It's from a 2004 TL that had routine maintenance done by Acura and a local oil change shop... I'll find out if it was ever changed, might not have been. Plenty of mouse turds though, not too healthy.

Dang, that probably ties the one I changed out after I first got my TL a few years ago.
Mine was straight-up BLACK. There's a picture floating around AZ somewhere of it. Pretty disgusting.
Can't say I ever had mouse (or animal) poop though

I assume under glove box where most are

A cheap and easy thing to change. Definitely worth doing.

lol @ catfood pic. That's pretty awesome.
For timely filter changes I started using the subscribe and save method on amazon.. so every 3-6months I see a new filter

It's a legit program...my roommates and I do that for a lot of our common household stuff (paper towels, soap, etc) so it saves us money and it's less errands to run. So we never run out of those kinds of things 
I've never thought about it in terms of car parts, but that's not a bad idea...

Cabin filter every six months? Seems a tad excessive to me. Unless you're parked outside under trees all the time.

For my applications I think 6months is fine for the number of miles I put on my cars. Plus I have serious allergies and yep, also a good reason to have a new filter every 6months. Excessive not found.

I'll make this an annual event. My PO had let the car sit a lot for the last year so I imagine the mouse climbed in through the engine bay over the winter. Disgusting is an understatement. The car was very clean, didn't really smell but is better now.
