Friends: 63 | So far, I've only used the standard filters, though others have used furnace filters cut to size, and reported good results. Whatever filter you use, it will last longer and be more effective with regular cleanings. Usually every time I wash the car, I pull the filter out and vacuum it off, and if it looks dirty, I'll wash it, too. |

Friends: 0 | Re: DIY Cabin Filter Replacement - Anyone do this? The Gen III cabin filters are sold here for $20 each plus shipping http://www.metrotpn.com/ProductDetai...3&SortIndex=24 although the maintenance manual recommends blowing them out with an air compressor when they're dirty, so I don't intend to replace mine for a while. For anyone who hasn't done it before, DIY replacement or cleaning is a piece of cake. Just pop out the glove compartment (see manual) and slide the filter out. I pulled mine out a couple of days ago to check it and noted it has an integrated frame rather than a separate tray like the Gen II filter does. I haven't found any after market replacements for the Gen III filter yet.

Friends: 0 | Re: DIY Cabin Filter Replacement - Anyone do this? I just posted this on another maintenance topic before I saw this one. Question - on non-Solar Prius', is the A/C filter behind the glove box that you describe above the same thing as the Cabin Filter? I have had other cars where the Cabin Filter is located in the engine compartment under the wipers. The Maintenance Manual refers to Cabine Filter but the Owner's Manual only list the A/C filter and the engine filter. Thanks |
