I know some of Lexus and Toyota models have an upgraded cabin filter with the charcoal in the filter. You should see if Toyota has one that fits the FR-S. I know it does cost a lot more then the usually one. Last one I bought from Lexus was $35.

The normal cabin filter does not eliminate odor.
How ever, Toyota does provide a a carbon version of the cabin filter that is supposed to eliminate, if not, get lessen the odor.

I have it on my 2010 Corolla, and it helps... some what.


*when you press recycle... the cabin filter is filtering already filtered air.... which further eliminate some odor.

*Also, can someoen clarify this, IIRC, the non-AC air, (when AC is not activated) the air is not filtered. It simply allow heated air from outside to enter the car. Read that somewhere, but can someone more experienced in car HVAC system chime in?
