Mine looked that bad after 12,000 miles, all street driving. Changed the cabin filter in my wife Nissan Altima at 20,000 miles and it was even worse. Changed my Mustang's after two years and 6,000 miles and it didn't look horrible, but it was still pretty dusty for a car that lives in the garage and only goes out on the weekends. I now change the cabin filters every 10,000 miles on my F150 and wife's Altima. Las Vegas is extremely dusty.

I checked mine in my Chevy Equinox twice last year around 25,000 miles and each time it was plugged with mouse nest material. Checked it at 31,000 a couple of weeks ago and third filter was clean thank goodness.

I replaced mine a couple of weeks ago at 60K (less than 2 years), it was the second time. I usually do mine every year but I am glad I did it a couple of months early. It looked about like that one. They get dirty real quick...

I replace my cabin and engine air filter every 5,000 at oil change. And they are both in need of a new one. Image what the trans fluid looks like if you were to wait till fords recommended service interval. I try to get all the fluids,filters before they are expired. I'm adding to my maintenance costs I'm sure. But I always have clean fluids and filters.

Flip it over and use the clean side! Works for my underwear. What are y'all using? Just under 12k miles and ordered two of the Fram fresh breeze CF12150 from Walmart....received three CF12151. Did online return and they immediately shipped out....two more CF12151. After you get the wrong item twice they'll only refund. Ordered a couple Spearhead BE-150 but haven't gotten them yet.
