Last week I posted a thread about locating the low pressure inlet on my A/C. I was considering checking in and maybe adding freon due to a lack of cooling power. I "thought" I had also noticed a reduction in blower power/volume but wasn't sure. In the midst of all that I found threads about the cabin filter. So...I decided to look at and then replace mine.

HOLY GUACOMOLE! The difference is indescribable. It is 95 or so degrees here today. Previously, I would have had to have it on 3rd blower setting and the temp on 52...and still be a little warm. Now, I had to just now turn it down to the lowest blower setting and the temp up to 66...it was freezing me.

My filter was filthy, so your experience may vary, but I'd recommend that everyone that hasn't changed or checked theirs lately to do so. It is very easy to pull out -- heck, if you aren't sure if it needs to be changed, just turn it on without the filter for 5 minutes just to check.

My filter was only $25.

Its like I have a new car.
