mmmm i think is more of a wanting your cabin smelling at least normal, if you dont change it your cabin might have a musty smell, not good for luxury sports car if you know what i mean...super easy to change give it a try

Super easy?
I thought you had to do a bunch of crap to get to it.
Anyone have a quick way to change it?

The importance of clean air is up for you to decide....

"Super easy"? Yes. Well, not compated to putting gas in the tank, but as far as other maintaince, it's about as easy as it gets. 10 minutes at the most.

i believe you need to change the filter to keep the warranty

It's made of paper, not a charcoal filter like a Mercedes - so it is subject to mildew particularly in wetter or more humid areas.

You don't need to change your cabin filter to hold warranty. Oil filter maybe because it can damage your engine if you don't change the filter. Cabin filter is for your comfort so changing it is good for health reasons.

...although there IS a filter available with charcoal in the filter medium. If you enjoy that musty smell, well then...don't bother.

If you're too cheap for paying a couple extra bucks to get a charcoal filter, should you be driving an Infiniti?
