Pressurized magneto filter

How often do you replace pressurized magneto air filters? (Seneca with Bendix mags)

What specific engine? While I'm not 100% sure, not all pressure mags use filters with some using a check valve instead. The Lycomings I'm familiar with all used a check valve which had a repetitive mx check.

My TSIO550 has a clear filter so I can see if its getting anything in it.
Almost 100hrs on it now and its pristine.
One of the guys on my forum thought he read 250hrs but I'm not changing it that frequently.
I'm thinking 1000 hours, but I'm watching it.
Might be a good thing to look up on M-0 (the Conti maint manual)
RAM has them, over $100 now.

Tsio360. Currently has the clear Ram filter. Changed in 2021 and looks perfectly clean but don’t know how long it’s good for

From M-0
10-5.5. Magneto Filter Replacement Pressurized magnetos incorporate a desiccant filter to trap moisture that could cause arcing at higher altitudes. Serviceable desiccant material in the filters is white in color; replace the filter when the desiccant material turns dark. If the filter requires replacement, inspect the internal magneto components for moisture and corrosion.

So its 'replace on condition'. Thanks.
