Have You changed your interior filter in your vehicle ??

[LVSteve]

Took the wife's Camry into the dealer for servicing and when they tried to change the cabin filter they found a live mouse which they did not catch. They told me to put dryer sheets in the glove compartment to discourage such interlopers. Seems to work. I was afraid that the little bugger would die in there and cause a big stink but not a problem.

I had one getting in and out of the HVAC area in my truck. He bailed once disturbed, but a couple of months later some humidity arrived and activated his pee soaked in the filters. UGLY. When I removed the filters a palm seed dropped into the fan so "some disassembly was required" to fix that issue.

The funniest thing was that the mouse took refuge in my neighbors spotless garage and her car. It obviously didn't fancy getting lost or squashed in my garage.

Only vehicle I have with a cabin filter is my 2011 BMW 328i. BMW wanted $117 to change it... I did it with a filter that cost me $17.00 on Ebay in 5 minutes.

In the Chevy Impalas it's under the hood, just below the base of the windshield, takes 2 minutes to change. Good thing, too.

I only change mine about every 50k miles.

Filters get changed when the car goes in for "Service A".

Had a Nissan coupe that was a pain to change...numerous screws and stuff.

My truck takes less than a minute.

I can tell you don't live in the desert. I'm planning on changing mine after watching the F1 rerun. Last changed in January.

You got that one right.
