Default when to replace the air filter?

According to Audi official maintenance schedule for A6 C6, it stated to replace air filter at 55 and 95k. Am I reading it correctly? I never know air filter can last that long without replacing.

Please advise...

Have you seen the size of the filter? It's quite massive I've taken the box and opened it up and vacuumed out debris in it, but mine looked ok after 20K miles.

The recommended service interval for the air filter is every 55K miles, no time limit. The maintenance schedule only lists changing the air filter at 55K miles, not 55K and 95K miles for the C6 A6 9at least the 2006 schedule). So, I use the 55K mile interval between changing the filter.
