In Cabin Air Filter
 
2 Attachment(s)
Brz was purchased a few weeks ago (2014 model) and I am going through everything trying to get all the maintenance I can think of done to it. I just took out the in cabin air filter because my one from @FT-86 SpeedFactory comes in tomorrow.

This is what 2 years of not changing the filter looks like..... I would assume it works on the same principals as an in home HVAC system meaning if its a daily i would change once every other month at the least especially if you daily drive it. The more build up = the harder the system has to work to cool/heat the air.

My poor AC....

Doesnt look too bad for 2 years. I didn't change my first one for two years and it was black, I thought maybe the OEM had a carbon filter haha

Honestly I had my mustang for 15 years and never changed it or looked at it. Back in the day we never had these. They are gimicky IMO
