Default Need NAPA parts number for AC filter for '01

Howdy all. I've learned a ton from all of you and I have yet another question. Without going to the dealer, where can I buy I buy the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for my newly purchased 2001 L430?

Update: I found the engine air filter at NAPA for $19. But they didn't have the AC air filter in their books. If anyone has a NAPA part number for the AC air filter, that might help in the search. thanks...

For my '01 LS430, I spent a bit of time looking at Pep Boys and Auto Zone, no luck. Last year I ordered from one of the advertizers on this board. This year I ended up getting them at NAPA. In stock, ready to go.

I only use K&N Filters. The best price is at Amazon for $29.91 shipping included.

lexus-parts.com discount code CL911m for clublexus owners.

You can also buy a purelator one from Autozone, but you have to preorder it, as they dont stock them.

re: Cabin filters.
I found BIG difference in price comparing Lexus dealer to aftermarket parts store.
I was told that the reason is the filter from Lexus has charcoal impregnated in the filter, whereas an aftermarket filter does not.

I cannot confirm that as I have not yet bought an aftermarket filter.

Try

http://www.irontoad.com

for factory parts at a good price...

I don't think the after market cabin filters are as good as the factory filter.

I was able to order a Wix air filter at the local auto parts store...
