2008 RX350 Air Filter/Cabin Filter
What brand of air filter and cabin filter is the best for RX350?
Is buying from dealer the best quality?
In the owner's manuel, they recommend air blow the cabin filter. Is this really worth it? Is it better to change the whole filter?
How do I remove the air filter? Anybody have the picture of it. Do I just remove the two bolt on the top of air intake manifold to remove the air filter on the driver side?
Thanks guys.

Both filters are easy to replace. There are quite a few posts here. You can buy both filters, OEM and replacements on ebay. Not really as critical, I always get OEM replacements but from reputable brands. I stocked up on Lexus-Toyota filters when I bought accessories from the vendors here at CL, you get a discount, no tax plus minimal shipping costs. Go shop at our approved CL vendors!

MIne just replaced 2 weeks ago the air filter with K $ N filter 33-2260, and noticed a little diffrence with the accelaration and a little power. Installation was easy just remove the 2 screws , lift the air box . Don't need to remove the hose and cables might messed up your " check ingine" .

FOr what it is worth. Remember one thing. I have access to 4 toyotas that have the same type of airbox filter. One mistake I have made is pushing on the bolt too hard to get it to screw into the nut on the bottom side of the airbox. On 2 occasions I popped out the nut on the bottom of the airbox. This pops it out and gravity tends to pull it somewhere very hard to locate and it is a Pain in the butt to put it back in.
Thanks guys.
