Its true about not cleaning it and causing the CEL to come on because, unfortunately for me, my other woman is flashing that yellow light at me....
I just whisper to the gauges in a small voice: its ok baby, I know you want to feel fresh but we are trying to make it home after work and I am tired, OK?? Lets just make it home and I promise I'll clean you when I get sufficient time....
But seriously people, it is important to clean and lubricate the filter to prevent damage to the motor from just a little fixable issue.
