    My mechanic wanted 40 for the filter and over 30 for the labor...I told him there was no way I was gonna pay that. Just ordered a few from the site below. Where do you get that plastic filter and frame?

    You shoulda just handed him $30 bucks and said, "Hey buddy, I didn't know things were going so bad for ya. Here's something to help you out." Then just drive away.

    These suckers get dirty quick!!

    I have two filters that I swap back-n-forth. Pulled the original one at 10K miles. Put in a new one..... washed the original one.

    I'm at 19K miles and I just put the original (cleaned) one back in.

    Clean the other one and shelf it for another 10K miles. For me, that's yearly.

    Do you clean them the same way I do? Or do you have a different method?

    Never knew about having no cabin filter in 05 until last week when dealership told me.:mad: They asked for $75 parts and install. I declined and bought one from Autozone for $30.

    After reading this post, I felt bad spending $30. I should have searched TW before jumping on this. :mad::mad: I would have saved some $ with DIY parts.

    Thank you Chris for this post.
