OEM air filter after 25K miles
 

Actually, I thought it would look worse than this.

What your air filter looks like all depends on where you drive.

would you say this one looked dirty, or was it OK to still use it?
 

The reason I replaced it is because I thought that the 40K mile air filter change interval suggested by Audi was a bit much...

mine looks similar =) 24000 miles coming up this week. I'm keeping it in lol

it's dirty. change it. it's &lt;$20. I change them at 20k.

Its not really all that dirty....There's no dust bunnies on top yet !!....lol
 

they're cheap to replace..so why not do it !!
