I replaced my in cabin air filter today after about 10k miles and I couldn't believe how dirty the thing was. I'm just using regular furnace filters cut to size to save some bucks and they obviously work. Check out the pic.
Wow! Mine wasn't nearly that bad after 15k! Do you drive down abandoned coal mine shafts or something? That's a good idea with the furnace filters. At around $30+ a pop for the filters, you could get a lifetime out of $30 worth of furnace filters!
I was changing my diff oil today and I thought I'd better check it out. I couldn't believe it either. The only thing I can think of is we've had a very bad fire season with lots of smoke in the area.

Dang Gixxer.....I think maybe you aughta consider taking a bath every once and awhile ..... I don't think my '04 XE has a cabin filter.... My nose hair filters out all contaminents and a couple of times a week I unroll them outta my nose, brush 'em off with the wifes toothbrush .... then roll 'em back up and shove 'em back in .... I wonder if maybe I aught to oil 'em up with some of that K&N spray oil ??
