Default Wow!!!! Some feathers and remains found in my ls!!!

So I went to get an oil change at my mechanics last week and I asked him to change the cabin air filter, since I read about it on this great forum, and forgot to change it when I did the tune-up. Well, this is what he showed me:


I suggests that those of you with cabin air filters get them checked out or changed if necessary. I dont think anyone wants feathers and remains inside they're vehicle. This is the ORIGINAL 13 year old cabin filter.

if you go through the glovebox you don't even need a screwdriver, or to undo any wingnuts.

though i don't know if the 1LS is the same

My cousin had some rats build a nest in the Blower motor of his LX-470.
