I know this was made 5 years ago but I'm grateful to have come across this now. I have a 2007 Toyota and the more I can do myself the happier I am. I went to the shop yesterday for a check and was told $40 for a clean filter! It didn't sound right. Now I'm glad I waited! Im actually looking forward to doing this myself. I love being able to take of my own problems. I pride myself on it.

Thanks for the video, even though it's pretty straightforward and might seem obvious to some people. My new Corteco filter came with instructions that said the air flow is from down to up and thus the filter would be upside down. It makes no sense though, since the old filter was dirty on top side, and I checked the flow direction by turning on the blower fan. Such a simple job but could've gone wrong if I just blindly followed the written instructions haha, cheers 👏

No dirty air comes in the top and that is obvious from the dirt that collects on top of the filter. It's not rocket science. All horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter have downward air flow.

Thanks very much for creating this video. BTW the reason I was looking into this is because of mice. It seems this is an area mice can get into your car and build a nest. Nasty!

Arrow pointing UP. Corolla 2008 manual, pg 164.

@ToddsGarage 5 жыл бұрын

i get this question or statement every so often and i understand how it can be confusing. The arrow on this filter and most aftetmarket filters should be pointed down because the arrow is indicating air flow direction. On the factory version of this air filter they just put an arrow and the owners manual says to install up, they wanted to make it simple for people that are not mechanics. So unfortunately there is no one answer for this. It depends on your air filter and whether the arrow is indicating installation direction or air flow direction. Thanks for the comment.

@njsongwriter 3 жыл бұрын

Toyota's OEM cabin air filter has an arrow that says up next to it. Toyota does not give you instructions on how to install other brands of cabin air filters. They give you instructions on how to install only Toyota brand filters Up means up. Air flow arrows should point down. You don't have to be college educated to figure this out. Dirty incoming air enters the top of the filter and that's why dirt collects on the top of the filter. It's not rocket science.

Up arrows should point up (no brainier). Air flow arrows should point down.
