Has anyone found a good price on the Cabin/ACC Air Filter for the 07/08 Outlanders? Dealer wants $90 for a new one. Has to be someone online with a cheaper price.

Take the old one out and take it to a shop that sells aftermarket ones. Try one from a 2005-2008 Toyota Sienna or Camry...I haven''t tried it but i bet it fits.

This is what some ppl do. Take the factory one out and measure it, and goto Home Depot or Lowes and buy the ones you use for your furnace, cut it to size, and stick back in.

My dealer had 2007 Outlander cabin filters for $40 which seemed silly (though it seems like a bargain compared to your dealer). I went to Advance Auto Parts and went through every box of cabin filters they had. The Toyota Sienna filters didn''''t match, but I found Purolator C35530 for $12 which was an exact match in dimensions. The only difference is that the OEM had a cardboard frame on all four sides, but the Purolator had a frame only on two sides (front and back as inserted in slot). It works perfectly well. Hope this helps.

Good Find! I just called the dealer in Norco, CA they wanted $48.58 for that cabin air filter (Part#MR398288). I said WOW! He said it has carbon it in.. So what''''s so special about it? ahaahaha.

it''s supposed to absorb all the bad stuff and neutralize it if it has carbon in it. the generic ones may only trap dirt.

Just picked up two from the eBay auction above. They look almost identical to the OEM one, same size and layout just white in color. Can anyone confirm if their OEM filter has a grey fabric? Mine doesn''t look dirty, but its grey and I''ve never seen a grey filter.

Also, I''ve been told that the OEM filter does not contain carbon. Can anyone confirm the truth to this?
