Cabin filter OEM Mazda or OEM Nissan

Maintenance for our EVs: annual washer fluid and wiper blades; biannual cabin air filter

I have done zero maintenance, outside of wipers, one set of tires (because I hit a pothole) and cabin air filter, on my 12 year old Leaf.

replace cabin air filter recommended every 15K miles

Changed cabin filter twice myself.

Cabin air filter is something you need to replace periodically. $130 seems high but I have tried it myself and found it to be a PITA. I took it to a dealer, who charged something like $100 but it felt worth it to me.

Not nearly as bad as some of the others listed here, but absurd for what it is: cabin air filter for a first-gen Mazda3.

When I started dating my wife, I found out she was on the original cabin air filter in her car. Surprisingly the cabin air filter was relatively clean and looked nothing like the picture posted.

The cabin air filter is expensive because they're a shitbag on a Rogue ( and Nissan in general )

On certain mazdas (like my 2006, 2008.5 Mazda3, and 2015 Mazda5) it's NOT a 2 min job. It requires 2-3 hr yoga session to warm up to prep for the job, then another 2hrs trying to get in the right position as to not cramp up while trying to position 2 filters on top of each other in a space that only small children hands can access

Unnecessary. A few years ago a Mazda dealership suggested a bunch of work to me when I went in for an oil change, including some stuff I had done on my own literally a week before. I got a survey from Mazda and complained on it that they were suggesting bogus things that I know for a fact did not need to be done (e.g. they claimed my cabin air filter and engine air filter were dirty, despite being brand new).
