very dirty air fliter

I just pulled my air filter, and it was very dirty, seemed to have a lot of moist carbon/oily crapp in it as well as a lot of bugs. My vacume indicator on the filter never indicated out of the green. How much does it take to pull the indicator out of the green?

I could pull mine in with a new filter so I tended to ignore it. Yours may be stuck.

Sounds like a normal dirty filter. I run Napa Gold/Wix 2846 air filters and my filter minder has never moved even after 20,000 miles.

I would ignore the filter minder as they are pretty much useless.....Thats why Dodge stopped putting them on the trucks around 2008.

I'd kind of be worried about the "moist oily crap" on an air filter... but that's just me.
