HOW TO: Change Cabin Air Filter

This is the first change I've done. My car had about 23k miles on it.
Can help with giving you fresher, cleaner, and more breathable air. In some cases, can help with A/C.

You're the man!  Thank you!
Did you buy a new cabin air filter?  If so, how much and where did you get it?

I actually didn't change it at all. I was doing routine cleaning and just took it out to dump the stuff and clean it. :)

LOL...
How durable is our air cabin filter?  Do you think using an air duster would clean the air cabin filter?

Nope. I'd recommend just changing it. It's relatively cheap. If I was to get a new one, most likely the ebay ones. An air duster would definitely not clean it.

Just tried your direction today.  My air filter is still kind of clean.  There's not a lot of nasty stuffs in there.

Thanks for your direction!  It works great!  Yippie!!!

Just bought a TYC Cabin Air Filter off Ebay.  It's about $16 dollars including shipping.   ;D

Dealer wants to charge $80 dollars for replacing cabin air filter, what a rip off!  Now I can do it by myself for less than $20 bucks!

Sure, I can probably tell you about the fitment but I probably wouldn't able to tell you about the quality.

What can I say about the quality?  eh... the air blew out from my from the vent now smells very good?  hehe...
