Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Engine Air Filter Replacement - FRAM Extra Guard CA10088 for Dodge, Hyundai, and Kia Vehicles - Easy Installation, Advanced Protection, Optimal Performance by Hank Mistretta

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap and probably works well.

Fits and works well I'm sure. I didn't pay much so can't complain. However, I was able to compare it to the equivalent part of Wix upon installation. Before that I bought a Wix filter for the same car on Amazon. It was a bit more expensive. When it comes to filterability, I would have to believe that the number of pleats and the porosity of the pleat itself (filter material) are the drivers. I also think that the "open area" of the pleats (surface area) will also play a role in airflow. I can't figure out how porous (or open) the filter media is in this case, but the number of pleats is easy. This block has 1/2 to 2/3 the number of folds in the Wix filter. Which at first glance indicates a significantly weaker filtering ability. The downside to this is that you're likely to get more airflow through the filter (probably not if the open air, due to the many folds in the filter, makes up for it), which can make for a slightly more responsive ride (more air, oxygen, going into the filter for combustion). reach the engine). That way you balance a little more dirt getting into your engine with the possibility of a little better response. It may not be the best filter if you drive in very dusty conditions. normal" conditions!
