I just purchased my 04 G35x with only 30k on it and decided to change the cabin air filter. Look what I found!!!

that thing is disgusting. Glad you changed it! I need to do mine.

Lol @ the piece of glass in the last pic

Wtf.

lol, that's a lot of mouse sh*t

Mine will be soon now.!!

lol that is super nasty, how exactly does it even get THAT dirty? i checked mine about 7k miles ago and it was clean.. maybe it due for another check up haha

Well, with 30k, the car pretty much sat a lot....and as a result, a feisty little critter made a nest in the HVAC box on top pf the filter.

These things do get dirty fast. I do mine every spring and it's always black

wow that's gross

Yep, it smells like a cat urine mixed with baby powder. I still wonder how the piece of glass got in there ... ????

also, I did a vent clean for 1 hour straight with lysol spray.

nasty! lol

Wow thats pretty nasty.

A critter got in there?

Seriously if thats rodent dropping I suggest doing a proper disinfection of the vent and other areas.

You could be breathing in those droppings long after the filters been changed.


Did I mention thats just effing gross.

I wouldnt be able to drive my car if thats what my filter looked like.

Haha, +1 for sure!

Hey, hyperwhite. Where on the East Coast are you located if you don't mind? I just picked up a fairly low mile 05 X and I'm assuming I may need to do this now as well. Oh, and do you have the part number for the filter?

I'm located close to the philly area. I went to a local Walmart and they had it in stock at the auto parts section for around $16. I've never seen a filter this nasty b4 in my life.. I lysoled the crap out of the vent system. LOL

And I thought my gf's car was bad for having a pile of leaves in it.


Hopefully the critter didn't come with the car.
