just did an oil change/filter look-see. The cabin filter was solid full of acorns.

This problem seems to be more pronounced in our locations this time of year when it starts cooling down outside - the rodents discover the engine bay is warm and decide to make a home there.. This may very well have occurred while the vehicle was in the previous owner’s possession. It is extremely difficult to keep the little critters out of any vehicle though.. I’m certain google will have some information about some remedies people have attempted. I’m in VA. just down the road a ways, so we have the same issues with the cooler weather's influence on this concern.
