Toyota Highlander Air Filter

The Toyota Highlander Air Filter is an important part in the car since it provides clean air for the engines hence allowing efficient combustion of fuel. Usually requiring replacement at 10,000-15,000 miles, the air filter removes particles or pollution that could harm the motor. Several types of air filters that may be employed in the Highlander include the pleated paper, foam, oiled cotton gauze, and stainless steel mesh types depending on the layout of the vehicle's engine and specific driving conditions. Each type has its own advantages in respect to efficiency, economics, and adaptability to the conditions for the proper and long-lived engine performance.

Toyota Highlander Air Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

Air Filter Element
17801-0H010
Q: Where is the air filter located and how do you remove and replace it on Toyota Highlander?
A: The air filter is located inside a housing at the left (driver's) side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the clamps retaining the two halves of the air filter housing. Lift the cover up and remove the air filter element. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Always wear eye protection when using compressed air! Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed. Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Installation is the reverse of removal. The hinge tabs on the housing cover must engage properly with the lower part of the housing.
