Cabin Filter location RX300 with CD changer
My Owner's Manual does not show how to replace the cabin filter when you have the CD changer. Where is the filter located, and how to replace it?

if you open glove box and look back above back of box theres a rectangle cover pull it off and theres the air filter pull it out pop new one in and put cover back on cover can be tricky put bottom in first and pop top of it in not too hard

The CD changer is not an issue. You slip out the top-back piece of the glove box and you have access to the filter cover door. Pull that out with your fingers or some pliers and you see the filter.

Nice to see how this is done, but they guy states "rember, the air you engine needs to run goes though this" when he is talking about how dirty it is.
This got me rolling on the ground!! Talk about not having a clue...

Read on the car care kiosk website that the cabin air filter has an impact on gas mileage??
Planning to change mine next week (its so disgusting and dirty!!)
easy replacement to do.

Not so fast...
That part of the video was shared from the engine's air filter inspection tutorial. True, an overlook from the web admin's part but is nothing about 'not having a clue'. BTW, I found carecarekiosk dot com a very useful site.

I suggest replacing the filter rather than cleaning it. You only remove the visible debris, but there are many more particles stuck in the filter hindering air flow, and lowering the efficiency of the HVAC system.

(2) These transmissions from the factory have screens instead of filters. Meaning you can just clean it and put it back. That is unless someone has already replaced the filter with a paper filter. Since you can no longer buy a screen filter. You can use brake cleaner to clean the transmission pan. Remember to use a Toyota Type-IV transmission ATF.
(3) I haven't used Auto-RX personally so I can't really comment on that.
