air filter behind glove box

judacris · 08-06-2007, 11:48 PM

when i went to jiffy lube to get the 3000mi synthetic change I saw them take out this mysterious filter from behind the glove box. I looked through the manual afterwards but it only mentioned it... not how to access it. I was wondering if anybody knew the way to drop the glove box down to get to it

its a cabin filter. trust me, you dont need a new one unless air isnt coming out of the ac vents easily or if debris is coming out

Yeah that is the polem/cabin filter. By the way if you want to replace it it will cost you like 30+ dollars. I just change mine.

no dude it gets seriously nasty if you dont change it in accordance to the book. I had one in my corolla when i changed it was nasty as hell after like 35000 miles.

i looked at it after the 3000 mi change and i was gross they wanted to replace it but i felt like i should do it myself

mine was pretty gross after like 22000 miles. it was 30 bucks to change it and i put an air freshner in it and it makes the car smell so much better. just my .02
