Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the PTC Custom Fit Cabin Air Filter-PTC72RR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this PTC custom fit Cabin Air Filter. Now, if you're not familiar with what a cabin air filter is or does basically all of your air that's coming through your heating and air conditioning system is going to pass through this filter. It's going to help filter out any outside pollutants like dust, smoke, bacteria, pollen, mold spores, carbon monoxide, that sort of thing. It's going to pass through here and get trapped in this filter so that it's not blowing in your face. So this is going to be very important, not only for having clean air blowing through your cab, but it's also going to help with your heating and air conditioning system.

It's going to prevent those particles from building up in there, potentially causing corrosion and problems down the road. Now, this is a Custom Fit Filter. This is going to work for your 2018 through 2020 Lexus LS 500 as well as the 2018 through 2020 Lexus LS, 500 H. Because this is a custom fit, it's going to be very easy to switch out. You definitely don't need a mechanic to do this for you.

It's one of the most basic things that you can do to help maintain your vehicle. It's a very easy drop-in installation. So as you pull the old one out and make sure that you are looking at that airflow indicator, you want to make sure that you're putting this in the same direction so that air is going to flow through there. This is a charcoal treated media particulate. So it's going to filter out over 90% of those outside pollutants, so it's going to do a really good job for you.

It is manufactured to the ISO 9001, 9002, and 9003 standards, as well as the QS9000 certified standards. So it is going to do a good job for you. A manufacturer does recommend changing your filter every 12,000 to 18,000 miles or about once a year. Of course, that depends on your environment. So if you live in a really dusty environment, like if you're in the desert or on a gravel road, something like that, you might need to change it out a little bit more frequently, but that's totally up to you.

It is a good idea to change it out pretty often so that you're not having that build up over time. It's going to allow you to have a cleaner air flowing through. But for those of you who do need a little bit more reassurance that this is going to work for your Lexus, this is an exact replacement for the part numbers that you see on the screen there. So, if you're going through your owner's manual, or do you see any of those, either of those numbers on your current filter, you can trust that this is going to be the direct replacement that you're going to need, you're not going to have any issues with it. So definitely, a great option for those of you who are willing to do the maintenance on your own, definitely not worth paying someone else to do it for you. Very simple way, to help maintain your vehicle, keep that air fresh in your cabin. So it's going to complete our work for today. And again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
