Hmmm, never changed a cabin filter; don't really see the point.

Interesting comparison... sorta' like oranges and baseballs.
Air and liquid are two different elements with obviously different functional properties However, no need to continue the debate... once again, 'to each their own'. For me, I'll change my car's cabin filter per manufacturer's recommendation |

Wishing you, Shipo, and all members a happy and productive day |
