I have changed the oil at 61020 kms yesterday and also replaced the cabin air filter.

That looks nasty! Do you park outdoors?

No, I always park inside the garage. It shake me when I pulled it out, since everyone said Vancouver's air quality is good.

Thanks to the inspiration of honsonwong I also changed my cabin filter. 102,000 miles on the original. I got it from Amazon for $15. It took about 4 minutes.

It's amazing how fast the cabin air filter gets dirty. I replaced mine less than 1.5 years ago and it's now filthy. I think it's somewhat of a yearly replacement item if you park outside a lot or drive often.

Agreed. I just replaced mine after about a year and it was looking pretty dirty. I put a Fram FreshBreeze filter in this time, and was a little worried because it had a strong chemical smell the first couple times I drove it. That seems to have gone away now though.

It's halfway through the year and I noticed I have only put 2,300 miles on my Kizashi, which is the same amount as I've put on my motorcycle. It's going to be a long time until I hit the 100k mile club.

Hey BLyons I will probably buy a Fram FreshBreeze as well. Do I have to look for a specific one or just the generic one should fit? I am on the Canadian Tire website and it indicates it won't fit the 2012 Kizashi. It probably fit, but you need to cut it...right?

I can answer this one as I replaced my cabin filter w/ a Fram Fresh Breeze too.

All you have to cut off is the little tab sticking out and it fits perfectly.

Exactly what he said. I think it's listed as being for an Aveo.
