Detailed Product Overview

Built as a WIX cabin air filter, part number 24046 uses particulate media in a cabin air panel style to support cleaner HVAC airflow inside the vehicle. The filter media is enhanced with Microban antimicrobial technology to help protect the media from bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. In applications where odor-reducing media is used, it also helps reduce outside exhaust odors that can enter the cabin in traffic.

This part cross-references FRAM CF11672 for the same application. It is a direct replacement choice for drivers looking for a Mazda 3 cabin air filter or a Mazda 3 Sport cabin air filter with OE-style service interval guidance.

What It Helps Address

• Dust and pollen entering the passenger compartment
• Soot and other airborne contaminants in the HVAC system
• Musty odors caused by microbial buildup on filter media
• Exhaust odors from surrounding traffic, where applicable
• Reduced cabin air quality during routine driving and severe conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the cabin air filter at the vehicle’s recommended service interval or sooner if airflow drops or odors increase. Confirm the filter dimensions and style match the existing HVAC filter location before installation. For best results, inspect the cabin air filter housing for debris before installing the new filter.
