I think I need to replace the Cabin Air Filter in my 98 GS400. The car is stinking like an animal died in it.

I have never done this before, can someone advise me on whether it is easy to do, where can I find a reference to doing it, and approximately how much I should pay for an OEM filter?

Thanks

 

You can do a search. eman did a really nice DIY.

couldnt be easier... open you glove box. then theres a lil piece that pops out rectangular about 10" x 2" and behind it you will see a slide me out little door... Violah!!!

 

Seriously...I am not a DIYer and I was able to do this in minutes...

 

if you go here: http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1892, you can buy the Blitz AC Hybrid Cabin Filter and you'll never need a new one ever!!! great investment..

 

Here you go.....

i put a dryer sheet on top of my DIY, underneath that plastic grid thing mmmmmmm nice smelling carrrrrr

 

cool idea. i never wouldve thought of that.

 

Great alternative to people like me who buy air fresheners that run out within 2 weeks.

 

I am closing in on a 60K service and I don't think I need a new cabin filter. Should I get one or should I wait. The car interior does not smell poorly.

 

The air filters are normal maintenance items at 30,000 intervals... That is the engine and the cabin air filters.

 

Thanks. That is what I figured but I wanted to be sure.
