Don't Clean Your Wallet: A BEST BUY For A Charcoal-Impregnated Cabin Air Filter !

Replacing your vehicle's cabin air filter should be a relatively simple procedure once you figure out how to access it through the glove compartment. It is a simple install which can save you considerable money over having this done by your dealer or independent mechanic. In general, the more pleats to the filter, the greater the degree of filtration. This filter adds activated charcoal and baking soda to the mix to provide an even greater degree of filtration into the cabin but may slightly decrease the volume of air entering the cabin. This is an excellent filter at an excellent price. I have purchased this several times for my 2012 Toyota RAV-4 V6 and replace it every year. PROS: 1. Number of Pleats: (CP285 only): 20 Pleats 2. Filter Media: Charcoal and baking soda impregnated for more effective air cleaning compared with conventional cabin air filters. 3. Installation Instructions: Clear installation instructions provided with graphics on rear of box. 4. Packaging: Filter is sealed in plastic film inside box for double protection. 5. Customer Support: Available @ 1 (800) 349-0716 and by email on box rear. 6. Price Point: Best in class for $9. Toyota's OEM replacement sells for $51.00 at Toyota dealers-you do the math here. CONCERNS: 1. Volume of air filtration inside cabin: This is more of a reality than a concern but folks should reasonably expect a small, marginal decrease in the volume of air being introduced inside the cabin as a result of the additional layer of charcoal/baking soda. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Appears to be every bit as good in design and engineering, quality of manufacture, frame integrity and filtration performance as the charcoal- impregnated OEM cabin filter from Toyota (87139-50100). A BEST BUY in my opinion. 2. Be careful to cross-reference installation for your vehicle to verify correct direction and insertion of filter into your vehicle. 3. If you live in an urban area, consider replacing every 6-12 months.

Worked Great

Purchased this for my Wife's 2014 Toyota RAV 4. It arrived as promised and was nicely packaged. It matched the OEM perfectly. Simple to install, you open the glove box, then disconnect the Dampener Arm located on the right side (see attached photo with Red circle). Simply pull it off. Empty glove box or it will all dump on the floor after the next step. Squeeze in on the sides of the glove box to release the stops. The glove box can swing down, but it can also simply pull out. Now unclip the right hand side of the cabin filter cover (see attached photo with Red Square). Pull out the filter making sure you denote the Air Flow direction and make sure the folds of the filter are going the same direction as the one you pull out. Replace with new filter and put cabin filter cover back on. I then turned on the ignition and turned on the fan to make sure everything was working ok before putting it all back together. Once you are happy, then put the glove box back together. NOTE, make sure and remember to re-clip the Dampener Arm back on once the glove box is snapped back into place. Dump all you junk back into the glove box and now you are good to go.

Should have changed it sooner

Fits on a 2011 Toyota Corolla S. The old one I took out was TERRIBLE. It was full of leaves and a big clump of what looked like a mouse nest... Had not changed it in 5 years, so it was about time. Be aware: The stock Toyota filter has an arrow that points to "top". While this filter has an arrow that points in the direction of airflow, which is the opposite direction.

$68

That's how much the dealer's been charging my wife to replace these things every six months despite my asking her NOT to do this, to let ME buy these cheaper through Amazon.com. She finally relented when the price went up by ten bucks. Seventy eight dollars for an air filter slightly smaller than a notebook. Over the past ten years I've owned my Toyota, replacing these myself, that's about $120 a year saved. Takes five minutes tops to do. Shops charge incremental hourly fees for the job and roll it in with a tune-up price. Easy money. So I tell the service manager EVERY time I go in for an oil change/tire rotation, to write on the instructions DON"T TOUCH CABIN AIR FILTER. I put a label over the cover for my filter that reads "Don't touch! Talk to owner" You see, last time I went, when I got home, I found the tape on the floor of my car, and one of the latches broken on the cover. Went back last week, despite instructions, new tape, the tech STILL came to ask the manager if he should replace the filter. Sheesh. Could be worse, another dealer's shop actually replaced my K&N air filter on the engine with an OEM filter, THREW OUT the K&N despite a sticker on the cover saying "DO NOT DISCARD FILTER". I changed shops that time, long ago, aren't so many dealers around to choose from, but yeah, they're all that greedy. Once you figure out how to pull the old filter (it's easier than it looks, involves emptying the glove box maybe - depends what's in it - and disconnecting a little piston that slows the movement of the box cover), replace it with new, you'll never go back. I like these filters, as does my wife. Only issue, complaint, suggestion is, the OEM filters have printed on them "UP" with an arrow. EPAuto's read "Airflow" with an arrow. Took some thinking to figure this one out (hint: look for the dirty side, with leaves and bugs and stuff plastered on it). Get some.

