Default Air Conditioner Filter

I am about 1k miles away from the 60k mark so I am preparing for what I'll need to do to my
GS460 at 60k. The manual states to replace the AC filter. I searched the forum but didn't find anything on this item and I am wondering if this is a do-it myself type of change or a take to a dealer for change, or if I need to change it at all right now.

I only put 8k miles on my car since I bought it last year in May so I am even contemplating whether or not I need to change the spark plugs, but I'll see if I do or don't.

Thanks

There are many... most of which detail broken doors so make sure you put the hvac system into recirculation mode or you'll get to contribute in them too

Good luck

OK, I'm sure the above is funny to some, me included. However, its the most important comment known when it comes to a DIY cabin filter change.

Cheers

Note: the Fram a/c filters with the arm&hammer baking soda from Wallytucky are very decent.
I'm more than happy with mine and will probably just keep getting them.
