A/C Filter change or replace?
Hello,
My GS just hit 32k miles. I did all of the 30k service myself. I did not replace a/c filter. I pulled it out and cleaned it with an air compressor. I still get a slight smell when i use the a/c, but nothing horrible. How long can you go on the original a/c filter?
Any links on where to buy them?

Don't even bother cleaning that filter - a new one is cheap enough to just replace once a year. I was at Wal-mart last night and even they sold them. They sold the Fram brand which I don't care for when it comes to oil filters, but for an air filter they're fine.
They just came out with this one that has Arm & Hammer baking soda to help reduce odors:

It was priced a little higher than the regular one I got last time around ($28 for my wife's Highlander) but that's the only one they carried.

Air Filter
I just bought a couple of these from Amazon for my RX
Fram Fresh Breeze CF10157
Not sure what the number is for a GS.
14.00 each. Buy 2 and you get free shipping.

For the 2006 GS300, it's a Fram Fresh Breeze CF10285
Also, there's currently a $5 Fram rebate available, here: http://www.fram.com/rebate/pdf/FiveDollarRebate.pdf
I may try one of these. Also noted that amazon has the Denso 143-2091 air filter for about $16 also for the GS300.
