I'm doing mine this weekend. I've had it sitting in the box for 4 weeks now

 

Iv got one in the mail. I'll do it when i change my oil..... to FULL synthetic!! Very niice

 

Why is it so important to spend time and money replacing an in cabin filter that has no impact on engine performance. Seems like another marketing scam by the car companies to empty our pockets for a trivial maintenance item.

I can see the importance of it if one has allergies, I guess.

Quality of air you breathe while your in the car... smell... hardly trivial IMO

 

WHy not maintain your car? Why let things go? I always see people who don't maintain their cars. They have dash and exterior bulbs out, the A/C barely blows because the cabin filter is clogged, the tires are in need of a balance, little things like that. If you fix them as they come up, your car runs mint. Let it go and all the sudden you have a laundry list of crap to fix. Not everything should revolve aroung getting the max amount of HP out of your engine.


Plus i have alergies, and the season is about to start so i gotta get my new filter in ASAP.

 

If your filter is really dirty your blower motor for your air conditioning and heater will be working overtime to maintain the temperature you want inside your car. Doesn't hurt to check it.

 

This is kind of like a public service announcement.

"It's Sunday, April 26, 2009. Have you checked your in-cabin air filter lately?"

 

Wow thats filthy

 

going to pick one up today and change mine....pollen season is here

 

Here's mine at about 62,000 mi. Not as bad as some of those pics, but well overdue. I ordered up a Wix unit when I bought my last shipment of Amsoil goodies.

 

I'm still indecisive, I don't know which version to buy!!???

 

I have noticed a funky smell when i turn on my a/c now. I am going to get the carbon one. It helps to eliminate odors. Plus you take apart your glove box to get to it so why not?

 

That filter still looks pretty clean to me. Just because it's not white like a new one doesn't mean that it's occluded. I'm sure it feels good putting a nice clean filter in regardless of wether you need it or not. I'm still on the same one at 90k miles and the air blows strong and smells fine. I'll probably change it at 100k just for the heck of it.

 

I changed mine right at 60,000 and it looks pretty much like swivels.

 

I just went by 114,000 miles and I never even thought of changing the cabin filter....damn oh well I will do it tomorrow but I have never had any bad smells in my car.
