Re: Clean or replace your own cabin filter, improve air flow & save a bundle

This is a very simple install. I think the maintenance minder had me change at around 27k miles.

That post was one of the best ones yet!!!! I love it when you do not have to take it to the dealer. What is the price for this item?

Does K&N make a high performance low restriction replacement filter for this application? I hear it would increase the horsepower of the A/C

Re: Clean or replace your own cabin filter, improve air flow & save a bundle

Our parts department said it cost $40. HandA could get our business with that savings. If anyone finds it cheaper, post and let the rest of us know.

Re: Clean or replace your own cabin filter, improve air flow & save a bundle

Thanks for the great pics. When I did mine, I thought I had put the filter upside down. The filter has an arrow that shows the direction of air flow. Your pics confirm that it is to point down. I use a pair of needle nose pliers and a flat head screwdriver to pull out the glove box stops.

Wow Pam! What a ROC-in great post! Did Harold get a new service manual? Thanks for saving all of us a ton of money on this simple maintenance step and for the excellent step by step photos as well!
