At 15k my filter looked the same. There is ALOT of construction going on around us and all that dust...the other car calls for an engine filter every 20k and at 11k it was also dirty. Changed both. The Vs cabin filter was also stuffed after 9k miles. That one I change at least once a year after pollen is done.
Wonder if OPs area is experiencing similar real estate growth or some major construction project releasing additional amounts of dust...
