Thanks ! Alex for posting the deal

Thanks!! Ken's_RX for confirming!! I ordered 3 for my 2007 RX350 Hopefully the 3 filters would last between 45 k to 75 k miles

I received the three that I ordered today, each one packaged and shipped separately, just as moolman said. I also received three Scotch Brite Glass Cleaning Cloths, three detailing cloths and three Lint Rollers. Ken'sRX is correct they fit perfectly and appear to be of excellent quality.

This gets even interesting:

I think the Clean Air Club applies only to air filters that are used in the home, like furnace filters. The pledge is to change your filters each season. Also the cabin filter has no "proof of purchase" on it.

The Proof of Purchase is NOT the UPC bar code on the filter itself. It is not a UPC at all. It's in the corner of the packaging and says 3M in red and in a box that says Proof of Purchase. Does your airfilter show that?

Rainbird

The three cabin filters I received from 3M have NO Proof of Purchase anywhere on the package. They also have NO UPC bar code. I do use 3M Filtrete Electrostatic Furnace Filters in my home and they DO have both UPC Codes and "Proof of Purchase" seals.

Well, you're right I didn't test the filters but just from commonsense observations, its very obvious that the Denso cabin filters are not as well made as the 3M or the MicronAir. Put the filters side by side and you'll realize that the 3M looks like it will trap particles better, looks better constructed, and 3M is cheaper in price. Take it for what you will but the 3M filters are $15 and you get some extra gifts.

moolman, I would also give the 3M cabin filters a try if I found one that would fit my RX or GS. Compared to the $25 Toyota charges for a new filter, this is a bargain.

Anyone determine a 3M filter for the RX330 or GS300?

Ron_Texas

Just ordered 3, seems pretty straight forward, less than $50 with shipping. Now the question, how often should they be changed?

The G Man

Depending on driving conditions, I would say change it every year to a year and a half. I changed mine at year and a half and it was not that dirty.

I found the best way to figure out if the filter fits is to go to the bosch or purolator websites, so a search for one of the cars that you know fit the filter and do a search for your car. If the filter model number comes out the same, you have a match. I think someone mentioned though that the RX330 uses an exclusive filter. Starting with the 07RX350, toyota got smart and just went with the generic filter size that fits a lot of the new toyotas.

moolman

I ordered a lot of these filters because both my cars use it. I like changing it every 10K. I think the recommended is 20-25K but look at the filter after 10K and I think you'll agree with me 10K is a good interval. At 10K you find dead bugs, leaves and the fitler is already black. At 20K if you didn't change it, the filter is destroyed. This isn't HEPA filtering but I rather pay a couple of extra bucks to filter something out. And give the filter a good shake down and tap off all the crap it catches at around 5K. Even at 10K, I don't think I'm being conservative, just look at your filter at 10K and you can decide if you want it in there for another 5-10K, breathing that stuff in.

Hey, I know my filters, I have a IQAir and a Friedrich C90B at home.

Per 3M
During its service life—averaging 15-25,000 miles depending on driving conditions—a typical filter removes between two and 12 grams of particulate matter
