there is an easier way.
instead of removing the glove box you can just open it past its normal location. almost every honda/acura ive worked on can do this in one way or another. Just open the glove box ![]() then press in on both sides like this. (i needed one hand for the camera) ![]() once you press both sides in enough the glove box should open past its stops. ![]() do the same to put the glovebox back ![]() ![]() much faster, and doesnt require any tools beside your two hands |

it really depends on the climate that you drive in, going 15k in a rainy environment the filter isn't going to show very little dirt. driving 15k in the city you never know how much build up is on that thing. I had an 06' Maxima come in with only 8k miles and there were pine needles and a little rats nest laying on top of the filter. With the filter being so easy to acces you might as well check it every oil change. It makes for a better driving experience.

It doesn't hurt to check. My car has 6,500 miles and I have not driven in dirty or dusty conditions. As you can see from this PIC, it looks like an abandoned rats nest with all the crap in there.
