Why are Filters so Important?

There are multiple different kinds of filters in your vehicle, all with their own job, but all united in helping protect your Toyota from harmful contaminants.

This filter helps to clean out the air that comes into your cabin. It does so by removing items like dust, pollen and other potentially dangerous airborne particles.

The oil in your vehicle is, perhaps, the most important fluid under the hood, and thus an oil filter helps to ensure proper oil flow and removes any dangerous contaminants in the oil, allowing it to do its job to its best ability.

What are the Signs Your Vehicle Needs a New Filter?

The filters in your vehicle should be changed regularly, and checked regularly during typical maintenance on your vehicle. Your owner’s manual will have specific guidelines on your exact model, so you can follow what has best been set out for your Toyota model. With that being said, on a rough guideline, your cabin air filter should be checked every 8,000 km, and be changed once it becomes dirty. For the engine air filter, ensure to change it between 24,000 km to 48,000 km, where needed.
