Men do indeed drive Boxsters!

The recommended Air Filter change interval is at 40k mi. But, that assumes 'Ideal' conditions, which almost no one encounters.

Drive frequently on the freeway, dirt roads, past construction zones, desert, wet or humid climates, high rpms, and you need to shorten the service interval. How much shorter? Can't say, no interval has been established.

Personally, I'm comfortable pulling my paper filter every 10k mi. and blowing it out, from the reverse side, with compressed air. I replace every 20k mi.
