A car air filter needs to do two things: 1) fit the opening and 2) filter the air. This one fits my 2019 Buick Envision, and it looks like a fine air filter, with a layer of pre-filter attached to the main filter. It has the little nub in the proper place (see the 2nd picture). My only argument is with the posted description of the filter: they claim it can be changed without tools. That is not true on an 2019 Buick Envision. You need a decent Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the cover (on most cars there are clips you unfasten) and you have to disconnect the air hose (a screwdriver) or you won’t be able reach the last screw so you can lift the cover to change out the filter. The price is very good, and while the installation is not tool-free, that has nothing to do with this filter, it is because of the design of the car.

I always replace my own air filters as it's usually super easy to install in 5 minutes or less and a shop or dealership will charge you an arm and a leg to replace them. If you don't know how to do it, you can usually find a video online showing you how. This filter seems like good quality and fit my 2019 Envision with no problems at all.Seriously, if the shop tells you the air filter needs to be replaced, just politely decline and go home and order one online and replace it yourself. You'd have to be super mechanically disinclined not to be able to figure it out on most cars, and this filter seems like a good option.
