When I changed the cabin filter in my previous car, there was the same black to white difference after only a year's use. I guess it depends a lot on the driving conditions, especially if you use it a lot in city traffic or any other high air pollution environment. Elsewhere it is more likely to get clogged by dust, sand, pollen etc. than by black exhaust and smoke particles.

Wow, that's a LOT less than what I paid at the dealership. I looked all over the web, but couldn't find a source for these (and it says these are Denso OEM filters too)......thanks for the heads up. The direct link is: http://www2.maximumautoparts.com/par...=null&dp=fa lse
