Change your cabin air filter!

My "new" RL has 87K miles on it. I don't know if the cabin air filter is original or this is what it looks like with 87K but it was definitely time to change it.

 

87K miles - get ready for your 90K mile service, which includes the air filter if I'm not mistaken That air filter is mega dirty though!

 

CAFs are relatively cheap and easy DIY. I simply replace mine before and after rainy season. Keep in mind some premium CAF have embedded charcoal and will not be pure white when new. Your's however looks like a new life form has been created.

 

thats a lot of traffic smoke

 

Or cabin smoke.

 

Hookers...

 

They too can get pretty dirty.

 

mmmmm hmmmm

 

If the two filters in the picture were hookers, I would choose the left one.

 

What the hell happened to this thread?

 

^Don't worry, eat curry....

 

Don't worry Mike, it's just their time of the month.

 

this thread is a quick collection for your ignore-particular-posters list

 

What else were we supposed to post? "Damn, that filter is dirty," was covered in the first two replies.

 

So since you couldn't add any value to a thread about a dirty cabin filter... You two decided to join the ignorance.

I get it, you cant beat em, join em.

Hey Steve, block away... maybe you can go support they guys who own 6v cars.

 

I apologize for whoring your thread OP... and to make you feel better about adding value, here are the tons of other threads about cabin filters that you missed before starting this unique one.

Now that is a useful post Heavy. I only read the first one and learned how to replace the filter without taking the entire glove box out. Thank you!

 

I'm here to help, my friend.

 

Fixed.







OP, I didn't understand you needed help knowing how to replace it without removing the box. I would have gladly obliged since I made the same mistake on my wife's old Civic.

 

well played sir...
