let the dealership do it....they break it...they pay to fix it. i'll never mess with that DIY. I'll buy the filter from somewhere else, but I will not be on the hook for $1500 for forgetting to push a button.
haha well that's why all the warnings here in this thread 
i learned the details when reading a thread in the ls460 forum. basically if you don't put it in CIR mode, the trap door is closed. if you force it, you will break one of the gear right the way and i believe it won't shut anymore. well, that will apparently trigger a light to come on on the dash from time to time, annoying.
i asked about the repair, technically, you just need to repair that one gear / bearing, but to get to that, you will have to pretty much take apart the most part of the dash, so i guess labor is what kills it...

There is nothing to warn people to put it in recirculate mode before performing those steps. I believe that exact instruction sheet was the cause of at least a few $1500 repairs.
