LOL! Those might work for some things - but 350Z's were famous for wonderful mildew smells from the air vents. Maybe the 370 will be a bit different?

Nope I smell it already :ugh2:

If they're similar to the one I have in my Toyota, it is recommended to replace them annually (possilby a bit earlier if your in a dusty climate).

what type
 

I notice which one you put in but others have said to use a CAF1766
filter. Is there a better one than an other? Do they all fit the same,
or have less constricted air flow than another?

I am not sure if I am paranoid but I could not figure out if CAF1792 would be the correct one because it might be too thick and too long.

In test fitting, there is a vent door that I believe will need to open and the filter may prevent it from swinging open. What I need to find out is if this door swings upwards or downwards.

I am out of time today so I apologize for leaving everyone hanging.

Btw thanks for the writeup.

Looks just like my G sedan. :) shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to get it done. One thing tho that you should definitely have a philips head screw driver that's at least 6-8" long. Makes things much easier. ;)

Awesome.


Has anyone thought of finding a charcoal type filter in there (if they exist)?

I hate it when I roll by a skunk or other dead animal, and it wafts it's way in, and won't leave.

I don't know if they fit but Nissan makes the charcoal filter for the Gs. I have them and I have been using this for about past 30k miles. You may want to try them.

The correct filter and equivalents are:

STP: CAF1766
Purolator: C35479
WIX: 24883
Fram: CF10157

No need to notch the filter. The tapered posts on the door hold the filter up and in place away from the fan below. This is the one meant to go in there...

This is a Lexus/Toyota equivalent P/N Toyota 87139-32010 Apparently several Manuf. use the same air handling unit.

Fitment: Lexus ES330 v6 3.3l 2004-2005, RX400 Hybrid 2006-2009, Toyota Avalon V6 3.0L 2002-2004, Camry V6 2002-2005 & 4Cyl 2006, Highlander V6 3.3L 2004-2007 & Hybrid V6 2006-2007, Sienna V6 3.3L 2004-2006, Solara 2003-2006

I used the Purolator C35479 and it fit fine. The tabs on the plastic door held the filter up and flat so that it was not directly contacting the fan housing, but still filtering all of the passing air.

Someone asked whether the air filter would interfere with doors / panels inside the housing. I checked by turning on the car, and switching from outside air to recirculating air. The Purolator C35479 does not interfere with the operation of the venting in any way.

The Fram CF10157 is a charcoal type, Seems to fit:tiphat:.

Before I ask this, let me state that I know this is very dependent on where a person lives. I understand that dirtier air (such as the dirty desert air where I live) will fill a filter faster than say, southern Florida.

That being said, how long (or how many miles) do people get out of cabin filters?

Thanks Caneman88, G96818 and ModShack, I was able to install the cabin filter (Purolator C35479) with ease using your photo's as a guide.

Took me all of 10 minutes to install the filter and re-assemble the glovebox.

nice write up. tag for later.

Hey Doc,

What are the dimensions of the CF10157 compared to the non-charcoal type? If they are the same, I would rather buy the charcoal.
This is a Frame brand, correct?
Thanks.
