How long do these filters usually last?

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).

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?

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

The filter I got shown in my previous pic was pretty flimsy so I returned it. They didn't have any of the ones listed at the two Kragen's I went to.

I asked at a few places for the Fram CF10157 since it's a charcoal filter, but everywhere I looked it had to be ordered since it was a newer filter. So instead I went with the Fram CF10140 which is for the G35. It fits way better than the stock one which was a bit skinnier. This one is the same length and width, and leaves no gaps around the sides.

Cf10140 fits just right, thanks.
