I know that it says that it should be cleaned every 50k but... does that sound right?

Default Since the air filter helps your car "breathe"....

I either clean it every other oil change or every third oil change. The last time I took my car in for service the tech said that they are good filters as long as you keep them clean. It also depends on where you live and on what type of roads you drive on. Might sound like thats too often, but it probably doesn't hurt to clean it regularly.

Default I consider myself very particular...so I cleaned mine after 20K

It didn't need the cleaning. 50K sounds fine and when I plan to do the next cleaning.
