and I thought mine was dirty at 28000 miles (it was white clean) lol

 

I haven't changed mine since I bought the car new! I have a service appointment coming up. Mental note to self have dealer replace cabin filter

 

You are correct...that is the most disgusting cabin filter ever!

 

wow

 

:-o

 

Wow... I first changed mine after about 25k. It was a lil' dark, that's all. Changed out for a carbon filter. Now, I check it regularly. Every few month I change out my air freshner I place on top of the filter.

 

fishrfun where do you get your charcoal filters from, and how much?

 

I came.

 

You three are some sick bastards......Just like me



Do it yourself and save a lot of $$$. Will take you 15-20 minutes at the most.

 

^what made you go with the charcoal over the paper filter??

 

its easy to change

 

Yup... definitely the nasty.
Mine (the 04) had a mouse nest right from the dealer.
I thought mine was bad, but yours definitely gets the nod for worst ever.

 

Activated charcoal is a proven odour-killer. Just ask Dr. Scholl.

 

Haha...just vacuum it clean, spray it with Lysol and re-use

Wonder what the blower blades look like...slice/dice o'matic

 

haha. we see this kinda **** all the time at the toyota dealership, rats mice, snakes, birds.. yah.... rats are the worst and smell horrible.. once they die in your car it take forever to get that smell out. we were quoted 2grand for this company to completly remove the smell when a rat died in the back of a brand new rav4.
