Coming up on my 70K service. It calls for the AC Cabin filter to be changed out. I changed it at the 60K mark as called for and used a premium filter not the standard OEM Denso filter. Is it really time to change out the filter after only 10K?

I do mine every year and I drive about 12k miles a year.

 

You could take it out and look at first. I go several years without changing mine. I guess a lot depends on how dusty it is where you live. I have friends with a cabin up in Vermont and they drive about 10 miles every trip on a dirt road. The dust is ridiculous. Of course the rain keeps the dust down, but then the car is covered in mud.

 

It really depends on the air quality in the are you live. Same goes for the intake filters.
If you live in a heavily populated area with a lot of traffic you will need to change them out quicker than normal.
I recommend buying from Bell Lexus' ebay, you will get the best price for OEM parts.
