is there any reason you should/would change an air filter based mostly on time in service???...I have 2 years but only just under 10K miles on an air filter...it mostly looks clean but I realize sometimes that when you compare brand new next to old you see how really dirty your filter might be...in this case I have looked and brand new and my old one and they look similar but for a dirty spot on the older filter...
the filter brand mentions the filter should be replaced ever 12 months or 12K miles...the filter is not an OEM which shows 30K miles as the change interval...I've usually used OEM filters and despite the 30K claim, I've found them dirty prior to that mileage and replaced...this filter however appears nearly new color wise...
I am curious as to your thoughts and experience in this...
Thanks,
Bill
