You can try cleaning and washing the one you have. Otherwise you are going to pay that price for the filter. The one you buy at the dealership is not that same one that is in your car, it is made a hell of a lot better and can be cleaned without it falling apart.

i wahsed mine and it became shapeless. i just took 3m home furnace filter, and cut it to shape of the oem one. i put it in, and it worked great. the one i got was filtrete hypo-allergenic. it has a metal mesh on the outside to keep the filter shape. it was around $15, and i can use it for about 4-5 more filters for my car. it is not as thick as the oem filter, but for 15 bux, i can change it twice a year, and still come out way ahead.

is this idea of changing the in cabin micro-filter a necessity, how do you know you need a new one? whats the point, when people say"i replaced the filter and now it works great" like what difference does it make.
