 Appropriate low cost alternative to Toyota OEM filter |

| Reviewer: Silent Reviewer, Fremont, CA USA |
| My Toyota Camry V6 2007 LE was due for the cabin air filter change. The local Toyota dealer charge 69.99 just for cabin air filter replacement which I thought to be too much. Though I never did change the cabin air filter by myself, I thought it must not be very difficult. So I was looking to do it by myself. So I went to Toyota dealer to buy the filter and do it myself. Then the spare parts department charges around 30 bucks for the filter itself. Finally I was down to Amazon and saw this TYC filter. I did not know I could find it in Amazon though. However, I ordered it and I did the replacement by seeing the Camry manual. Its pretty easy to replace the filter. And this one fits properly for my Toyota 2007 Camry. Go for it guys, dont spend 70 bucks to just replace the filter. Write to me if you want to know how to replace it, I could probably do a short video showing how to do it. |

| For a Camry SE 4 cylinder, The TYC filter is similar to the factory cabin filter except for the arrow orientation. The factory wants you to put the filter with the arrow pointing up while the TYC instructs you to have the arrows pointing down (the direction of the air flow). |
Comparable to OEM

TYC cabin air filters work great and are comparable to OEM parts. The filter works well and was very easy to install. I used this in my Camry Hybrid and so far no problems.
The OEM (original manufacture brand) is more rigid and feels like it is made of higher quality, while this is softer, and feels a bit cheaper. The Camry OEM part is hard like a cardboard box, and this one made by TYC feels more like a stack of papers. It can bend, but not break, while the OEM is rock hard.
However, the OEM part costs about $40 from Toyota. As long as it captures the impurities in the air, and I see it dirty when I change it, its working to me. Save yourself some money and get this from TYC.
Change your cabin air filter ever 12,000 miles, or when you notice a change in smell when you turn on the AC/heat. More often if you live in the city like I do, with all the smog and dirt.
I am satisfied with the quality and recommend you give it a try.
