Doesn’t look horrible. I’ll bet your engine doesn’t notice the difference.

I agree, that filter is not that bad. Surely not enough to worry over. I probably would replace at the next oil change.

I replace air filters by their appearance. Not time or mileage.

Visual - some look clean from outward appearances. Hold it up to towards the sunlight (or similar) and look thru the media pleats.
