Changed mine a couple of weeks ago. Went to the dealer and picked up the OEM one. The air was clean before, it's even cleaner now if that makes sense. I plan to change it once a year.
Are you sure the air is even cleaner? Maybe the 2018 LS will add an atomizer like the S class for us to feel the difference . Who knows, maybe a CL member has already made this mod....
I think these things are a bit of a gimmick when it comes to "air quality" inside the car. Unfiltered air is getting in your car regardless of the filter (sunroof, open windows, EVERY time you open a car door, etc).
In my opinion, the only truly beneficial aspect of this filter is that it filters out large debris and particles that could POTENTIALLY lessen the life of the blower motor.
BUT because it's a Lexus I dutifully march to the drum of it's needs and fork over my 6 dollars per year to replace it.
I put something like that in my glove box already. I use Glare squash scent and every time I turn on the A/C, it blows the squash into the cabin. Even when the jar is empty, it still smells of this yummy goodness.
it actually has no smell of the vegetable at all. It's a sweet smelling scent.
LOL. I know, I was just being a goofball.
FWIW, I just buy a cheap dollar store freshener and stick it in a crevice somewhere in my car a couple of times a year. This after someone told me my car smelled "like an old man's car". OUCH.
