Since I changed the in cabin air filter, it make no sense not to replace the engine air filter too. So I take a look at the engine air filter, and sure enough, it is hell of dirty too. Time to swap a new one! I went out and bought the Purolator A25463 Classic Air Filter (or if you like, you can get the OEM part that looks exactly like the genuine Toyota filter)
Old vs. New
It is quite easy to get to the air intake housing. To open up the box , you only need to release the two latches shown in the picture
Open it up. You want to first remove the filter and check (also clean) any dust and debris under the old filter.
Line up the lower left corner of the filter with the box and put the new filter in. There is only one way to fit it in so you don't have to worry about any mistake.
Close it up. And that is it!
After couple weeks with the new air filter, I am happy to report that I observed zero performance improvement and absolutely no benefit on the gas mileage! Yeah!
But hey, the "feel good" factor is still price less :)
