It's a shame that in depth auto videos like these aren't more popular, as I think your video deserves more views. Good job and thank you.

Great test! Now you should get the most out of this testing equipment and do a comparison test between premium filters from various manufacturers.

This was perfect timing, i just bought and replace my cabin filter to an mann filer FreciousPlus. Gonna be fresh af in my car 🙉

Ca de fiecare data, ai facut un video la inaltime, cu informatii foarte bune! Faci o treaba foarte buna! Nu pot decat sa iti MULTUMESC pentru toate informatiile date!

Very good guide! I've decided to change the filter myself since I have allergy and the mechanics probably just use the cheaper ones and charge more. This was very useful to understand and choose which one to buy

Foarte interesant,chiar asteptam de mult un astfel de clip! Multumim pentru efortul si timpul alocat.Acum stim ce sa cumparam:))))

Thank you Sergiu for doing these kinds of tests!

Awesome test Sergiu! Two years ago I went from a basic filter to the very same Mann premium one that you have tested and I noticed a reduction in odors, specially when driving behind a diesel car. However, if I’m driving behind an old truck or some vehicle that generates a lot of smoke I can still smell it moderately. Pollen filtration is very good as well but the basic filter was decent in that aspect too.

I felt like I was watching Project Farm.. great stuff! In Australia the frecious filter is almost double so I'll stick with advanced for now...

Great informative video mate, thank you. The rotten egg test had me laughing me ass off haha. Cheers for the video, I'm going to get a carbon activated one for the first time

Thank you for the amazing reviews. It's highly appreciated.

Zici ca m-am uitat la Project farm! Keep up the good work you'll get there!

This was outstanding! Thank you for going through the process of measuring the particulates in such reliable ways.

After looking at your review, i got the Knecht activated charcoal filter, and it really makes a difference in terms of smells.

Super! Ar fi interesant pe viitor un test cu ulei 2t cred că mulți scuteriști și motocicliști ar aprecia. Bafta in continuare

very freshious review thank you

Cel mai corect canal de youtube

I think it's fair to note that there are no cabin air filters that claim they can take out the smell of rotten eggs. And this is a good thing. Because if you have a rotten anything under your hood, you should probably be able to smell it so you can remove it. Common sense. I think it's great to test out products in a way everyone can understand. Although in this particular video, some basic science was ignored. Like the weight of cement dust in comparison to the weight of pollen and other regular dust particles that you may find in a real-life scenario. Also, smoke rises. And we are generally talking about cigarette smoke and perhaps smoke from a nearby forest fire. But burning paper being pulled downwards is not the same thing. So, if you had used the correct materials and the correct way of collecting the info, it would have been more accurate. The think I learned is that for gases and exhaust, the premium filter didn't do as well as the advanced one. So wouldn't waste my money on premium.

Been waiting for this one for such a long time! Thank you!

i love this channel its been more than a year i think and i still enjoying watching this guy performing tests

Foarte detaliat videoclipul. Nu ca nu ne-ai fi obisnuit deja cu produse video de maxima calitate si detaliu. Pe viitor, daca ai timp, poate incerci si o ,,batalie" intre uleiuri de motocicleta.succes in continuare

Odlican video. Svaka cast 👍 🇷🇸

Foarte bun test, mai bun decat s-ar fi asteptat oricine sa faca intr-un garaj.

Very nice comparison test but one important thing you forgot to emphasize is that the manufacturer suggests the premium filter's polyphenol coating will prevent bacterial and mold growth which leads to odors coming from the filter itself and not from the outside. Good luck!

Brilliant video. Just got a Mann FP filter for my car. Hoping it makes following dirty diesels more bearable.

Great video, had always wondered what the difference was in real life between the filters.

Hats down for you Sergiu!

Thank you for this test I always wondered if me buying a premium cabin filter was worth it!

Hey man! Was waiting for your video and wasn't disappointed. I have the Frecious filter installed in a Passat B8 and I could see the difference in particle - smoke and odours - filtration from the basic filter from before. The difference really is noticeable, especially in traffic. What I don't like, and it might be the filter's fault, the windshield is very , very foggy in the morning with this filter. Didn't had any problems with the basic one from before...

Before even watching the video, I’m hoping Frecious plus is a winner as I’ve used them since launch and think they’re great.

You cracked me up dude, keep up the good work

Very nice presentation and respect for your dedication for the sniff check.

De cand caut asa ceva! Multumesc pt clip si mult succes in continuare!

At work I've changed thousands of filters and the basic one many times you can almost drop a pen through and you certainly CAN read small letters and see straight through it 😂 and it barely have any surface area. On Toyota they are so cheap that they moves when the fan is on and big leafs even go past it.... For approximately 20% higher price for the carbon one you many times get 3 times the surface area and just the feel of it is many times better. And the premium that have surfaced after the pandemic at least the brand we use a lot (Corteco and Purflux use bosh also but less of them since they cost more for less) have a HEPA rated filter with really large surface area (it contains less activated charcoal to get more pleats in it gor better airflow and performance on pollen and dust) and it is from 10 to 40% increase in price from the basic useless one. We never go for the basic since it is many times totally garbage and doesn't actually fit tight or is floppy and falls apart. Only European Ford i demand that it does NOT contain charcoal as they have it mounted all the way into the AC coil and it soaks in water, every time after one year they have severe ammount of mould on the INNSIDE part of the filter!!!!! And it smells mouldy in the car. Owners should file a lawsuit against Ford for that design since it is a serious health issue and it's been like that from 2006 models and even brand new ones... Every time mouldy. So i disinfect the shit out of the coil every service

EXCELLENT testing thanks! Glad I bought the frecious plus

Great test review with actual test results.

Very interesting. Thanks

Thanks, clear so many questions I have.

Thanks! I was recently wondering if it's worth it to pay up for the FreciousPlus filters. Now looking at your test results and side-by-side comparisons, I don't think it makes sense to pay a much higher price for such a small filtration benefit. I'll stick with the charcoal filters.

you should make a clip and combine the results from all the oil tests you did! underrated channel with high quality testing procedures! -edit: nvr mind, found tha table in the "Shell vs Motul vs Bardahl vs Toyota OEM" clip

Damn. Nice video. Lucky that I choose to replace old filter with premium carbon activated bosch filter for my car recently. Your video give some good advice on cabin filter testing and performance. 5 🌟.

Thank you for this thorough review

I take a bow! Perfect video!

Felicitari pt munca depusa ! Cu siguranta ai avut destule provocari . La cat mai multe proiecte !

bravo man! treaba ii clara pentru toata lumea.

Thank you for this!

i love your videos! The always cover interesting topics i'm interested in at cars. keep going!:)

really good video mate!

It would be helpful if all three filters were measured for restricting air flow.

Gr8 job, well done

Now that you know how to test them, you should compare the premium Mann filter with the Bosch A8551, Borsehung B18016 and Purflux AHA378. You may also try the super expensive Cortego CB1129. Please Sergiu, if you don't do it no one will! Maybe not even "Project Farm" will! Keep up with the good work!

great timing! nice work!

Felicitări pentru munca depusa!

Great video as usual! Can you please do air filters? OEM vs K&N vs foam for example? Loving the beard btw!

Thank you man!

you are hilarious, really liked your video!!

Thank you for this, subscribed!!

Good work bro impressed

Excellent video, I have tried so called hepa filters, basic, carbon and like the hepa ones best. just order a FP to try out. Slightly disappointed that it doesn’t filter 90% as claimed

I'd recommend a Bio filter on cars that filter the air before the evaporator because the air that goes through it won't have the humidity removed from it and will grow mold on it.

i know some people say the mann frecious plus is so good they can't smell diesel exhaust in front, but i say their nose is not very good. i can smell it immediately, even with this filter and your data supports this. the filters only partially block the smell, which is expected.

very great, i will buy this FreciousPlus for my Jag

salut!! inca un canal super interesant! posteaza mai des!

great effort, rlly appreciated

Acum ca m-am uitat la clip am sa impartasesc si experienta mea. Am luat un filtru mann cu carbon si polifenol pentru vw t-cross. Made in germany! O porcarie de filtru a tinut 2000 km timp in care am avut aerul obstructionat in masina si credeam ca este o problema la turbina masinii plus geam aburit mai mereu 😒 dupa 2000 km l-am gasit plin de “lana”. Sincer cred ca este original dupa ambalaj. La vechiul vw polo foloseam doar cu carbon mann mereu au fost ok. Cele de top cu polifenoli sunt mai mult doar o strategie de marketing pt a lua bani mai multi. Se vede si in testele tale ca diferenta la filtrare este foarte mica. Ar fi interesant sa testezi si cat de mult obstructioneaza- garantat pot soune ca intre cel medium carbon si polifenoli este uriasa! Si cred ca se datoreaza primului strat care seamana a tesatura plus stratului de polifenolie care nu prea face mai nimic

Sergiu,i’ve been using polifenol mann biofunctional filter on all my cars and one of those has a “functionality”issue with the ac compressor valve on my skoda octavia 2 and that has an causes an intermittent working type situation.That means that the ac is on at high revs like motorways and stops working at stop lights and city driving…you know…when tmyou need the most. That issue with the ac was the perfect test example for me to know what cabin filter works best for me.The on off situation means that the filter gets moist and dry more often and i got like 50% of its life time and the hobo 🧦 socks smell came earlier during its life time because of the accelerated bacteria growing inside the filter. And that situation went on and on for me until i got my hands on the polifenol mann filter. Same moisture smell,but no hobo socks smell in the car and that was due to the polifenol treatment on the filter.It actually does someting good like not permitting bacteria 🦠 to grow and develop on the paper layers. Beside this situation i have also encountered another issues,but this time with me,getting a sudden health allergy from the plant ambrosia. On my normal daily driving car that has also a factory aqs (air quality sistem)embedded and Mann Fervious plus polifenol cabin filter,driving with my windows up and ac on on recirculation mode,the allergy,itching eyes sneezing and running nose reduced in frequency and even more there were no longer present.And that until i go out of the car 😂 I also have a friend that owns a 2013 Audi A8 and has the same allergy issues as i do and thaked me with its life after i have put him up to date on the market existence of the Mann frecious plus filter. So my recommendations for the cabin filters are like this: If you don’t have any health allergy or respiratory issues and you respect the manufacturer’s cabin filter change interval’s you can go for the Mann carbon filter.It does the same thing.Also the difference in costs between carbon and polifenol is not so big so you can choose the polifenol. Also with the covid 19…polifenol mann version is a must.

well done and enjoyable.

With cabin & engine filters. Isn't it a great idea to put some silicon grease around the edge, so air doesn't go past the filter?

Great test. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

The egg test!!😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died

Bine ai revenit barosane :)

Do an Air Filter test next please. K&N vs other brands also you could test a Universal Pod Filter like the ones most people use to make a "cold air intake" for their car.

"Those shoes look very Frecious"🤣

I wonder if Tesla's marketing for there Bio Defence filtration is hype or hyper good ?. My car has no filtration, tried a DIY approach with a HEPA vacuum bag cut up, but it reduces the air flow so much it was removed 😊. Amazing work you've been sharing with us, thank you.

Very nice video, thank you! Kneht Mahle also makes BIO filters, quolity is similar with Mann and price is quite similar as well. It would be great if you Will test both Just to know which one is better.

Great video test Sergiu! For my car not only MANN, but Purflux and Mahle do produce the 3 types as well and I haven't check for others. I was wondering if I should buy the most expensive one (new), where I have been always putting the carbon(advanced type) for smell control and smog, which have served me well as your test have shown in comparison to the Basic filter to my personal experience? The price for the most expensive one is x2 to the Advanced filter, so I am wondering if it's worth it to replace it as twice as often or just keep going the same way as I am pleased with the Advanced? A degradation test could be something you can do in another video, as some filters tend to get clogged way before usual replacement period that the manufacturer recommends. Thumbs up!

great test!!!

Great work brother, does the premium one affect the airflow from the vent ? Thanks

great video ,,, greetings from bulgaria

Great test.

great job thanks a lot

Salut! M-am abonat! Toate cele bune!

Thx Buddy.

Thank you!

good info! THX :)

The question is how quickly the carbon filter gets saturated, especially in certain conditions. Ive also heard, but dont know if it is correct that carbon filters re-releases the trapped gasses at certain temperatures not far above room temperature (so a car in the sun?)...

Can you compare fuel filters for gasoline engines next? BOSCH, MANN, HENGST, MAHLE, FEBI etc. ? Thank you!😀

I hope that you are ok!

Thank's for the test :)

Thanks for this. I'm going to need maintenance on my car in a few months, and I was wondering if those more expensive cabin filters made a difference. They do. I will buy one of those, instead of the simpler cheaper ones. I don't wish to impose, but any chance of testing an original Toyota oil filter, and comparing it with an aftermarket equivalent?

The audio volume is too low. I liked the jokes. Im glad you explained about all the testing challenges you had!

It's probably the best to change them every 5000 KM and use the basic version.

How long do you think it takes to saturate the activated carbon? I live in a stinky area, mostly wood and pulp mills, I need to replace my filter every four months.

I need active carbon filters in my car seats since my friends always farts in my car 😂

as from engineer, I expect correct axis markings, as for example 17:32 Y-axis particle number, X-axis particle size in [μm?]

Multumim pentru video. Poti sa ne recomanzi si alte marci de filtre de interior ? Multe marci au doar un tip de filtru (regular sau advanced sau premium) nici o alta marca nu e ca MANN sa produca cele trei calitati. În America de nord, aceasta marca este disponibila doar pentru utilajele agricole sau camioane grele.

Can you do a video testing oil treatments/cleaners? Do they work in cleaning sludge or do they hurt the engine?

Hi Sergiu, I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work. I have a suggestion for you, can you make a video about rust convertors ? or just which is the best rust prevention for a car?

👏🏻

Filtrul advanced Mann din acest test are 3 straturi . (așa am observat când am căutat pt mine) . Am luat Mahle antibacterial cu 5 straturi .
