K&N 2009-2018 Subaru Forester 2.5L H4 F/I Cabin Air Filter | Premium Replacement
Upgrade your 2009-2018 Subaru Forester 2.5L with a K&N washable, reusable cabin air filter. Improve HVAC airflow, reduce odors, and save money.
Keep the air inside your vehicle fresh and clean with the K&N Washable Cabin Air Filter (Part # VF2055), engineered specifically for 2009–2018 Subaru Forester 2.5L H4 models. Unlike traditional single-use paper filters that require frequent replacement, this premium cabin air filter features an advanced non-woven synthetic filter media that is electrostatically charged to grab and trap airborne particles. It effectively captures dust, pollen, mold, mildew, spores, and other allergen contaminants before they enter your cabin HVAC system.
Built with a durable polyurethane frame and pre-treated media, the K&N cabin filter helps eliminate damp, musty cabin odors while significantly increasing airflow into your vehicle. Increased airflow allows your HVAC heating and cooling performance to operate at peak efficiency year-round. Best of all, this filter is fully washable and reusable—simply wash, refresh, and reinstall whenever it gets dirty. Backed by K&N's 10-Year/1,000,000-Mile Limited Warranty, it is designed to last the entire lifespan of your Forester, saving you money while reducing environmental landfill waste.
