Genuine Toyota Air Filters

Your Toyota car, truck, SUV, or van came with two factory-installed air filters. Much like your oil filter and fuel filter, they serve one very important purpose. That's to capture harmful contaminants before they can get into your vehicle.

In the case of your air filters, one protects your engine components while the other keeps your HVAC system clean.

Your engine air filter is located near the air intake, and captures those pollutants before they can make their way into your engine. Should they get to the engine and gather there, their build up can inhibit engine performance.

The cabin air filter is typically located either behind your glove compartment or under the front cowling. It's job is to prevent irritants and allergens from getting into your passenger space through the air vents. Without it, the air you breathe would be lower-quality and potentially harmful.
