The part number listed in an eariler post (8856860010) comes up on www.toyotapartscheap.com as a "filter, air" for $20.96 (list $26.20). It doesn't specify if one or two are required or the type of media. |
It is a HEPA paper/fiber filter. The filters sit stacked one on top of the other, 2 high. Look very closely in the "step 5" picture and you will see me pulling out the top filter with the top tab of the lower filter barely visible underneath. They are identical parts so order a quantity of 2 for a single changeout.
As for the carbon filter; that would be worth pursuing. The automatic circulation sniffer works great for everything except skunk, it won't catch that but mine works very well at catching 4 wheeled stinkbombs before they get into the cabin.
