I searched for the DIYs and it looks like the AC cabin filter change should be a breeze. But I could not locate a definitive DIY instructions for the engine air filter. Is this difficult to do?? For those of you who did this yourselves, was the whole process easy to do?

 

This is normal...

I hope everyone realizes that the service advisers in the service department are commission based just like the salesmen in the sales dept.

In fact, many service advisers are former car salesmen from the same dealership that got promoted... They make MUCH more money in the service department for obvious reasons...

Rule: Treat the service department the same way you treat the sales department...

 

i don't think there is an engine air filter to replace. At 15k at most you need oil change and replace cabin air filter.

 

i paid 320 for the 15k service. i never came back after that!

 

u want want to replace the engine air filter u can't miss it. just pop open the hood and take the plastic covers off. u should see a black box on the passenger side that is connected to the intake. thats where the filter is and all you have to do is unclip it. swap and ur done.

 

Wow, so you got ripped for $228 for an oil change ($50), a $14 filter, and a $16 filter? That would be the last time I went back there...

 

Just received pricing on filters from lexus dealer: $18 - engine air filter and $47 for air refiner element.

what exactly is air refiner element?

 

not exactly...they rotated the wheels and rebalanced them. oil change. changed filters 2 in all... replaced windshield wiper blades...alignment was done...lubricated joints. and fixed dash rattle which is a non 15k item...i wouldn't consider it a bad deal...i paid 150 in parts and the rest in labor. in my book not too bad. i get piece of mind and didn't have to do ****.

 

Probably the cabin air filter (aka the Air conditioning filter) (aka the climate control system filter)...

IMHO, that's the single most important item in the entire car to change on a regular basis... It's the air you breathe... I change mine every 4-6 months...

 

this was helpful! where can i order this from? sewell?

 

just put the numbers into Google with the words "Lexus Filter" in there. You'll find plenty of places to buy.
