How long will the pollen filter last?
I pulled out the pollen filter the other night, and after 3k miles it's looking pretty bad. How often should we change these things? I might go ahead and change mine every 5k?

Appreciate this info a lot -- very interested.
It's hard to really know about this subject. I mean, REALLY know. Hardly any of us know exactly what it does, much less how it works. It works silently and mostly without being appreciated; it's kind of like preventive medicine -- you can never tell for sure what it's accomplishing for you. And few of us have anything to compare it to.
For example, BTW -- Does anyone know if air from WITHIN the car gets filtered? Like, air that comes in through the windows or sunroof, or (e.g.) animal hairs that got in the car -- if you close the window and put on the A/C, does that stuff get filtered, or is it just air sucked in through the A/C system that gets filtered?
I sure as hell don't know. And my dealer wasn't sure either.

As far as I can tell the only air that goes through the filter is the air coming out the vents. The a/c brings air from the wiper cowl area, and that's when it's passed through the filter.

Well, you can set your air conditioning to two different settings, one that brings the air from outside and one from the inside. The one from the inside is most commonly known as Max AC. It takes the cold air from inside and recalculates it; this is the best one in my opinion. Then the regular AC takes the air from outside; this is where I can actually smell the exhaust from other vehicles at times, like when behind a bus. My car doesn't have a filter unfortunately, so I leave it on Max AC for I don't start inhaling fumes.

Mine only comes on when I first turn the A/C on. After that the automatic climate control shuts it off. It will come on if I set the temp to low.

But it doesn't mean we can't pull his chains a little.
