Cabin A/C filter changed?
I changed my cabin A/C filter today....and found the new filter was much less robust than the one coming out. I ordered both the old and new from Sewell Lexus. Has the part changed? The old on had a nice solid plastic frame and dense looking filter medium. The new one had no frame and the material appeared much less dense..Has the part changed? Or, maybe I got the wrong one?
I think next time I will just buy some high density furnace filter and cut it to fit.
edit: This is for an 06 IS350

I thought the musty odor was caused by condensation/moisture in the evaporator.. growing mold that causes the smell..
I still cant believe our cars have this problem. Turning off the ac and leave the fan on couple mins before your destination to dry out the moisture is a sad way to avoid the smell. My previous 1993 Prelude or my wifes 1998 4runner doesnt even have this smelly problem. WTF Lexus?!

There are various filters available from Toyota/Lexus that will fit in the car, about 4-5 part numbers. The original Japanese-made Charcoal filter is still made, and is still available (at least in Canada). I just put one in last week.
87139-07010 - Factory USA-made Pollen Filter (Replaces Japan-made 87139-30040)
87139-50060 - Factory Japan-made Deodorant Filter (Charcoal)
87139-YZZ08 - MVP USA-made Pollen Filter
87139-YZZ10 - MVP USA-made Deodorant Filter (Charcoal)
87139-02090 - Factory USA-made Pollen Filter from other cars that happens to be the same size (Replaces Japan-made 87139-52020)
(MVP = Market Value Priced, they are cheaper than the factory filter alternatives available from Toyota/Lexus).
