Denso Cool Gear Air Filter

When I bought the cabin air filter, I also bought the air filter from the same seller in Lazada, price wise is half of the original parts. Design is almost the same and the quality of the material is almost similar. A notable differences are the thickness of the filter. Cool gear filter a bit more thinner overall.

There are stamps of parts number on the front side of the filter instead of the side on the original parts. Original parts that I bought previously are Made in Thailand and the new is Made in China.

Differences between the old and new, dirty and clean air filter.

Denso Cool Gear Cabin Air Filter

 

Do you feel that your air cond is not performing well and the air blown are weak ? Maybe it is time to change your cabin air filter. As you know, all the modern car come with cabin air filter to purify the internal air circulation and it is important to change the filter once a while to ensure optimum air circulation of the car.

In my previous post, I had changed the cabin air filter to Denso premium filter which cost quite a lot however, recently during my internet searching, I found that Lazada does sell cabin air filter by Cool Gear (Denso) for sale and it cost very much less than the original.

Cool Gear is a sub brand for Denso and it sell parts at the more affordable price and since the price is almost 2 or 3 times less than the original parts, I try it out and buy one online and get it delivered to me within a week. It does fit well after installation and out comes the old filter which is colour black rather green (Original).

I would recommend getting this parts rather than OEM as this parts are still manufactured by Denso subsidiary so quality wise should be better than OEM. For Malaysian, you can buy this via lazada and you can get some discount too with free delivery too.
