Cabin Air Filter

Just changed mine and it was rather disgusting. Have about 60,000 miles on my car. Those who haven't changed theirs may want to look at these pics

How long did it take to change out?

Cost of new filter?

Good post!

Its easy to get the old one out. It gets a little tricky getting the new one in cause it has to go through a curve to slide into place. If I remember correctly a new filter runs about $30 or $40 dollars. I have yet to change mine only cause all the auto part stores around here don't carry them.

Good post!

The entire process took about 5 minutes. Haynes repair manuals FTW. New filters are typically $15-$20.

I will check, I think the filter is universal in all models.

Did a parts search for SS/SC, SS/TC, and base models through advance auto parts and they all came out to be:

Purolator Part #C35676

So it seems they are universal. There are just different brands.

I though it was supposed to be every 12,000 unless you use the recirc feature all the time.
