Air Filter

Does anyone know where to buy the air filter?
I'd rather not pay the Dealer price.
Filter Heads sells the cabin air filter only...

Just curious, after how many miles do you change your air filter? Mine has 15,000 miles on it now.

I bought a Napa gold for about $17.

It's a tough call, because it doesn't get too dirty...depends on where you live...
15,000 is probably a good time to replace...it's cheep enough...

I think the manual says 25k . But as stated depends on your driving condition. Buy factory OEM

I order mine through advance auto parts online and have them delivered 4 at a time to my house.

Just received and installed a Fram filter for my Outback from Amazon. $7 with 2 day free shipping (prime). This was $5 less then O'Reilly's filter. Might be worth checking out Amazon for filters.....

A quick visual inspection of the filter will tell you whether it needs to be replaced, or just vacuumed a bit. Whenever I open the filter cover for inspection or to replace the filter, I use a shop vac to clean out the debris below the filter (the air comes up from the bottom of the duct leading to the filter, and often has leaves and other debris below the filter).

IMHO NAPA makes some of the best 3rd party parts on the planet. Fram, on the other hand.......... garbage..... wouldn't put one on a weed-eater.

Seriously, NAPA is a great filter whether it's for oil or air. OEM is always a great idea, but, sometimes you can buy better for less money. I wouldn't stress over it too much tho. Also, @ 25K, I'd say change your filter regardless of the type driving you do.

Hyundai recommends every 30,000 miles.

For my first round of CAI and cabin filters, I recently had them replaced by the dealer, delayed from 15k to 18,750k due to another epic pollen season here.

In the case of the 3.8 V6 Coupe in the US, the stock CAI air filter is hi-flow just like a K&N, because of the additional EPA "carbon" filter (which I've removed, for 10-20HP, thank you very much). Couldn't really beat the parts price, either. The engine air filter was $19.99 and the cabin air filter was $24.99, however, labor was another $35. The engine air filter is easy, of course, but for the overall deal, balance that labor charge against driving around town to find the parts, or paying for shipping to get them, then not having that special tool or whatever to get to the cabin filter, etc.

It also needs to be said, my dealer is a very good one, and I get other freebies from them, like nitrogen in my tires from day one and topped off anytime I want, which ain't nothin', as they say

Wow! You plan on keeping your car a looong time or drive a bunch o' miles

Done with that guy. Sorry all.

Nitrogen in the tires is pretty much a scam. It is paying for something that used to be free. Regular air is about 85-90% nitrogen anyway, so why pay?

True, air is 78% nitrogen, but it is that last 22% that gets you (oxygen and water vapor)... Pure nitrogen tires will hold their pressure longer and pressure will fluctuate less due to temperature changes. Both of these are good things that most of us would prefer. Personally, I would not pay for pure nitrogen, but if it were free and convenient, I would definitely choose compressed nitrogen over compressed air.

I live in the northeast. Tires dont stay on the car long enough to fluctuate pressure that much. Cold = snows and warm = summers.

But if someone lived in a more temperate climate, I could see this being beneficial ever so slightly to not at all....

Dry air is about 78% nitrogen according to info I have seen on the web. I am not sure if I would pay extra for nitrogen in my tires, but I don't think it is a scam either.

Costco filled my new tires with 100% nitrogen (and they refill them when they do tire rotations) at no additional charge. I was a little skeptical at first, but I have noticed that the tires don't loose as much pressure in a given amount of time as compared to filling them with air. I might pay a dollar per tire extra for 100% nitrogen, but I get it free at Costco.

Moot.

^ I always have wondered how the tire installer could remove 100% of the air in order to have 100% nitrogen. They would need to buy one of those food/luggage air removers as seen on TV, LOL. I'm doubting it's possible to get 100% Nitrogen, but if air is already damn near 80%, what's it worth to have another 10% higher Nitrogen content? Nothing I'd pay for, but if offered free I'd gladly accept.

 

[OneFunGenesis]

^ I have never thought about that! lol. In reality, it could never be 100% Nitrogen lolol
