When you should change an air filter has nothing to do with how many miles you've driven on it. You change it when it gets so dirty and clogged up that air will not easily pass through it. How fast it gets dirty depends on your driving conditions. The more you drive on gravel and dirt roads or off-road, the faster the filter will get dirty. Some people can go 40,000 mi. or more before needing a new filter (or before needing to clean a cleanable one) and some people can go only 3,000 mi. or less. Look at the filter. Then bang both sides on a flat hard surface to get off as much dirt as you can. If you can see through the filter media when holding the filter up to the sun, and if, when you put your mouth against the filter media and gently inhale you can easily inhale air through the filter media, the filter should still be good.
