    Default Kinda OT, i worked on a 99 mercedes s320 today , had 3 cabin or pollen filters they

    were 24.00 for one, 180.00 for the charcoal combined dust filter and 400.00 for the straight charcoal, at 75k miles it specified all 3 to be replaced.. Needless to say the customer ok'ed the 180 and the 24 but decided not to replace the 400 charcoal filter...
