I was reading in the how to section about cabin filters, does every 2001 have one? Also is a 2001 a 5th or 6th gen.? Thanks in advance.

 

2000-2005 = 6th Gen

Yes you have the cabin filter.

 

The Cabin Air Filter is pretty easy to replace.
You remove the Plastic Cowling from under the passenger-side windshield wiper.
There are a couple of Plastic Fasteners to release.
Once the Cowl is removed; the Filter is easily accessed.
The Plastic Fasteners are easily replaced by visiting a AutoBody Supply Store.

 

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys. Got the cabin filter out tonight, wow was it dirty. Parts store said they got a dust filter or for a dollar more they have a dust and odor filter. Hey whats a dollar haha Thanks again.

 

People would be surprised how disgustingly dirty the cabin filter is, if it's never been changed. Especially since most people don't know they have one.

 

I have a little over 50,000 miles on my 06, should I change my cabin filter soon??

 

I put my filter in this morning and on the box the filter came in they say change every 15000 miles but hey they want to sell filters. I would think every 50,000 Our car had 94,000 and this was the first filter change but it needed it.
