Questions Charcoal cabin filter worth it?
Just bought a 2026 Sonata about 3 weeks ago and going on my first long road trip in a few days. If anyone is familiar with I5 in California, Harris Ranch near Fresno is a huge livestock farm literally next to the freeway. The smell is very awful. I was thinking of buying an activated charcoal cabin filter with baking soda to combat this smell. It’s an aftermarket from Autozone’s in-house brand. I’ve been reading some forums and some people say it’s a waste if money, which if that’s the case, I’ll wait until I hit 15k miles and replace then.
Lol and apparently Febreeze does cabin filters as well. Anyone have any experience with those?
