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 :lol:

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.

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

Is it a purchase from the GM dealer only thing?

Are those part numbers for ALL cobalt models? Not sure if they would have changed it in some year/time frame

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. :lol:
