I did mine last month. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. I expected it to be much worse since mine has more than 90k on it.

Previous owner must have changed it already

I did mine as routine matenance, also sprayed some of my favorite colgne on it before I installed it. Everytime I use AC or the air can you guess what it smells like? Presto, polo colgne haha the ladies love it!

Follow the DIY guide https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=145495

The 'socket to remove the weather stripping' trick is awesome.

Mine was quite dirty at the prescribed 30k change.

I sprayed some Lysol in there to help clean / remove odors.

I don't care to. Heck I smoke and drive around in LA smog, changing the filter's not going to save me.
