Note on Bosch AC filter P3600

Thought I try to save a few dollars and try the Bosch cabin filters instead of Honda in the 2000 TL. The Bosch P3600 are not an exact fit.

The filters are about 2-3mm too long to fit in the plastic frames and will need trimming down with scissors/knife. It was a pain in the butt. The paper seems to be thin compared to Honda. It is questionable whether it was worth the few dollars saved.

I had the same issue with the Bosch AC Cabin Filters I bought too. I've used Wix Filters the last couple of changes and the fit and quality were very good.

How much did you save?

It costs $8.23 for an OEM filter. That's $18.46 for both filters, no hassle. How much cheaper could it get?
