Hmmm, I am curious to know the answer aswell.
Chances are your filter is simply not as effective anymore because the activated carbon is probably "saturated." Or maybe I am am confused and it does not work that way at all...just a guess. And from my fishtank cleaning days, activated carbon can only go through so many washes/filter cycles. I skipped buying the 60 dollar filter and instead bought the engine air filter on my last trip to the dealer.

Yes, you are cheap.
 $60? Buy a non-OEM generic replacement. Somehow, I don't think that washing a disposable filter is very effective.

They had these Mann filters with charcoal on Amazon for $23 bucks a month or two ago.
If you are really cheap, you MAY be able to wash them by hand as long as you let them dry completely before using. It sounds like power washing may be pretty harsh on the filter material. I wouldn't wash mine. One and done.

Interesting info about the cabin filter.. I will have to read the manual and see when it supposed to be replaced .. I cant tell the difference in air.. Its just hot here .. And enjoy your trip to va beach. If you need some excitement go to ocean breeze water park.. they have gokarts there. If you catch a breezy day mt trashmore is nice but they just had a report of 2 wolfs there about a month ago.

Saw them on one of our sponsors websites here for only 15 bucks.
Ebay even has them for 13 bucks and free delivery. But I think I might really cheap out and try washing mine too....or just blowing compressed air gently thru it! LOL.
