Rockauto.com has options at a very reasonable price.

So how do you remove the glovebox door to access the filter?

Here's an EBay seller of a Wix filter that is claiming compatibility with the 2010 Kizashi. (Plug in Kizashi on the page questionnaire). $40 for the filter.

Looking at the dimensions specified for the original above, I'm not convinced the Rock Auto listings would be compatible. But who knows?

Okay guys - I am currently performing as much of the 30k service myself as I can, and here is the deal with the cabin filter. I would never ever ever pay 150 bucks or even 50 bucks for a damn filter, so I bought the one for the 2010 xterra to see if it would come close to working...The oem unit is paper surrounded by a plastic outer case that keeps it firm and in place. The Xterra one is paper/cotton type material and is actually in 2 pieces when you take it out of the box. What i did is put it up against the original filter and trim part of it off to get it to be the same length as the oem one. It is just paper so it trims away easily with good scissors. basically once it is trimmed, you put the two pieces next to each other in your cabin filter box and make sure they are sitting appropriately in there. It's not as perfect of a fit, but it certainly gets the job done, and my car smells very fresh inside now. For 18 bucks, I recommend highly going this route.

Had the filter replaced last week. The service manager let me in on a "secret": the kizashi can use a suzuki swift filter. He put the two side by side and, apart from a couple of small plastic wings on the swift filter (that he clipped away), everything else was good (the swift filter seemed a couple of millimeters shorter in length, but it had a spongy band around it that made it fit perfectly).

By the looks of it, the build quality of the new filter is better than what the kizashi came with (it might even be the washable type, but I will probably not worry about it now that I know what to look for on e-bay .

Hi,
I did buy a CF10553, and this air filter doesn’t fit. It is in two pieces, and the length is at least 2’’ too long.

I went back to the store with my original one, and was able to find one that is a perfect match, a CF10546 ($20.00 CAN). The only modification required was the removal of a small appendix on one side. This model is used on Suzuki Swift.

Regards

Where did you find the Fram CF10546 for $20.00 CAN, if you don't mind? I'd like to give it a try, I still get the moldy smell in the car every now and then when I turn the AC on, I think a better filter might help with that.

Thx.

After reading all the helpful comments on this page I found that , STP brand, cabin air filter for the Nissan Frontier (STP part number: CAF1830P) was the exact same dimensions as the cabin air filter I needed for my Kizashi. With the exception of a little plastic tab on one of the sides, which I was able to saw/break off, the new cabin air filter fit like a glove. I used this on my 2010 Suzuki Kizashi and it ran US $19.99 at a local Auto Zone.

As far as an intake air filter, I found that they are very hard to come by. I ended up ordering one from K&N online and it works great.

Thanks for all the great advice everyone.
