hi rizbel, nice DIY..
where is exactly this filter box located??..
i have problem with the AC, seems like the outside odour somehow manage to get inside the cabin..
no matter i push the auto cycle or cabin cycle, i still can smell the gas from a diesel truck front of me..
its noticeable when the car stuck in traffic jam.. so thinking to replace the cabin filter..

I just replaced the microfilters myself which was long overdue. This is gotta be the easliest DIY maintenance, I've ever done. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. And I saved myself almost $150. The stealer wants $190 for this service, I said "No, thanks." and then ordered the OEM filters from eBay for $42 shipped.
Thanks Rizbel for the DIY instructions.
