What Type Of Air Filter?

[i0C]

Do people use only Toyota/Lexus when replacing their engine and cabin air fitter; or will any air filter work?

Thanks

I installed a K&N lifetime air filter as I used this brand with success on my previous vehicles. It provides better breathing for the engine and does not invalidate Lexus warranty. All maintenance needed is cleaning and re-oiling the filter element every 50,000 miles. As for cabin filter, there is quite a few of after-market brands that are cheaper and perform just as well as OEM.

I discovered Denso brand cabin filter at Rockauto.com  The filter material looks exact like the OEM one, except the foam strip around the filter is a different color.  It's a more "breathable" filter compare to other cheaper filters I had tried.  It's electrostatic filter material.
