Filter out the mess

Cabin Air Filter
A dirty cabin air filter. Look at that feather!

FILTERS ARE important to the car. There is an engine air filter in the intake and a cabin air filter (“Pollen filter” in Europe) to keep it nice inside. Both filters are really easy to get to. Today I replaced both with the car at 103,750 miles. I’ll do the same in a year! These German filters came from eEurope parts.

Other filters include the fuel filter and oil filter. They will be covered in future maintenance pages.
