Toyota Air Filter Replacement 101

Check Engine light popping up on the dash in your Toyota vehicle? Maybe your engine's misfiring and losing power, you're having trouble speeding up, or worse: black smoke's coming out of the exhaust. Most of the time, it's not a bad fuel injector, luckily, or even a faulty ignition coil, but just a case of clogged or worn-out air filters. We'll tell you how to change them on most Toyota models.

Where to Find Air Filters in a Toyota

Whether on a car like Toyota Corolla, an SUV like Toyota RAV4, or otherwise, you'll find the engine air filter on top of (or on the side of) the engine. The cabin air filter, on the other hand, is right behind the glove compartment. Consult your owner's manual for specifics on location; it can vary by model.

How to Change an Engine Air Filter

1. Pop your hood, find the top of the engine filter's housing, remove it, and take the old filter out.
2. Clean out the housing, either by vacuuming it or by wiping away any dirt and debris. Be sure to get all the edges, too.
3. With any rubber rim facing up/out, put the new filter in, and replace the housing's top.

Replacing a Cabin Air Filter

1. Open the glove compartment, find the pin and screw that hold it up, remove them, and lower the compartment.
2. Behind the compartment, you'll see a cabin filter cover; pull it off.
3. Take the old filter out and either vacuum or wipe out the housing area.
4. Put the new filter in, replace the cover, raise the compartment back how it was before, put the screw and pin back in, and close the compartment.

As with any service, if you're not sure what to do, contact a Toyota dealer or service center; a pro will be happy to help.
