Cabin air filter - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Finally got around to changing out my cabin air filter today. Had a replacement floating around in the trunk for about month before I remembered it was there.

Quick and easy job, took about five minutes. The old one was pretty nasty and had a surprising amount of what appeared to be cat hair in it. Didn't see any evidence of critters (past or present) in the airbox, but still thought it was odd.

I change mine about May of each year.

Yes, very easy to change. I replace mine every 20K miles. Matter of fact time to put in my new one that I have on the shelf.

Does anyone know if there is a reusable/rewashable cabin air filter available? I've been trying to find one.

New ones are fairly cheap and easier to replace than to reuse an old one.

Yes, I know it's easy I've done I've changed it before, but I was wondering if there is a reusable filter you can buy so you don't have to keep buying new ones.

You can buy in multi packs from Amozon for cheap, same filter as dealer. I change mine in the spring every year.

I don't think there is a reusable filter, but you can go to Autozone and buy a bunch of them for $11 each. I change mine once a year, but I don't live in a dusty area. I think changing it any more than that in a normal environment is a waste.

K&N has started to make them.
I'm sure they'll add HP.

They might be making washable/reusable filters, however they do not list any for the Camaro at this time.

That's for the hair-dryer mod, I suppose. My wife will be pleased!

Yah, I see that they have the option to fill out a form to special order/make a part, so maybe they can make one?
