Anyone using K&N Engine air filters in their LC? Any noticeable differences/improvements over OEM Filters?

DRGibbons

I don't believe K&N makes air filters for our LCs.

SugarD20

Yeah I was looking on the site and nothing came up. I used them in my ‘13 LS460 F Sport. I wonder why they don’t make them for the LC?

I use the Tom's filters, not sure since I never used the original.

SugarD20

Are the Tom’s reusable like the K&N filters?

DRGibbons

In a word, NO.

SugarD20

So what are the recommendations on mileage changes or just when dirty?

DRGibbons

When dirty - Mileage varies due to conditions. Dusty/dirty conditions will clog the filter more rapidly. The Lexus recommended replacement interval is 30K miles.

Ok. Thanks for your input!

Not using K&N but I thought the schedule stated 10K mi unless u run her in a high dust area.

You're referring to the cabin air filter. What we're speaking of are the pair of engine air filters under the hood.

K&N does not make a filter for the LC 500. I sent them a message offering to send them an original filter for size, so they could start to make them, but no reply. I guess they are not interested due to the low production numbers for the LC 500. I searched but could not find a reusable high airflow engine filter anywhere on the internet.

For engine filters our best seller is the Toms one.
