Default Question to all you guys of EP3/DC5... Please answer!

I decided to take a look at my cabin air filters today... and they were gross!!!

I went to the dealership and got new ones and replaced them...


When was the last time you guys changed them or checked out the condition of them?

I changed mine out soon after I bought the car a little over two years ago. Thanks for the reminder, I should probably check it!

Perfect timing - wasnt there yesterday but now there is a $3 mail in rebate making them $11 on amazon shipped (if you have amazon prime).

very nice. i'm gonna order myself some off amazon for next time i change them.

did you order 2 or one? the picture looks like a package comes with 2 cabin filters?

you should change these every year if you drive your car daily.
cheap and helps your a/c quality alot.

wow mine were in rough shape!! glad I changed them out.

Just in case someone is still stumped on how to replace them, figured id go ahead and scan up the directions that came with mine. its about as easy as it gets.

dude go on amazon...
same price but free shipping and 100% trustable
and they have a "car checker" tells you if the part fits on your car or not.

i believe they are interchangeable but don't take my word for it.
