Title: 2016 Toyota Corolla air filter question
Post by: DoubleJ on February 13, 2018, 03:36:23 PM: So, I needed to change the air filter in my 2016 Toyota Corolla. I opened the air box and there are 2 filters in there. I can only find the one on the right for sale anywhere. Does anyone know what the one on the left, still in the top of the box is called so I can replace that one as well?

Thanks

:yeah: i ran into that with my 05 tundra. that secondary "screen" is firmly attached to the housing, too.

If it's secure, don't fiddle with it.

it's there to protect the maf from chunks, I wouldn't touch it. Just trust that some smart guy from Toyota had a plan.

I bet you've used that line before.

Many times but usually with much less tact. :bash:
