They are different filters. Get the 07010 one, you can use the CL discount or there are other places that have it for cheaper. Both filters are the same size and both work for your car but the filter media is different. I bought both and the 07010 looks to be a better cleaning filter, the YZZ08 filter is very see through and cheap. Toyota might be only making the YZZ08 soon, probably to cut costs because my local Toyota dealer only had those and told me the 07010 was discontiuned. When you see the filters side by side, you'll see why the YZZ08 sucks.

For those of you buying these online, make it worthwhile and grab a couple of wiper inserts while you're at it. It helps ease the pain of paying the shipping.
While shopping around for oil filters at a few parts wholesalers I asked about the cabin filter. Apparently, the WIX 2008 catalog shows a carbon filter and a regular filter available for our cars. I don't know the difference, however with other products such as Microwave hoods, a carbon filter is designed to remove smoke.
BTW remember to put the car into "recirculation mode" before attemping the change. Also, FYI on the oil filters the dealer sold me them for about $8 plus $3 for the little gasket. The wholesaler sold only the filter, made by WIX with no gasket for about $9. The filter from WIX didn't look as good either. Then, I went to Autozone for some clay and asked how much, STP (?) was $7 and in cabin filters were only $20. Plus, at Autozone they have a customer rewards and if you spend >$20 five times in six months you get a $20 credit on your rewards card. I wouldn't get oil there though, very expensive Usually my Wal Mart has 5 quart bottles of Mobil One 5w20 for $21
I have always called it my 'fart button" because it works well for this purpose and the icon on the button looks like it illustrates this.