WRONG NUMBER OF PLEATS BUT STILL A GREAT BUY

MY CARS. I have 2 cars so I ordered 2 of these. One was for a Rav4 and the other was for a Lexus. NUMBER OF PLEATS. The number of pleats (folds) is much less than what is shown in the picture. This is important because the higher number of pleats means that it filters more air. Of course the manufacturer prefers lesser pleats because that means less material so less cost. The number of pleats that I recieved was 13. The number of pleats shown in the picture is 19. QUALITY. This filter contains baking soda and carbon. Other filters on Amazon do not, so this is a huge bonus, especially when this filter is so much cheaper than everything else. AIR FLOW. The only other major problem that I can foresee is air flow. Despite the lesser pleats, this filter is pretty thick due to the carbon and baking soda. Comparing this air filter with another brand, the air flow from the air conditioning vents seems less but sufficient. FIT. I had made a previous post which stated that one of the filters did not fit my Rav4. I found out that the error was on my car's part. I found out that no filters fits well with this car. The shape of the car's compartment is crooked. On the other hand, I did find small variations in the filter's dimensions. The measurements vary by an 1/8 of an inch. That's sort of a big deal since that means these filters are not a complete seal as air will flow through the hole of least resistance. CONCLUSION. The number of pleats is slightly important to me but it isn't enough to deter me to purchase a more expensive filter. I'd rather just buy filters more often since all filters get dirty pretty quick due to the outside air (depending upon where you live). I suggest you buy this filter due to the pretty awesome price of $9. It still has charcoal in it so I bet you that it filters just as well as the OEM and other filters. And you really can't beat the price. Just make sure you switch it out every 6 months. *If this review was helpful, please click that it was helpful. (I'd like to know if my reviews help anyone.)

Nice filter! I own a 2007 Camry and the filter is located behind the glove box. Folks you can change these yourself in two minutes! The Toyota dealer in Irvine, CA charges $70 to replace them! Don't get ripped off. There's always You Tube if you need instructions. I change mine once a year.

Very Easy DIY Cabin Filter Replacement

Extremely easy to replace on every car just YouTube it , save your money the dealership will rip you off. I changed mine on my two 2012 Toyota Corolla LE's, all you have to do on the Corolla's is push in on the glove compartment and you can access the cabin filter.

It is just as sturdy and had the same number of pleats as the ...

The two CP285 cabin air filters I received were identical to the Fram filters I had been buying at Walmart for 2.5 times the price. It is just as sturdy and had the same number of pleats as the Fram. It looked to me like they came from the same factory. These filters look square, but are slightly rectangular (regardless of manufacturer), so you need to be make sure you orient it properly when inserting it into the slot. Don't force it in or it will get bent up and not go back to it's original shape. With respect to the air flow installation arrow printed on the side, I've seen Fram filters printed with "UP" arrows or "Air Flow" arrows. You just need to know which way is up and which way the air flows (they are the opposite of each other).

Easy to install - but don't get confused...

Cabin filter seems to work fine. Able to save a lot of money over the dealer / service station installation of a new filter - and it is not that difficult to install. No tools needed and it takes maybe 10 - 15 minutes depending on how handy you are. Follow instructions on box which are correct. The OEM filter may have "UP" printed on the original filter. This is nothing more than how the filter should be orientated in the compartment. The replacement filters normally show an air-flow direction arrow - Don't let this confuse the installation as air flow is normally down (air is drawn through the filter by the blower assembly). So the arrow will point down during installation towards the blower motor.

Great price for a great product.

The dealer showed me my cabin air filter and it was really dirty. I asked them how much it would cost to replace it. They quoted me $41.00. I went on Amazon and found this one for under $9.00. The order arrived quickly and in three minutes, I took out the old filter and replaced it with this one which fit perfectly. It does come with clear instructions if you are concerned about doing it yourself. I have a Toyota Matrix.
