RX350 Cabin Air Filter
#16
Odd since it is from the Sewell site when searching for a 2011 cabin air filter replacement. Anyway, I just walked out and put my hand underneath the shelf in the glovebox and pushed upwards hard. The shel just pops out. There are two tabs on the left bottom that attach as well as one right angled one on the right hand side. Just push up hard, no biggie.

Thank you for your extra works.

Best I can get on short notice.
Place your hand on the under side of the lower shelf (it's a one piece plastic thing) and put your index fingers all the way to the back of the glove compartment. Push up, hard, with the tips of your fingers. Don't worry, the thing is plastic but is flexible. It will "pop" and make a loud noise - you aren't breaking it, that's just the clips releasing.
Here it is out of the glovebox. You can see the tabs. The air filter compartment is located on the back wall.
Install is the reverse of removal. I put in the big right clip in the side of the glovebox then bend the shelf to fit the little guys in. Push in until the clips pop into place. Return 50lb owners manual to its home.

It is one shelf unit with two shelves and a support between the upper and lower.
Put your hand under the whole unit on the drivers side and lift up. Once the two tabs pop out, pull the unit sideways towards the drivers door to remove the tab from the side of the glove box. You wont break it and you may have to be firm.

Owners Manual
On my 2nd Gen RX. I keep the owners manual in the tray above the spare tire.
I also bought a windshield visor C/D holder. And with it I put a piece of paper with my notes on it. The stuff you always use. Like reseting the Maintenance required light.
Dont ever need to use my manual. If I have to look up something. I go to the Lexus Drivers web page. Login. And they have your owners manual in PDF form to search.
Much easier to find stuff. Than flipping through pages.

I put my manuals in the house. Why carry it around?
BTW I ask the store at the Lexus dealer if they have a set of service manuals. The guy said it has to be special order, will cost about $600 and has about six thick volumes. Better stick to the online manual then. Lol.

No, I don't play soccer!
Decided to install Wix cabin filter with carbon and replace the OE paper one yesterday. Right out of the oversized box, the Wix filter is noticeably heavier and denser. The size is identical to OE though. Pricewise, Wix is less than half the price a dealer charges. I paid $12 online. I'll put it to the test this week and report back.

I'm hoping the thickness will make the Wix more effective than the OE one. It's well rated and for the price, I thought it worth trying. I'll have to wait and see.
