Just bought your LS check your in cabin filter!!

I think I have the original in mine from 1995

I just bought the car a couple of months ago and I'm trying to bring it back to its former glory
I think this is the worse one I ever seen!

Yuck!!!
I check ours regularly because the Mrs. has allergies. About every 7K when the oil is changed I open it up. I use the 3M Filtrete Ultra Allergen in ours.

i was just gonna say the same thing, you using AC filters for the car haha but i know the price on home filters are much cheaper!

to the OP, your cabin filter is filthy but you may have a carbon filter which is a dark gray when brand new already so it could look like it's super dirty. regardless, that baby needs to be tossed!
