1992's don't support cabin air filters without modifications.

Positive. Do some searching...you'll need to modify a different filter, although I don't remember which one.

Toyota/Lexus doesn't have a service nor a listing for an AC filter for the SC400. But I know that the 87139-YZZ02 will fit that car.

Just followed the directions to replace my 95 SC400 Air Cabin Filter and to my surprise there is nothing in there! I don't even see how 2 filters can fit in there. (BennySC400) did your SC400 have a filter prior?

I am guessing the person who had it before did not put one back in?

To make matters worse I was able to see the fins on the evaporator and it looks dirty. Any advice on how to clean this while still installed?

Anything I can spray in there?

I am assuming the filter is to block the debri from hitting the evaporator and then travel into the cabin?

Default Cabin Air Filter

I have a 95 SC 400 and there is no filter in mine, and i get this old man musk smell in my car, almost like a cigar smell from 20 years ago. When I opened the bay to access the (non existent) filter, a lot of debris came out, so it's passing right to the fan blower.
