It sits in the engine bay inside the air box for the 4.0‑liter V6, accessible under the hood ahead of the intake ducting.

Open the hood and look for a rectangular plastic housing secured with clips or screws; that’s the engine air box. The filter slides out once the cover is released. During service, we also inspect the intake sealing surfaces to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the element.

The engine air filter protects the 4.0L V6’s intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

The engine filter is in the under-hood air box and helps maintain power and fuel economy by keeping the mass airflow sensor clean. The cabin filter is typically behind the glove box and captures dust, pollen, and particulates for interior comfort. Both require periodic inspection and replacement with OEM-spec elements.

• Engine filter = combustion air; cabin filter = passenger air
• Locations: air box (engine) and behind glove box (cabin)
• Use genuine Toyota filters for proper fit

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine), and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).

The engine filter is DIY-friendly via the air box, while the cabin filter—typically behind the glove box—may require trim removal and careful reassembly.

If you prefer professional help, our Toyota Express Maintenance lane can handle both filters quickly, and you can check service specials before you come in.
