I think the manual recommends every 15k. . . Around once a year should be good, I know I'm due for mine.

Yes, Honda recommends every 15K miles. Mine had 19K on it and wasn't too bad. But, once a year is probably a good thing. If you notice musty smells or really dirty filters sooner, then it couldn't hurt to replace as needed.

Yes.
LOL
Any air that comes out of your vents is going to pass through this filter.

I changed mine today after 27,000 kms. Now the A/C blows stronger as does the fan in general. A very good move replacing it. The old filter was a dirty blue, the new one is a bright baby blue. I could not believe it was the same filter, dirty it was.

Yes. I suspect that if the filter was never changed and became severely clogged it could cause premature wear on the blower fan.

Just curious, but, what is your cost for the filter?

i think its around 20 for me, lol i laugh cause they charge customers 89.95 at my honda dealership. I took one out the first time for this guy and showed him and the girl was at the desk and she said sir that would be 89.95 i was like whoa knowing that it took me all less than 3 minutes to take it out and install a new one.

cabin filter......no im not.....i know what honda charges CUSTOMERS. It probably cost like i said around 20. They charge for the service of it 89.95 for us techs to put in the cabin filters for the customer, otherwise it cost me to buy it myself around 20....not sure what the real price is for me with my discount i havent cared to check
