  1. My guess is (and it's only a guess) Cadillac came up with the cabin air filter idea after the Seville/Eldorado climate control was designed. As a result, I think they retrofitted it wherever they could. It's the only logical reason to put a routinely replacable item where it's next to impossible to replace. I'd be interested to know where the filter is located on the new STS.
  2. Just to clarify your point about cabin air filter replacement: I have read horror stories about how difficult it is to replace these on Sevilles and Eldorados and I'm sure your point is well taken. On 2000 and later Devilles, however, cabin air filter replacement is quite easy. The filter is located beneath an access panel under the hood, on the passenger side, just forward of the base of the windshield. The filters are kind of pricey ($45 at Pep Boys, $65 at dealers). When I replaced mine, I noticed a significant increase in air flow through the vents and they do help keep dust and pollen out of the cabin.
  3. I had mine Timeserted at 120,000 mi. while it was apart for head gasket replacement.
