I finally got around to changing this, been meaning to for a long time.
dealers charge $20 for the filter and labor to put it in.

Home Depot sells 3m filtrite filters for $10 for the 1000s of $16 for the 1250 ultra.

Remove glove box. it just pops right out, don't be shy. behind the glove box is a white box with an end cap on it, remove end cap. remove filter. take used filter and trace the correct size onto the filtrite filter. cut. put new filter in with wire side up and reverse procedure.

One filtrite filter is enough material to make 6 - 8 cabin filters. save the original filter for future tracing.

voila! fresh air in the cabin.

you can also take your favorite scent of "TREE AIR FRESHENER" and put it in there on top of the filter.  whenever you click on the heat or ac you get a burst of FRESHNESS!

All I did was take the filter out and place it in the sink with some tide let it sit a little while, rinsed it out, let it air dry, good as new, then I took some essential oil (scent of choice) put a few drops on the dried filter, good as new, no $ spent. Happy Holidays!!!  naughty

i imagine you could only do this process so many times before the filter starts to break down.  I would just change it.
