Why you should really change you cabin air filter regularly..

I found a mouse nest in mine.

Not too sure how long I have been driving around with it there, but I haven't changed the filter in 50K. The a/c feels down right cold now.

People who leave their filters past 20k are always surprised to see whats there. I remember one guy found a rats nest years ago.

Joker posted eBay as a good source in a dirty cabin air filter thread in the Cdn section. I bought mine (a Wix) from amsoil.com

I just did alot of research and ended up buying this from amazon. Got it in the mail yesterday and the quality looks good and its hard to beat that price for a carbon filter + im a sucker for arm and hammer advertising on the product. I figure it cant hurt.
