Great guide thanks!

Just spent and extra 15 min while doing my oil change and replaced the Cabin Filter along with the engine air filters.

$380 for the 15K service my ***. Did it all myself for less than $100 and the only thing im missing from the service is replacing the wiper blades. Which i could do myself for around another $40-50 but i dont think they need to be replaced yet.


FYI, I ordered my filters from that AutoPartWarehouse that many of you have been talking about. Fast delivery (2 days), and parts were what i ordered. OEM air Filters and the Cabin filter was the Carbon one for $20.

It is not a perfect fit.. Its about 1/2" short in width that the OEM cabin filter, but it comes with some foam tape to help fill the gap. I put it in anyways and tested with the HVAC system on to see if air was leaking around the gaps on the sides and everything seemed to be all good.

Very happy with the money I saved

Nice DIY. I'll start on this next month. Haha dang they jacked up the price of the filter at AutoPartsWarehouse. Oh well, $26 is still better than whatever it'd cost at the dealership.

I did find this on eBay. It does say it's a carbon filter as well. Anyone have any experience with this brand? It's only $17 shipped.

Unfortunately, I checked autopartswarehouse, and they don't have the carbon filter listed anymore. Maybe we bought them all They still have the regular filter and genera filter (which is still covered in charcoal like the carbon).

Since they're sold in pairs, got an extra one you'd want to get rid of?

I would give you my second pair if I still had it, but I dropped it somewhere when I was taking pictures for the DIY.

Are they plain jane filters or the activated charcoal ones?
