I have a stock air filter that I replaced about 5k/7months ago and today I happen to look at it and noticed quite a bit of dirt and seems it needs to be cleaned. Most of dirt/grime seems to be on the right bottom corner for the filter looking at the installed filter standing at the front of the car.

I noticed similar dirt concentrated on the right side when I replaced the old air filter. Anyone has seen similar accumulation?
or its just me? Is it normal?

Normal... all the air is rushing in and moving from left to right, so the dirt will naturally end up there.

chinee,

Thanks make sense now the duct on the left side let most of the air so it has to go left ot right. I just thought the front openning must let a lot of air in too, but I guess not.
