I guess an updated filter also means a more powerful fan. Otherwise, the airflow will be significantly lower.

The filter are great , getting to them is a nightmare.
Getting to them depends on the car manufacturer. Had one that was a nightmare another that was easy. K&N just makes replacement filters of high quality.

What is the recommended cycle for cleaning?

As I remember, annually. I keep the original filter to put in while the K&N dries

I never saw a K & N filter but they sound like a quality product. Do you clean them yourself by hand and soaking them in something?

They have a cleaning kit. K&N is well known in the automotive performance scene.

Love hearing this news but I'll reserve a chunk of my excitement until I find out how easy this is to replace.
Good point. One of my cars you just pop out the glove box and the filter box is right there. On my wife's old Escape you had to contort yourself and the filter under the dash on the passenger side.

95% filtration of 2.5 micron particulate is excellent! I would recommend against the cheap ones, which may not be anywhere near that good. Screw Amazon and all the Chinese junk Bezos peddles!
However, I may run a more basic filter, or none at all in the winter. I live way up in the sticks, not many chemicals floating about.
The filter will keep field mice out of the cabin.

My 2008 HHR has a cabin filter. I like it. I have severe allergies and work outdoors. In the springtime on my way home from work I put the A/C on recirc and breathe filtered air. It sure helps a lot.
