Cabin filter OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

Take it to a Toyota dealership and change your own cabin filter (it's the easiest thing to do)

I change my oil+filter every 5k, engine+cabin filter every 15k, and CVT Drain and Fill every 60k (just once so far) and have not noticed anything weird or concerning.

I just did both on my 2005 corolla last week and it was $42 for both parts and 15 minutes of my time. Wpuld jave been $196 at budget near me.

It's not just the price/range keeping me away from this... I saw the video on changing a cabin air filter on this thing.

If that's how the air filter was engineered, I have my doubts about the rest of the vehicle.

Oh and there was evidence of a rodent’s nest in the cabin filter.

This happened to us with 2023 sienna after a dealers oil change !!! It turns out that they didn't close air intake filter cabin correctly. We were drive up to Canada at the time. We had to stop time to time to stop the warning. Check the air filter cabin and make sure it secure.

And don\u2019t get me started on that terrible cabin air filter placement\u2026

I personally warned someone considering this car not to get it for their family based on this video alone https://www.jalopnik.com/1925823/volkswagen-id-buzz-complicated-cabin-air-filter-replacement-tiktok/

And somehow its 50 to 70 bucks or whatever to change the cabin filter but they already took it out to show me and they put it back.... which is why I change oil myself....
