DUH.... I already pulled and cleaned it at 5K silly me thought it was the fresh air vent filter. If I had only known it was called "activated charcoal filter for the A/C" which begs the question what is it called if you have a PURE with no A/C.....

20k adds air cleaner element, brake fluid (must be DOT -3 to need it done in 20K), car key battery, grease hinges and locks of door and hatch.

The rest is visual inspection.

and where exactly is the "activated charcoal filter for the A/C" located.

Page 304 in the Owners Manual: Brake system All models 1.05 US qt (1.0 l) Brake fluid (DOT 4+)

I did the 10k mile oil change myself for about $50, the oil was a bit expensive but that's just because its mobil 1 :P as for the carbon air filter, its in the drivers foot compartment right behind the pedals, there is a forum on here somewhere about it, anyways. Its basically a little door that pops out and you pull out what looks like a little air filter, save yourself some money. The local dealer (3hrs away in chicago) quoted me $50 for a new one. Found out I could go to walmart and get one that fits and works for $12. Cheers.

Hey, fishrailroad - could you share just a little bit more of that information, please? What exact filter did you get at Walmart specifically? It's kind of a big store to just drop the name of the store... Thanks in advance.

CF 10132 = Fits like a glove (regardless of what they say !!)

Thanks Chief, that's $18 at a local auto store. Which is VERY good compared to what the dealer wants, obviously. I'd still like to know what fishrailroad found at Wally World for $12 though?

I've replaced mine twice with the following. It's $19.70 from Amazon with free shipping (orders over $25) and no sales tax. I bought it with some Mobil1 oil and filters to get the free shipping and a $15 Mobil1 rebate.

Thanks rfernatt and Chief, I'm just wanting to hear more of that $12 song fishrailroad is singing. Things are tight since we added a $400 car payment for my wife recently, doncha know.

I was never sure about that one since Amazon says it doesn't fit and it doesn't mention smart in the description. But, hey, if it fits, it fits!
