What about this carbon one??? It's only $8.50. I haven't bought this, but it says its a replacement for Part # 87139-30100

Amazon carries quite a few cabin air filters that fit the IS.

 

One could get that perhaps, but keep in mind this is not OEM. If it were me, I would get the OEM even thou the price may seem high, considering one already spending a good amount of money on getting a Lexus.

 

I've purchased several at Rock Auto. Great prices, wide selection and quick delivery

 

This particular model is a confirmed fit for the 3IS according to the listing: http://amzn.to/2bUJaRO

 

Were you able to find the filter for your Lexus ? I am trying to find one for my IS 250 2015 and alot of websites say not a fit !

 

Never understood the purpose of these, nor have I ever replaced one in any car I have ever owned.

 

the purpose is so you don't breathe dirty air. i don't like dirt in my car or in my lungs. i'm sure you don't too! =p

anyway sorry to bump but i ordered the one i linked two posts above. i'll let you guys know how it is.

 

 

Changed mine within days of having the car...these things get nasty; I certainly would not want a washable one. $13 at pepboys for the "better" one they carry and I'll check it a few times a year personally.

On the topic...just did the AC duct / vent cleaner as well on my car...very much reccomend. I constantly have my ac and/or fans running and now they smell so much better.

 

one thing i noticed about the aftermarket filters is they have quite a few less pleats. anybody have a recommendation on an aftermarket filter that has the same pleat density as the OE filter?

 

This is what I use
