Gez thank you to this thread! Going to try that Purolator one.
I wanted to get a better than OEM cabin filter before our road trip and for some reason no one has the cabin filters listed for the Ranger (retail and amazon was not 100% clear either). Deserves a bump for those trying to avoid the dealer. I have been hit n miss with carbon ones, in our '16 Pilot I felt like I lost a noticeable amount of airflow. We'll see how the Ranger does. I think the one in there might have absorbed shop scents from being at the dealer 7 weeks.

What is funny is that my local dealer marks up parts even higher than MSRP, last couple times I have just got it from them out of convenience but I am tired of being there more recently.

What I don't understand is how dealers, oil change places and repair shops charge such inflated prices to replace cabin air filters. My daughter took her 2004 Honda Accord to get some maintenance and they wanted $116 to replace the cabin air filter. I spent like $18 to get one at RockAuto and it took all of 2 minutes to replace. EVERYWHERE I've seen quotes for air cabin replacement they are RIDICULOUS. It took me a LOT longer to replace an engine air filter on our C-Max than it does to replace the cabin air filter and some places say they will do that for free.
I don't begrudge places wanting to be compensated for labor but that is like 20-30 mins of labor for a 2 min job - LITERALLY. It is one of my pet peeves.....

As a former Benz tech, I agree. If you take it in for an oil change, it should just be parts since they are already working on the vehicle and they mark parts up. My Ford dealer wants like $38 for the cabin filter plus labor to install which is a joke, something like $85 they told me once.
Prior to looking in the forum I just bought them at the dealer. It was weird to not be able to find a cabin filter online, even went to an advanced auto once and they told me they dont see it in the system.

I just buy the cheap Chinese 'carbon enhanced' filters off Amazon for my cars for around $10 each and change them myself every 6-9 months.

I do Cabin Filters, every October, regardless of Mileage. ( I barely do 6k a year over all of our cars)
This year, I have ordered K&N Replacements and will just pull out & clean when necessary. The Motorcraft ones used to be $10, but they have gone up like everything else.

This is why I roll my eyes at anyone whenever they say crap like " they have employees and bills to pay"
No thats just the shop owner being greedy at that point. And if they need to do that to stay a float they're not gonna last long.

That was kind of my point - it isn't ONE shop - it seems like EVERYWHERE charges an outrageous amount to replace that filter. It is just nuts.

The "Everyone" tries to paint this picture that it is an elusive item that requires time as it is intricate and there is a special tool needed.
The unknowing unaware will fall for it. Easy profit.
A good place will look everything over, give you a report and install the extra parts in the labor for the visit. Then the next repairs, if reasonable and affordable (mine were not) can be scheduled. You know, Customer Service.
Go for the Long Term! not short term money grab. Quickest way to lose customers and a business.
