In Cabin Filter

Do a search on here and they show how to make a re-usable one from a house air filters. Total cost is right around $20.

 

I buy the Fram's at Walmart.

 

$14 at Auto Zone.

 

I believe I'll start buying that $5 listed above with my next Amazon order. I just ordered about $100 worth of crap last night off Amazon too. Dammit.

 

These are what I buy. I run Purolator in engine...pick them up when in sale at Advanced Auro or Amazon.

 

I only use Toyota oil filters in the engine.

 

I also run a charcoal cabin during hunting season....wet & stinky dogs (myself sometimes).

 

Any recommendation on the engine air filter?
That will probably be next. It was listed in the "yellow" probably needed attention in the future.

 

OEM.

 

I usually use the Fram's for that too.

 

I meant I use Purolator engine air filter. Always OEM for oil filter.

 

+1.

 

+1 for the charcoal filter. PO was a smoker, and the charcoal filter I installed a couple months ago has been money well spent!

 

OEM oil filter and air filter is all I will use.

I do all service items myself. I bought the first cabin filter from the dealer for 35 bucks that I installed myself !
I got 7 of them (delivered) from Rock Auto for the same price ...

 

Just ordered mine from rock auto

 

The last time I was at a Toyota dealership getting my leaf springs replaced, I saw a service advisor walking into the child's play area, with a cabin air filter so choked with debris he had to hold it horizontal to a mother. In my opinion, this should be a complimentary service by Toyota, instead of charging for a service that simple.

 

My dealer used to change them for free. Owners of the Ford dealership in town bought them and the filters went from $15 to $28 and it's costs $22 to put the new one in ($50 total to replace and install). Of course it's free to put the old one back in. WTF?

I didn't change mine till it was 8 years old and half the stuff that was laying on top, I could believe made it to the filter. My fans volume of air at least doubled and will not let it go that long again. I still haven't been able to reinstall the shock on the dash door compartment, so it stays on after Toyota did a multi point inspection and didn't reinstall it, leaving it in there after checking the filter.

 

Just bought two OEM engine air filters for $15/ea and two OEM cabin air filters for $10/ea via Amazon sellers. Self-install takes minutes if you're slow and take your time.
