Air Filter change interval?

[MPG_LOL]

How often should the air filter be changed? I've had the car for about 25,000 miles and have never changed the air filter.

The car is running great, but I figured I would see if it's due for a swap since I've been good about changing the oil frequently, and changing the rod bearings every 5,000 miles.

Appreciate any input!

Factory interval is every other oil change, IIRC. Check the owner's manual and it will be listed in there.

This assumes the regular OCI and that you don't constantly drive on dirt roads or whatever. If you're doing very frequent oil changes, you can probably push the air filter out to every third oil change or whatever.

In that case, you could probably change the air filter every 4th or 5th oil change. That would still put you ahead of the factory schedule.
