Took my Sorento in for an oil change and to get one or two minor concerns checked.
As it is up around 15k miles the dealership decided to do a "multipoint checkup" which turned into the service writer bringing my air filter out because it was "dirty."
I asked if something had changed, if the filters were no longer good for 30k like the manual said. Of course he said no and I told him to just leave it and I would have it swapped at the appropriate time.
Anyway there's a reasonable chance that before I started reading this forum regularly I might have had them swap the filter just because it definitely did look dirty. At least I know the filter is doing its job.
So knowledge gained here saved me at least a few dollars today.
