Air Filter - Happy Blue!
Just had the Outback serviced. The garage ordered in the wrong air-filter. They could not get the right one for another day or so, but told me that the old one was pretty clean - and they had blown it out with air hose and put it back. Should I be concerned, or let it wait until the next service.

Air Filter - Screwloose

Most air filters are still servicable [after a quick blast] when replaced.

There's such a variation in vehicle operating conditions, that the manufactureres have to err on the side of profits.
