Changing air filter

11000 miles? Just blow the dust out with compressed air and put it back in.

$75 for an air filter, I hate to ask about the oil change cost.

What do you recommend---Margarita or Rum and Coke?

Should be able to do that with one eye closed and one hand around an adult beverage. ;)

Good to have on hand, a spare OEM air filter is an easy replacement. Just keep it in the box until you remove the old filter - hold the old filter up to the sunlight and see if you can see daylight through the pleated media. If you can still see the bright light, your filter is still doing it's job. When dirty, it won't permit much light at all. This is a good benchmark to check the condition of your air filter.

True, if it's a E450 with the V-10, it's a very simple 2 minute job, I forget the cost at WalMart, but I believe it's less than $20 IIRC, certainly NOT a $75 job, (unless perhaps you have a K&N filter).At 11,000 mi., you must be driving all Dry, dusty,dirt roads. :h
