You also have a vacuum type gauge on the air filter housing, with a reset button. But in my opinion I would at least look at it and make sure its still intact (had a squirrel chew through mine from the back side foam while camping in the woods) and at 25k miles and for $35, replace it.

My 21 does, it seems the 22's don't. Not sure when it was removed exactly. Both have the status in the maintenance information on the dash though.

I've seen/read stories where people have been shown totally crapped out air and cabin air filters, by dealerships and service facilities, in an attempt to sell a service. It almost appears that the shady ones must keep old filters by their toolboxes for just this purpose. So whenever I change a filter...air/oil/cabin...I always write the date of change on it with a sharpie in the hopes of catching someone, sometime. So far it hasn't happened to me. Maybe they've just been stories...

I inspect mine every oil change and change it every 3rd oil change (22500 miles) just to be on the safe side.
