How important is changing A/C filter at 15000 miles...A/C works fine no problems..08 RX 350....

The filter doesn't have anything to do with the a/c working "fine". Its purpose is to filter out bad "stuff" from the air. I believe it may even have activated charcoal embedded in it, or am I confusing that with my BMW? Anyhow, replacing the filter is a 10 minute job and easily done by anyone. Not trying to be a smart aZZ but they put the filter there for a reason and they put a life cycle change on it for a reason. If nothing else, pull it out, shake of the big stuff and rinse it off prior to reinstalling. However, they are fairly cheap, especially if you buy the no-name version from Auto Zone/Advance Auto.

You open the glove compartment and pull out the two pins on the sides. It drops down and you can reach in and pull the filter out. Takes 5 minutes, if that.

The RX cabin filters are hepa type microfilters, but not with activated carbon...we wish. But you can actually get the activated carbon type, somebody makes them to fit many cars.
