Looked it up and none my vehicles have cabin filters. Kind of disappointed. Read some preventive things though, turn AC off before reaching destination to allow condenser to dry etc. etc.

My inlaws old Nissan 97 Quest had a cabin filter and my 01 Frontier has one.

Absolutely change them, ... although many vehicles do NOT have them. I change mine every spring the moment I get my car out of storage ... I am a brand whore, & prefer Wix.

2003 Chevy Monte Carlo SS.

This is how it was in August 2011 when I first bought it, & it still had the OEM AC Delco in it ... car had only 43,000 miles on it ...

Luckily the filter had not been eaten/ripped through during its winter/garage storage of the previous (first) owners, & it was just a small "bed" for something right there on the top ... So a small bit of cleaning with the vacuum, some ArmorAll Wipes, & glass cleaner ... & the new WIX (!) filter was ready to go in ...

I will definitely be checking mine when I get the chance...03 Cavalier with 196k+ miles almost all parts original lol. So I am positive if I have one it has NOT been changed yet

No need to buy a new one. Take the filter out, clean it and put it back in. You will notice a difference; Air blows stronger and smells fresher. I took the filter out of my 01 Caddy Seville STS completely at one point for a few months but there were too many outside smells that were blowing in strong.

Just replaced mine.. Didnt look as bad as the one above but I never replaced them since I own the car cause they were ok.. Te engine air filter was bad .. I have pic.. Will post later

sometimes Loud is NOT pretty

Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.

Changed my wife's in her terrain. She was pretty disgusted, got to throw it in her face and say "THIS is why you do preventative maintenance". Now just need to do her engine filter also.
