Yeah, they have a cabin filter KK4, without it I wouldn't survive "pollen season" here. I change it quarterly. They aren't that much at the Autozone, and once you do it once, its a two minute job at most to change it after that.

Something to remember about the cabin filter.......

many aftermarket and OEM's are impregnated with charcoal, thus the dark gray color. It's best to remove and tap the filter on a work bench or floor to see if the color is from the charcoal or dirt. The charcoal will NOT dislodge.

SOME aftermarket and OEM's DO NOT have the charcoal.

You HHR guys are OK

I just went on the net and my 06 Harley f150 has 1 also.

Bet that has never seen daylight.

Now I have 2 to change.

KK4

UPDATE the 1996 Ranger has 1 also holy krap, who woulda thunk. NOT ME.

Now it;s 3 to change.

I am quite sure my 1969 gTx doesn't have 1. or maybe I should look?

Your link still works. However, the price has almost doubled since your August 2008 post. It cost $23.01 when I checked it tonight! I'm staying with the cheap, eBay paper aftermarket ones that are a "female dog" to squeeze into the space available. I bought four since shipping cost was a big component of the price.

I just received/installed a TYC cabin filter from Amazon. $8.25! I couldn't tell the difference from the OEM I removed (except it didn't come with all the dirt and crud).
