So today after taking the car to the dealer I found out that my tC did not come with an air filter. The good filter that takes care of the odor costs 54 dollars at the dealer. According to them, the filter I have to get is the 87139-50060. However there are two things.

Should I buy OEM? on Amazon it costs about the same, so I might as well buy it from dealer. I'm just kinda skeptical about getting an aftermarket A/C Filter.
here is the one:

It says in the description that the filter has a carbon layer just like the OEM for odors, but it has just one 5-star rating which bugs me.

What do you guys think? OEM or After-market?

 

Um I replaced my filter with one from advance auto or Wal-Mart. Can't remember. (1st gen) fairly cheap though. Dunno if it had "carbon" in it to reduce odors but I don't smoke or eat in my car so it doesn't get too much of an odor. Worth a look though
