexpensive ~$16. (I recently had to take my car in to the dealer for a free software update and they quoted me $110 to replace the cabin air filter for me).

So I removed the 9 screws off the glove box as instructed in the manual, but I couldn't remove it completely as the wire connecting to the little light in the glove box wouldn't disconnect for me. So I worked around it. Pulled out the old one, which was DIRTY! (I've uploaded a picture of the old one), and popped in this one. I had to work around the one wire I couldn't disconnect but these things are fairly flexible so it wasn't too difficult. I did everything by myself, and I made sure I had everything I would need before I got started, including something to hold each of the 9 screws in.


Results:

I noticed a vast improvement in air quality. Not only is the A/C working sans-smell now, I don't get nauseous in the first few minutes like I used to, and the air comes out faster or with more force. I imagine the newer, cleaner filter, allows air to come through with less hindrance. This may be the first time it was replaced in its 4-5 years so perhaps that's why the difference was so dramatic?

I think the $16 and 15-20min it takes to replace the item is well worth it if you're suffering from a weird smell from the A/C-heater unit. Or if you just want the peace of mind that you're breathing better air (again, see the pictures I uploaded).
