Dirty cabin air filter????

Thanks for the info .....

 

Yep, kinda scary isn't it?

 

If you click on the Cabin Air Filter mod link in my sig, you can see exactly where it is behind the glovebox.

 

We never changed it on our Honda Oddessy. That could be why it stunk when ever you used heat. I have the washable one in my truck and a free one the dealer gave me that sits in the house(they said it came with the maintenance).

 

was just thinking about changing mine since it's been ayear since ive had it.....but only has 3500 miles since me owning it LOL

yeah i know....3500 thats it

 

its cheap enought to change. Plus all the air i was breathing i dont thik was actually getting filtered anymore. LOl. My girlfriend has a toyota camry and her cabin filter was just as dirty as mine. Prob had not been changed since the car was made in 06..

 

I just got a couple of filters from Logical-Source.com, they look exactly like the stock Toyota filter that came out of the truck. I just changed mine @ 25K, it was dirty with some small leaves and junk in there, but it looked white or new compared to yours. I am garaged kept which may help, and have not been down many dusty roads lately. I guess my filter would have eventually looked like yours after 5 yrs!
Did you notice any performance loss with the AC/heat system or notice any "musty smells" with the filter in that condition?

 

I remember when you didn't have to buy filters for cabin air...if you wanted air you rolled down the window.

 

I change it after every Oil change, but lately it has been around every 5k. When I first bought my truck I didn't change it until I hit 10k, and it was completely shot. I recommend every Oil change. There is also a Mod that you can make a RE-usable cabin air filter using a filter for your home.

 

that's a damm good price. how are those compared to the factory ones? The stealership wants almost $40 for them. I will definetely look into those.

thanks for the link

 

Same part, cost just under $18 for two filters shipped

 

just ordered 4 of them. I was only going to order 2 but the shipping price is the same for 2 or 4. I was charged 23.82 for all 4 shipped.

 

Just left the dealer today and they told me mine needed to be changed at a cost of ~~~~~~~~$49~~~~~~~ WTF. I laughed and told the lady to put it back and I will deal with it.....They are NUCKIN FUTZ..............
