Aircondition Filter Question
Do we have an air condition filter in our C5s? My parents have a 2000 DTS caddy that had one that started comming apart, and unfortunatly the pieces went into the A/C system and messed the whole thing up, and ended up costing a few thousand bucks.. 
Do we have this?

Those seem to be more of a luxury car thing. I had one on my Lincoln LS. Seems kinda a BS thing to me, I don't really see the need, But as stated above you don't need to worry. C5's don't have one.

Awsome, good to know. My dad pulled out the air filter for his 2006 STS and it was dirty as hell (hes got 40k on it though), just suprised at how much back and grime was on the filter. I hope we're not breathing that stuff in since we dont even have a filter...

In-cabin filters are big profit items for the stealerships. I replaced one in the wifey's Acura. Took me 30 minutes (first time learning curve) and $27.00 for the part. Acura boys wanted $109.00. Hmmm? I'm in the wrong business.

Ecklers sells a $11 foam filter that you place over the air intake at the cowl. I am on my second one. It works !

I use one, while it doesn't really filter fine dust, it does keep the leaves and big crap out of your udders and away from your AC ducts
