As I also indicated Wix doesn't make an XP for this application. Here is a screen shot of the vehicle specific application from their website.
Part Number: 57047XP fits the GS350. I did a huge write up on Club Lexus a while back outlining why Lexus did NOT want synthetic filters to be known on certain models. I along with hundreds of other Lexus owners have been running XP filters on GS's,RC's,LS's that supposedly didn't have XP options.
That filter may fit a GS350 but not hers, did you even pay attention to the screen shot of the filter listing for her car? Her filter is significantly longer than the 57047. The correct filter for her car is 57173, which as I've stated now three times isn't offered in an XP.
we're done? didn't know we were a thing LOL. I was done with you a ways back. I don't know how much technical stuff I can hit you with as your statements start off with Glass media can't even filter dirt, etc. If you think a glass media filter can't do anything, how am I to explain to you how it contains the fuel residual trapping it between the fibers?
Did you read? Ah no you didn't. If you had, you would have read that I have put that filter on GS350's and did a lengthy write up on other Lexus models experiencing the same issue. Owners wanted XP but no official option. That filter on a GS350 fits and performs better than the official recommendation.
