in cabin a/c air filter...
I read a bunch of threads stating that the stock toyota air filter does not fit into pre-96 sc400's without modification. I have a 1994 sc400 that did not come with an in-cabin air filter, and as a result, the evap coil was full of garbage and needed to be cleaned with a vaccum and compressed air. I went to the lexus dealership, gave them the year, and the filter they gave me fit perfectly without any modification needed.
Just wanted to state this next time someone searches for it.

the filter ran me about 45 bucks. i thought it was hard to do, but MAN was it EASY!! there was a lot of crap in mine, and also when i pulled it out, there was none in there, it was like they didn't come with it or something, but made a provision for it....?

Highly Recommended
Just bougt 96 SC400 2 months Ago, same thing went to replace filter that was 't there. Lots of dirt , rocks, Bugs crap. New filter really helps by giving the interior a kind of new car smell. Good idea for anyone to check & replace. New filter came with detailed instruction on how to replace inside of Box, from dealership.
