Default K&N Cartridge Filter - RX350 application could it

Could a K&N Cartridge Oil Filter for a RX350 w/ the V6 3.5 L

be used onto a 07 Lexus IS350...

seeing that both use the same motor, could it work with the Lexus IS350 ?

funny I dont see an application for the IS350 w/ the V6 3.5 L motor

but I see an application for Toyota/Lexus models with the identical V6 3.5L motor

any insights? is there an actually difference?

Dont want to offend you hard, but dont waste your money on those filter. Just buy the regular ones and change them once a year is even better compared to those useless K&N filters. It will do less harm to the MAF sensor.

More than likely there is a difference, but you would have to find one side by side to compare... chances are if the filter worked for the other vehicle, they would have it listed on their application guide as well...

GS4 - while I do kinda agree that the K&N may not be worth the money, they aren't as bad as many people make them out to be... You should read this: http://www.knfilters.com/MAF/massair.htm

Thanks for the input but not to be rude but was talking Oil Cartridge filters not the K&N Drop in air filter

and for drop in filters, I use the AfE Pro Dry S drop in fitler...

none the less, yeah I was actually trying to clarify Oil Filters LOL!

They aren't the same filter model number, even when checking different brands...

so, no, it will not work...

also, those are not the exact same motor... 2gr-fe vs 2gr-fse believe the immediate distinction is direct injection that the fse has, but gotta get to work so no time to look for sure...
