Toyota Highlander Air Filters

All cars use air filters, and the Toyota Highlander is no different. You should be aware of when they need to be changed and why regular replacements are important. Also, be sure before you buy any part that it will fit with your specific make and model of Highlander.

What is the difference between cabin and engine air filters?
  • A Toyota Highlander, like other cars, actually has two air filters. They both perform different roles.
  • The engine air filter protects the engine by keeping debris and dust out of the inner workings of your car. Without it, the engine or other parts can get full of gunk. This could potentially prevent internal systems from functioning correctly.
  • The cabin air filter performs a similar role. It keeps that same outside gunk from getting into your cabin. This helps keep the inside of your Highlander clean and the air fresh.
How often should you replace the air filter?

Filter replacement times vary. It can be measured in time or in miles. It can also depend on the environment in which you drive. The general advice is to change out your air filter at least once every three years or 30,000 miles.

Will the procedure for replacing it vary?

Yes, the procedure for replacing the air filter might be different depending on your model. The procedure will also vary depending on whether you need to change the engine air filter or the cabin air filter. The engine air filter is typically more difficult to access. It is located in a sealed box in the engine bay. Check your owners manual for details.

What does changing the air filter do?

Changing the air filter on regular occasions has a number of benefits.

  • The air in your cabin will be fresher, cleaner, and better for you to breathe. This is particularly helpful for anyone who has allergies or other breathing problems.
  • It can help with acceleration. It is estimated that a dirty air filter can decrease acceleration by around 6% to 11%.
  • It will help you continuously get maximum gas mileage out of your car.
What are signs the engine air filter needs replacement?

While sometimes it can be hard to tell if your air filter needs replacement without opening up your Toyota Highlander to check, there are some external signs that point to a clogged filter:

  • A sudden decrease in gas mileage. When air doesnt flow into the engine freely, it is harder on the engine.
  • Ignition problems. This often occurs because gunk gets on the spark plugs and prevents the engine from igniting properly.
  • Your Highlander has gone without changing its filter for longer than the owners manual recommends. Different models from different years might have different recommendations, although 12,000 to 15,000 miles is about average. It also might depend on the driving you do and the weather conditions where you live.
