    Is the 17801-68020 air filter the washable one?

    I just replaced my air filter with the oem 17801-68020 for my 1992 FJ80. I have read since that some oem air filters are washable. Is the one I installed washable? If not, what is the stock number for the washable for a 1992? Thanks in advance.

    My 1992 FJ80 is making some wierd low to medium pitch whistling (not a high pitch like belts squealing) - only when starting. After a 5 minutes or so it stops. It seems to be coming from the passenger side in the engine bay. The a/c compressor was replaced and that is when I first noticed it...

    Sources for new A/C

    The a/c on my 1992 stopped blowing cold in July here in FL. It was tested for leaks and recharged with R12 last year. I haven't gotten into to diagnosing it further (yet), but in preparation of having to replace the compressor, should I stick with OEM or is there another brand that is...

    evaporator replacement

    Last April I recharged my AC system with R-12 on my 1992 LC and it kept me VERY COLD over the summer. After a few months of no AC, I turned the AC on and the compressor wasn't turning on.

    Although I have had my FJ80 for 10 years, it has essentially been in storage with very little driving. It will soon be my daily driver, so I am preparing to do a lot of PM. I have almost zero mechanic experience but have learned so much just researching this forum. First to correct is a hard...

    I may need to recharge my AC. Have read ALOT regarding R134 conversions and have decided to stay with R12 until the need to replace major components arise. I have seen several brands on ebay - dupont, artic air, chargette, etc. - and I have heard some may not be 100% pure (contain...
