    I got to the point of just telling my dealer not to even look at my filters. I take them out and blow them off real good with air compressor at various intervals. Cabin filter less often than engine. My dealer said there would be no labor charge but I still declined. Never changed cabin filter in 2009. I checked Auto Zone and just about same price as dealer. Cabin filters are the biggest ripoff going.

    If you're never going to change it, might as well just take it out. Once it's clogged up, it can't be good for the fan trying to blow air through a dirty filter.

    Yes it does! I went to order last week and could not log on to the site. They sold filters under a brand name TYC, and side by side I could not tell the difference between these and the factory filters. Identical in every way. I just bought one off ebay for a little over $7 shipped free.

    Just found out that L-S is out of business. Installed my last one recently and went to order one today and couldn't get the site to load. Found these online: Amazon.com $7.73 with free shipping over $25.

    Bought my Taco used w/ 90k on her. Read this thread the other day and ordered a new filter for $13 off Amazon. This is what the old one looked like today when I pulled it out...[​IMG]

    Need to change mine every six months due to the dusty roads here in Colorado. I just buy the FRAMs from Walmart. They work fine.

    Make sure you get a charcoal filter. It's the best if you are dealing with smog and allergies. Don't get just the cheapest.
