Air Conditioner Filter

[Corollo2003]

My Dealer is advicing me to replace my Air Conditioner filter at 40,000 Mile Service. Is it needed to replace the filter at 40,000 and if so how much would it cost me.

Thanks,
Chris

If you're referring to the air conditioning cabin filter located behind the glove box then, yes, by all means replace it. I replaced the one in my kid's '05 Corolla S as it was one year old in May. The filter was very dirty. If I remember correctly, I paid $29.95 from the Toyota dealer but I know that Fram lists these filters in their books but they aren't on the shelves at the auto parts stores yet. They gotta be cheaper than the above price. If you have anyone in your family with allergies, asthma, etc., then I whole-heartedly recommend that you change the cabin filter annually.

Thanks Bossman for your reply. I have changed the filter.

Thanks,
