Default Air Filter

How often do you guys change your air filters? i haven't yet since I've gotten my CAI, and that was aboue 5-6k miles ago. I'm thinking about getting a K&N, also what kind of oil filters do you guys get? Oil filters must be changed after every oil change, correct? There are oil filters, cabin and a/c filters, and air filters, what other kind of filters are there? Thanks

but do change them after a couple of year tho', yes yes, H&R said it's reusable for life but get real, it would be good after couple of year.

oil filter need to be changed each time you change the oil.

from 6th gen on, there's a cabin filter, it's working pretty well for me.
do replace them tho, they get real dirty if you live in the city alot.

fuel filter, tranny screen filter, oil, air, there's even a brake fluid filter for some high end acura

6th gen cabin filter sounds cool..although I've heard they can turn for the worse and create some sort of musk/stink.

actually they stop the musty stink from coming out of your vents sooner without a filter you would smell that stinky stuff much earlier..
you should replace those cabin filter about once a year -year 1/2 or so
