    I was checking the status of my air filter this weekend and when I popped the airbox cover off I noticed a second filter that seems to be integrated into the cover of the box. I have the normal filter with the weird gasket sitting in the lower airbox, but there seems to be a second filter in the cover.

    1. What is this thing?
    2. Do I need to change it?
    3. I can't seem to find a part number or replacement schedule.

    I will try to get a quick picture at lunch today.

    2007 Toyota Prius base w/ option 3. 130,000 miles.
