Please change your Cabin Filters!
Most people probably have done this or probably know that it would be good for you, but I chose to wait until I started to have trouble breathing until I finally bought these. I have 50K on my car and I just ordered 2 cabin filter replacements from HandAaccessories.com. They have great service and fast shipping. The total came out to be about $26 or something, well worth it if you're concerned about your health. After I put them in I noticed a big difference (cleaner breathing air, and not as much dust). Here is a pic to convince you.
If you haven't changed them and you have 40K miles on your car, now would be a good time.
Link to HandAaccessories.com where you can buy them for $26 shipped

Rep Power: 0 Driving around CA where Smog is required, the air is bound to be dirty (Especially in LA). I guess it depends on where you live.

Rep Power: 310 I've been planning on changing it for a few weeks now...
Cabin air smells like putrid milk... lol
It has 29k and 14 months now.
And, yes, I have logged all miles... and it was resting for 2 months and a half without mile-logging... lol

Rep Power: 0 I wouldn't trust a vacuum to remove things like mould or potentially stink-producing microrganisms from the filter.
Even if you don't use the fan/AC if you don't keep on internal circulation alone you still have air blowing through the vents, just from being forced into the ventilation system by the cars speed. Even w. the window open though, you get a lot of dust, now its just stuck all over the fabric of the seats instead. I drive w. my window down all the time and I notice if I smack the seats, a layer of dust comes off them all the time.

Rep Power: 0 Nah, vacuuming isn't gonna do anything. There's still gonna be crap trapped between the filter. The $25 is worth it.
I asked at Honda and they said it would be like $20 something each! I called BS and bought them online.

Rep Power: 388 at honda they are $25 a piece!! Fvck that. Get them off ebay or something.
I did mine about 5k ago and the AC smell i was getting is gone. It was a good thing. Change them, especially if you have allergies!
