Air filter - how often do you change it?

[crogers106]

I recently changed mine myself for the first time (2002 986) with a filter from Pelican Parts. The cartridge required quite a bit force to slide and snap back in once I replaced the filter. I assumed this was because it was new. Anyone else experience that when changing filters?

Yes, it's a tight fit... I basically pulled the clip back on 1 side lifted up a tiny bit, then did the other side. Found it very hard to pull both clip and the cartridge out at the same time.
