July 8th, 2010 04:20 PM #21Ive been using this 3M filterette setup for a couple of months now. you just need a single layer for the filterette and another for the aqua filter. Actually, the aquarium filter will do, the 3m filterette is just added to trap the more minute particles that the aqua filter can't.

You can experiment with that, but personally I'd delete one of the two Filtrete layers - that should still be fine.
Two Filtrete layers like you mentioned might tax your blower's strength too much. It's up to you though; if your blower is still strong enough for your liking with the "sandwich" arrangement then why not.

You may not have known that such a part existed in your vehicle, much less if it ever needed to be changed. But still, a cabin air filter is an essential part of your car's ventilation system that removes pollutants from the air before they get inside the passenger compartment.

A cabin air filter is like a filter on a home furnace or air conditioner. It removes dirt, dust and pollen from air that enters the passenger compartment through the vehicle's HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) system. The filter also helps keep the A/C evaporator clean. This allows the A/C system to cool at peak efficiency and reduces the buildup of contaminants on the evaporator that contribute to the growth of microbes that can cause musty odors.
Which vehicles have cabin air filters?
Cabin air filters were introduced back in the mid-1980s in Audis and other European luxury vehicles. The first domestic applications date back to 1994 (Ford Contour & Mercury Mystique). Today, cabin air filters are found in almost 80% of all new vehicles.
The best way to determine if a customer's vehicle has a cabin air filter is to check your filter supplier's catalog or database, or to look in the vehicle owner's manual. Check the index for Cabin Air Filter, or look in the section that lists scheduled maintenance items.
Where is the cabin air filter located?
Most cabin air filters are located in the HVAC plenum assembly behind the glove box, or at the HVAC inlet near the cowl area at the base of the windshield in the engine compartment. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the exact location of the filter and replacement procedure. On some applications, two filters are used in a stacked arrangement. This allows for easier filter replacement in tight quarters.
Filter replacement typically takes 10 minutes or less on the easier applications. But on others, it takes longer depending on how much disassembly is required (the glove box or console may have to be removed to reach the filter). As a rule, no special tools are needed but care must be used to make sure the filter is positioned correctly and seals tightly against its enclosure.
How often should a cabin air filter be changed?
A simple OEM dust only filter should last 5,000 to 10,000 KM or 1 year depending on operating conditions. More frequent filter changes may be required in dusty areas, it should be replaced regularly. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for specific service interval recommendations.
More benefits
Cabin air filters help to protect your health by improving the quality of the air you breathe while in your vehicle. These filters trap a broad range of microscopic particles, harmful gases and unpleasant odors to help make your time in the car more pleasant and healthier.
Regularly replacing your cabin air filter can offer relief for asthma, allergy and hay fever sufferers. It also helps to protect the performance of your air conditioning system.
- This washable car cabin air-conditioning filter is designed to be re-used up to more than 5 times at every 10,000 kilometer intervals.
- This gives the user a substantial amount of savings as compared to using a Stock / OEM cabin filter which is completely disposable after every 5,000 kilometer of use.
- The filtration efficiency of this unique product is within the range of 25% to 60% without compromising the volume of air that will pass through it compared to a stock filter rated at 15% to 20% and is disposable immediately after a single use.
1. Remove the filter module from the car filter casing, normally located behind the glove compartment.
2. Remove the screw on the side of the frame.
3. Take out carefully the filter media.
4. Air, Vacuum or dust the filter from the bottom side up.
5. Spray it with water
6. Soap it (DO NOT SCRUB), dishwashing liquid can be used, do not use solvent.
7. Rinse and let it dry, force drying can be done but like other filters, air drying is recommended.
8. Insert the cleaned filter media on the frame and screw to seal
9. Insert the frame inside the filter housing and place back the cover
Notes:
v Though the filter can be re-used and washed, it all depends on how the owner would like to clean and how rough will it be washed to extend its serviceable life.
v It is important to keep in mind that to maintain your air conditioner filter more efficient the more often it will need to be cleaned.
v When it reaches its serviceable life, you just need to buy a filter element from your local supplier to replace the old one at a cheaper price and just insert it in the aluminium frame.

kung pareho cabin filter ng city sa FD then go to any auto supply shop and ask for a federal mugol brand na cabin filter repalcement specifically made for your car model P450-P500 lang compare sa OEM na 1k+.
