So I went to get an oil change at my mechanics last week and I asked him to change the cabin air filter, since I read about it on this great forum, and forgot to change it when I did the tune-up. Well, this is what he showed me:


I suggests that those of you with cabin air filters get them checked out or changed if necessary. I dont think anyone wants feathers and remains inside they're vehicle. This is the ORIGINAL 13 year old cabin filter.

 

mmm yummy.

hope he didnt charge you to change the filter, it takes about 30 seconds and NO TOOLS.

 

Where is filter located?

 

under the passenger kick panel. ur gonna see 2-3 wingnuts, unscrew those and you'll see the filter.


wow that is disgusting!! looks like some dirt melted on it lol.

 

Hi,

this filter did a hell of a job

Chris

 

holy crap....

 

if you go through the glovebox you don't even need a screwdriver, or to undo any wingnuts.

though i don't know if the 1LS is the same

 

nope u gotta undo 3 wingnuts to remove a cover or something. havent done it in a while.

 

Thanks for this thread, it made me change mine. Also, no wingnuts on my 1998.

 

My cousin had some rats build a nest in the Blower motor of his LX-470.

Talk about a mess!!
