Spijun, is there a FRAM Model# equivalent to that?

Thanks,
Phil

RockAuto is another e-z place to look up parts like this. They have ~ 10 cabin filter offerings for the Q5.

If I run an oiled one can I get some additional horsepower from the air blowing into the cabin? Will it void my warranty?

I noticed the interior of this car was quite dusty at the end of this winter season. The filter I removed was from ECS Tuning ...their house brand. I think I'm going to look for better filters in the future. Again, RockAuto has a lot of choices.


I think this FRAM filter was ~$23.

Well, to be fair to the man who probably knows this car as well as, if not better, than just anyone on earth, the OP could be in a hot and very dusty area such as the desert Southwest, in which case the Middle East interval might be applicable.

Again, that is not the question that I was answering. My comment was not to the OP.
