Honestly, I've never changed a cabin air filter before the MME. I don't know which prior vehicles had one and which ones didn't. With the MME I figured I'd be proactive and since the filter was not that expensive I'd just replace it. Car had 4000 miles when I pulled it. I was surprised at how dirty it was and the size of some of the chunks in it.

After seeing this I will replace it more frequently. You..............you do you

Wow, those are some huge chunks there at the bottom :p

Must be an island thing.

Perhaps. But everything comes from the mainland and when they can’t or won’t ship to Hawaii we usually get a “We can’t ship this item there” message.

Always surprised how many people change these so quickly. Vehicles never had these for decades, my 2013 F-150 doesn't have it. Manual recommends them to be changed at 20,000 miles. I can't believe this many people have 20,000 miles on their vehicles.
Depending on where you are...I know I NEED to change mine after about 6k...something something wildfires and pollen (both have been really bad around here).

We’ve had 2 very large fires quite near our place out here. New cabin air filters is not an idle pursuit.

Neither of those are above 42 pages in length though @GoGoGadgetMachE. Therefore, I think they’re exempt from forum rules in duplicate and repetitive threads.

Besides, it’s not like there’s a search function or something.

What?

Really?

Oh. Never mind.

:p

I would have swore cabin filter replacement was not at 20K miles but at 10K miles, which the wife has reached already while I have yet to hit 5K. But I (gasp) checked the manual and “Golly” (in best Gomer Pyle voice).

Guess she’s ahead of the curve now. But then, she always has been in my book. I’ll add to the voices that I ordered the Pureflow Cabin Air Filter PC99542X from Amazon. Two in fact. In case I someday reach 20K miles. Received them 3 days after I ordered.

Really?!?!? I thought 10k too ?‍♂

Oh well............... wife has the car on a short trip and will be home today, creeping up on 11k, so I'll pull the Pureflow and see what it looks like. then I'll decide if I need to stick to 10k or go with 20k

20K miles will be nearly 4 years for me, given the number of miles I put on my Fusion Energi. I think I will change around 4 or 5K and wash once a year after.

Filters don't really have to be changed at a given number of miles - they get clogged when they get clogged, which might mean 2k miles for people driving slowly in really dirty areas, or 20k for people who drive fast in very clear air and clean roads. I just check mine every several months, and these days, after fire season...

K&N Cabin Filters may be in stock - I got mine delivered today, even though it said a much later delivery date. Just make sure to get the one from Amazon and not third party sellers asking more!
