Hello Nick. Toyota recommends that both Engine and Cabin air filters be changed at 10,000 miles for ‘extreme’ service and 15,000 to 30,000 for normal service. And of course that’s the official word. But our opinion is that mileage is a good indicator since it gives an idea of how much the filter needed to do its job, but it’s only part of the story. For example if you live in NY you may have been affected by the extreme wild fires from Canada in 2023 - air quality was a total mess and might have accelerated filter replacements. We have a number of cars that range from daily drivers to limited use, and our area and use combo is not extreme by any measure. We check them one year after it was changed. You see how easy it is to pull them out and do a visual ‘light filtration’ look, so it’s 10 minutes to do. If they look past it, we change it. But otherwise they get changed every other year at the two year mark or 15,000 miles whichever comes first. The filters are cheap enough on-line that the use doesn’t need to be pushed to limits. Thanks for watching and for sparking a good discussion.
Hello Harold. Sorry you didn’t like it. It was our opinion that clearly describing the two versions side by side would help folks recognize the differences and be able to address their need by only having to look up one video with a consistent presentation style. Appreciate the feedback, and will consider this as we move forward.
Excellent and very clear description of the steps needed to be followed. Keep adding procedures for Toyota models.

Bad video! You should have made two different videos, don’t talk about two different versions in one video! Confused my daughter..
