How do you change the cabin air filter?
Also, how do you clean the F-Sport intake filter? Its reusable right?

You don't risk a thing if you know how to properly oil it. It takes some pretty drastic over-oiling to mess up your MAF.

Both filters were changed a year and a half-ish after I bought the car (The car was bought new in Jan 2009). I went over on my mileage too, both filters were done when the car was in the 25k range

They're both blitz filters so I'm trying to figure out best way of reusing and when to do it. I know the cabin air filter for sure is reusable, not sure about the air filter though. I'm at almost 34k miles now
Thanks for posting this info it really helped me alot. This is real easy to do. Here are some pics of my old and new filters for my engine and cabin filter change I did today. Any by the way I went to Sewell Lexus for the filters they were very affordable.
