For a charge of $112 at the dealer as a part of my 60K mile service, they'll change it out for me - although it was supposed to have been done at other times previous - it's obviously never been touched (as evidenced by the pristine, intact gray plastic piece). I did it myself in under 20 minutes with almost no trouble at all. My husband didn't want me to do it because he was concerned about me cutting up part of the car, but how else to get the thing out, either by me or the dealer?? The filter was warped and dirty with lots of damp leaves in there. I used a can of compressed air (like for my computer) to blow everything out. Thanks OP for saving me big bucks!
