I was wondering why all this cars don't come with the cabin air filter. Now, could it be possible that maybe the fact that they are being shipped across the Pacific have any affect? You know, months of salt water air going into our cars would degrade the filter and have a negative affect?

Just trying to find a reason why they don't do this.

BTW, I purchased a Wix cabin air filter before realize about the DIY. By the time I need a new one, I am definitely trying the DIY instead.

Im pretty sure it doesnt take months to get across the pacific!
20 mph=480 miles per day and the pacific is only a five thousand miles across=10 days.
Sorry but i thought that wuz funny.
Just checked mine=no filter. Owners maunual says "Cabin filter" (if installed)in the maintenance section.
