SRK Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I yanked the cabin air filter out this evening and the element looks absolutely disgusting. I need a new one on Monday. Any idea what these things cost, and is there an alternative to the dealer? I expect the inside of the car will smell a lot better with a new one. Kind of a musty smell sometimes, and of course the PO was a smoker.
Neo Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 They go for a few dollars more than $30 at Carson Toyota: http://www.l-tunedParts.com It is a chunk more at the dealer. Some members also got an air filter from Home Depot and cut them up to fit the cabin filter frame. Saves quite a bit of $$$.

SRK Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 I bought and installed the cabin filter today. The new one is bright white, the old black. Much better air flow through the HVAC system. The dealer is a combined Toyota-Lexus one, and the filter cost me $28.00 Can. wholesale through my company. The filter is in a Toyota box, and is part number 254-13-03C 87139-YZZ04 ( at least I think that's it!) And the service manager came outside to see my Cinnabar red GS, and declared it was a beautiful car and that he has rarely seen that colour on any Lexus. Nice of him to mention that. As well when I said I would need a timing belt soon with 92k kilometres on the car, he said no, that it is done at 156k kilometres, and with the time factor just coming due now, I could go a year or two more perfectly safely. That saves me some money now as I pay down my line of credit!

By the time you buy a filter online and pay shipping it's going to cost at least that.
bossman Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 I had a look at my cabin air filter and it was very dirty. Definitely in need of replacement as it was probably original equipment. Contacted a Lexus dealer - gave me part # 87139 - 50010 - and was quoted $60 CAN + taxes for this filter. Contacted my local Toyota dealer and they had a Lexus filter sitting on their shelves - part #87139 - YZZ04. I went in with the old filter and this one fit just fine. Cost to me was $33 CAN + taxes. Nothing against OEM Lexus parts, but this cross-referencing of equivalent Toyota parts is certainly a nice cost savings if you can figure it out.

upstateNYlex Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Where is the filter on an 01 430? ← not sure have you checked behind the glove box yet, in my 98 theres a slot behind the glovebox when you open it up. u have to remove that, then pull out the filter housing
BillH2 Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Where is the filter on an 01 430? ← Open the glove compartment. In the very back, behind the door is panel that pops off. The filter unit is behind that panel. I got mine from Sewell for about $30.00 Good Luck Bill
