Mileage between changing air intake filter
What is typical mileage between changing engine intake filters? No Track, no dirt road just normal freeway and City street driving.
Thank you
Thank you

For the engine air filter, the maintenance schedule says every 37.5K miles. I would check it at that point and if not dirty, adjust the mileage as applicable unless you are under warranty and worry that it could affect any claim you may have.

in a non dusty region, you will get at least what the owners manual replacement suggests

My 911 Carrera is eight years old with 13.6K on the clock. Last year I pulled the two original cabin filters and they looked like new. Just depends on where you live/drive...

The owner's manual also says to "inspect the engine air filter every 7500 miles" (page 307) likely with an oil change. Since I'm new to the car and it has 22k miles on it, I dutifully inspected the engine air filter. I found it kinda okay, but there was small particulate dirt in the paper pleats. So I will replace it early. Colorado is a rather dusty place. I feel a clean engine air filter is important to long engine life.

Your environment should definitely be taken into consideration. I live in an area that gets no rain for 6 months. Agriculture is big. So we have a lot of dust from plowing dry land.
I checked my cabin air filter at 11,000 miles. It was full of crud. So I replaced intake and cabin filters.

5100 miles on my 19 Z06. I already went through 3. Factory filter swapped to an AFE filter, swapped to the Jake intake. All absolutely unnecessary as far as actual dirt. A bug or 2 at best. On my DDs, I check every other oil change, so about every 12k miles. If heavily soiled, replace. Otherwise, blow out any major chunks (blow out, never in), place back into the airbox and go on with life.
