Question How often should engine air filter be replaced ?

Hey, just wondering how often should I replace the engine air filter. Have just changed the cabin air filter. To be honestly, I've never replace the engine air filter for 25k miles..

Also, what braking pads are you guys using, don't really want to keep using the OEM pads from Honda.

Also, I want to say, the RDX is really a good car, but really not suitable to drive in NYC...

the engine air filter does not need to be replaced unless its FILTHY and blocking air flow.

you can use any brake pads you would like

I'm using EBC yellow stuff brake pads and they are so much better over stock, I don't see how people can drive with the stock pads because in my opinion the distance is too great to completely stop the vehicle.

No kidding. Wanted to get the yellow stuff but couldn't make the appointment, so the wife took the car in. Wow, OEM pads suck when they are new.

Thanks ! Is the yellow stuff pads suitable for RDX ? I think I know someone is using green stuff pads and the red stuff pads is most known I think .
