i have yet to change mine. and it has been about 5 years since the car came from the dealer used. and i know the previous owner did not. i did not know they had cabin air filters ( k&n that is ) now that is attention to detail. i need to reavaluate some things and step my game up. reading those instructions, i feel slow...

 

Will do this next week....

 

I changed my Cabin Air filter this past weekend. Easy.....
I got mine from NAPA. Their filter has a little more foam padding
around the edge which made for a tighter reinstallation. I also took
the opportunity to clean the area of dust and road grime. The flter
itself, was pretty dirty. The 1st owner probably never knew they had
one. The price was $15.04.
Now maybe my Fan Motor will gain 5% more HP.....? LOL !

 

Did mine and boy, was it nasty and gross! Full of dirt and pet hair. I guess that's what I get for keeping my cats in the garage. Got a FRAM replacement (with Baking Soda) from Wally world for like $15 dollars. Going to check my wife's Maxima soon as well.

 

Did mine saturday morning, the replacement is an STP from Auto zone. Judging by the picture, I still had the stock filter in there. pretty nasty.

 

Hey guys and possibly some girls, take from a guy who does much more than cabin filters on a car for a career it's easy to change a cabin filter in 2000-2005 monte's it's the same procedure on most of the GM larger sedans and coupes. A great filter brand is called Professionals Choice and comes with a great instruction sheet for the DIY. Much cheaper than the factory filter also. Pn: cf1012

 

do all 6th gen montes have cabin filters? i nerver changed any cabin filters in none of my montes and now im on my 3rd 6th gen LoL

 

Yep they all have it. :P

YUCK

 

just changed mine and wow no more musky smell when you start up the car! walmart sells one made by Fram that has baking soda in it somehow.

 

I think I need to do this. Maybe today...
