you fell into my maniacal plan. I was actually wondering who makes the OEM filters and such for the Lexus. I am quite honestly from the Audi scene and we use MANN. Wondering if Lexus uses WIX, or Denso or some other "brand:...

Hmm, I'm wondering where you can get an OEM cabin air filter so in expensively? When I went to my Toyota Dealership, with the Lexus part number, they wanted almost $37 for it. So when I went to Jiffy Lube to get my oil changed (providing them with an OEM oil filter to use, of course), they "only" wanted about $34 to replace the cabin air filter, so I went with them and was satisfied. I was surprised that they even HAD the part in stock. They are going to re-order more for me for the next time. I replace the cabin air filter pretty often due to where I live (very dusty) and how I drive. My two cents.

I just pulled my filter out and blew it with my air compressor! Looks fine to me. I spent the $25 on a bottle of Hennessey that was suppose to be for a new filter I’ll eventually buy one, but…..
Im curious to know as well what the noticable differences are between carbon vs. standard filters

Wow, that's a great price on a Carbon filter. I'm definitely going to order a half dozen to have on hand for my next few changes. I'm really particular about keeping that filter clean because of where I live (very dusty), how I drive (lots of running around town, stop and go traffic, although it's a VERY small town) and the fact that I like knowing my air is as clean as possible. I've found that keeping a clean cabin air filter also keeps the particulates in my cabin to a minimum. Quickly, on another topic, I've made the great mistake of letting my Wife drive my GX a few times recently. Now she's referring to it as "our GX"! Uh, oh. She's also saying that now SHE wants one just like mine, except she wants it in Salsa Red, just like her current 4Runner. I guess after we refi the house, we will be a two GX family. She says it's the nicest vehicle she's ever driven. Of course I agree with her on that, but she needs to get her own ASAP, : )!

Yeah, I've only seen ons around where I live, but it's a REALLY small, Colorado mountain town. I usually have to go to the Denver Metro area to find my "new" vehicles. I'm assuming I'll have to do the same for the Wife when the time comes. It's going to require a bit of luck to find her exactly what she wants. I got pretty lucky with my (silver) GX, loaded with the Sports Package and everything (except LexusLink and Rear Entertainment). I was more focused on the "whole" truck versus the color. My Wife won't need the KDSS, the Sports Package, etc. She "just" wants a Salsa Red GX after driving mine a few times. Damn, : )!
