I think I have a mouse in my car, because when i changes mine this weekend I found mouse crap in the pleats. There were only a few and the filter was not chewed or a nest I could see so I guess they are not there any more.

 

You could use anything you want like Lysol, Febreze, etc. Lysol comes in different scents and kills the germs. Not sure if Febreze does or not. At Auto Supply places, they sell a commercial A/C deodorizer that works extemely well. You can try just straight 98% rubbing alcohol in a pump spray bottle like they sell in kitchen stores if you don't want any lingering odor.

 

I've only replaced mine once - with GordGee's

need to replace again... I'll look for something local

 

Thanks for the feedback. If carbon odor filtering isn't a concern, these can be changed more often than others and still save money.

 

mine carbon filter from amazon just shipped...will provide feedback once i install it

 

^same here got it shipped today and installed it in a matter of 10 mins. Couldnt believe how filthy the original was..Cant tell if it really makes a difference i havent been in the car that long after.. The quality of the filter(AMAZON.COM)much better then i expected

 

using nissan charcoal filter...

next time, if still available, i'll opt for the amazon.com charcoal filters...

 

how much was it?

 

Fram also sells in-carbin air filter with arm and hammer. i was thinking of trying it. since no one has tried it before

 

Purolator Breathe Easy cabin filter ever 15k miles

 

this linked you to the amazon one. $25 and $5.xx shipping... a hair over 30 shipped for the carbon activated one.

 

Yea TURTLE is right $30.35 w/ shipping..
Heres the link

InfinitpartsUSA appears to be selling OEM for $27.50 +t&s...

 

i see the filter element listing as $27.50 but this most likely is the normal paper one and not a carbon activated one. Just don't want to confuse anyone. I highly doubt it is the carbon one but it would be noted.

anyone ask rivierside if they would do a little GB on this?

 

A GB on a $40 part??? We should save the request for something substantial like Akebono kit or something... I'd rather save $100 or more - rahter than a few bucks.
