    I would show mine but i just washed it out 2 days ago. now the air smells much better.

    how long has it been for you to build up all that in your filter?

    I think I got you beat. Here's the one from our Matrix at 85K miles:

    We bought the car with 45K on it and I'm not sure it had ever been changed. Just bought our Taco (with 49K miles) and that is something I should check out.
