Ken4555 1st Gear May 23, 2011 Author Share May 23, 2011 if u want to save and still use a good filter, get 3M air con filter that is meant for your house air con. one big piece, u cut to size and slot it in. the entire big piece can last u for a very long. Every 2 months, just throw and use new one. its better this way coz u will always have fresh filter everytime. those OEM filter or even original filter, u are using it for 1 year. that means you are breathing those trapped dust in the filter for 1 whole year. u say its healthy or not? ok make sense... thanks... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk 1st Gear May 23, 2011 Share May 23, 2011 Sunny N16... my glove compartment has a sticker says that i can take out the airc0n filter and wash... but last year i has changed to a so called charcoal filter... took it out last nite (after a year+) and wah piangzzzz... soooooooooooo dusty... i spent hitting it on the ground for a minute and still got dust... looks paper like... so didnt wash... asked a nissan parts dealer at kaki bukit and a new filter cost$39... hv no idea if its the correct market price cost the guy told me $30+... i then asked 30 what? and he hestitated and then said $39... so i said thanks... in the end sprayed some disinfectant on the filter and put back in... any commendations on what and where to get a good filter?... would like a re-useable one.... think OEM is re-useable?... thanks I washed my air-con filter many times liao. Trust me though is paper but if you flush with water and not soak it is ok one, all the dust will just washed away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chpeck Clutched May 23, 2011 Share May 23, 2011 What has COE gotta do with changing aircon filter? Assume an average person is owning this average 1.6 - 2.0L Jap car, with total cost of ownership per month to be apprx $2,000 i.e. $66.67 per day based on the current COE. This person drives about 2 hours per day and each hour in the car is about $33. Air con filter is $39, are you going to drive around whole day to look for one costing $30? My car average about 8.5km/l on expressway and 6.4km/l in town and I wouldn't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
