I took it today since I was cleaning the car.
Pictures made it look worst than it is.

Just grab a home ac filter around $5 or so from home depot/lowes/target..., 1" in height and cut to fit

I didn't get to do under the seat and the one in the trunk.

Sorry I didn't take an after picture.

 

" last only up to 90 days " J/K

Do they work well?

 

Hmmmm...interesting. I need to check mine. I especially need to do this for the one under my seat. I notice the fans on this one for the cool air don't seem as powerful as the ones in my 03 LS, which was literally like sitting on an ice cube. Probably just a dirty filter blocking air flow. Will be checking ASAP!

 

So far it seems to be working b/c there's more air blowing.
That's what made me to change it in the first place

Heck, for it being this cheap, I can replace it more often considering these are the craps that we're breathing!

 

I would guess this would last at least a year. Think of the volume of air a home furnace would produce and the amount of run time. I would guess if a home runs 8 hours a day vs 2 hours in a car, that alone would be 4 times as long as the 90 days, which makes it a year. Then the volume of air passing through the home vs the car would easily double that to 2 years.

I may try this mod myself when min filter gets dirty

 

I was just kidding him.
I expect the filter will last longer well over 90 days for sure. For me, probably 2 yrs since I only drive each of my car average 3000 miles per year.
I checked mine, it was DIRTY! Gotta do mine asap.

 

watch those dealers,, the OEM filters are a dark color and they have been known to just show it to you asking if you want this dirty thing changed,, most people always associate the filter material being white and when they see the dark one they think it is filthy when it is not,,

How do you change the one under your seat? Where exactly under the seat?

Thanx

 

I have replace the A/C filter in my glove box, but I can't find a place to reset the replace a/c cabin message in my dash. I have a LS 430 02 UL
