Question Jumpstart Question!
I just helped my co-worker jumpstart her car with my Coupe. I had to remove some filter thingy to get to the batteries + and - terminals. I didn't have my manual with me so I need you guys to let me know a few things:

1. Is jumpstarting someone's car bad for my battery?
2. Did I have to remove that air filter thingy?
3. Or should I have just used the + thingy that extends from the battery and clamp on to the metal part of the car in place of -?
4. What is the air filter thingy?

2. No.

3. Yes.

How often do I need to replace this HVAC filter? Or do you simple wash it clean and reuse?
