Has anyone discovered an aftermarket cabin filter that is a "quality" filter? I have no problem with the dealership price of the front filter but the rear cabin filter is crazy! Even Sewell's price is crazy on that one. I have a 2006 LS430 Ultra. Thank you.

 

Try autohausaz. I find they ship quick, have good prices and are very reliable. A quick check shows the front cabin filter for $51. Rear might be a different story. I would call them

 

i found this at "auto parts warehouse DOT COM"

NPN W0133-1787065 Rear Cabin Air Filter for $37.95

 

Hi, Thank you for your response to my posting. The front cabin air filter is $31 from Sewell, so they are completely reasonable on that one. What I am asking is if anyone has found any after market filter sources that sale "quality" filters equal to that of OEM, not just cheaper. Sewell is asking $197 for the rear cabin filter. Again, thanks.

 

Hi, Thanks for the link but I am unable to pull up the page in the link. Would you please try again or tell me what website you are trying to share. Thank you.

 

ill pm you the link

 

I read somewhere on here that you can vacuum the rear cabin air filter, just a thought.

 

Being a cigar smoker a vacuum isn't going to fix my car's filter.

 

I might suspect that nothing is going to fix your car's interior, much less the filter!

this is where I get mine...ships n about three days to your house. Put in your car and a video pops up showing how to change it.

 

How does the quality seem compared to OEM? Thank you.

 

Maybe I am mistaken and do not understand the original post. After reading through it I visted the Sewell site through the Club Lexus vendor link. After signing in, I checked the price of the rear cabin filter and it was about $37 - $38 plus shipping.

Again, maybe I misunderstood but that's what I remember paying last year from Sewell.

 

$197.38 Here is the link: http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2006/4480.html

Please respond with your link. Two different prices on the same website would be strange but stranger things have happened.

 

Supply and demand at it's finest.

Here is the link. You must be signed in to the Sewell site to get the CL price of $37-38, otherwise it shows as $51. It makes sense to create an account with Sewell, the discounts are great and they show up automatically when you sign in the site.

I now see the issue. The 2001 to 2003 is $37-38, the 2005 to 2006 is the expensive one. I suspect they are the same part number or will otherwise fit in all years. If not, try Amazon. They have NPN for $45 and some others. These filters are all produced by other companies and put in Toyota/Lexus boxes. Aisen, NPN, Beck, Wix, etc. should work just fine.

Again, I would call Sewell or your local dealer parts department.
