Friends: 1 |  Cabin & engine air filters ?? Hi Guys & Gals Would/could someone please tell me the best place to purchase a cabin air filter & also the engine air filter at a great price with free delivery ? My wife took her 2006 Prius in for the free oil changs & the service advisor tried to sell her both of these filters, a tire rotation & also a four wheel alignment. A well trained fellow ! And, any installation instructions would also be appreciated. Thanks ! Bill in FL |

Friends: 6 | Re: Cabin & engine air filters ?? I get mine from Metro. Shipping isn't free (there ain't no free lunch  ) but buying them in quantity reduces the per-unit shipping, and it's still substantially cheaper than what most dealers charge.The engine air filter is quite simple: It's in the black rectangular shaped plastic box in the engine compartment, towards the left as you're looking from the front. There are several clips that hold the top in place. Release those and the lid comes off to provide access to the filter. Make sure you don't allow any debris accumulated on the top of the filter to drop into the air opening beneath it. The cabin filter also is pretty simple, though pictures might make it easier to explain. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Cabin & engine air filters ?? I buy mine from the local Toyota dealer. Instructions for changing both at on this site John's Stuff - Toyota Prius and more. Both are easy and take about 5 minutes. |

Follow the instructions linked or discussed above. It is extremely easy to change both of them and after the first time you could probably do both in two minutes (depending on how much junk is in your glove box!)

Friends: 0 | Re: Cabin & engine air filters ?? FRAM has both filters now. CA10159 for air intake and CF9846A for cabin. Both run about $18 at local parts stores. Might be overall savings after paying freight from on-line purchase. |

Friends: 1 | Re: Cabin & engine air filters ?? Using the FRAM part numbers that you provided I found them on Google at - rockauto.com - for $13.75 for the cabin air filter & $7.51 for the fuel air filter + shipping of $6.70 to FL from CA. Not a bad deal ! Thanks for all of these tips & if you have a better deal - please let me know. Thanks ! Bill in FL Last edited by wtfjr36; 06-03-2009 at 10:17 PM. |
