just an FYI, the cabin air flow moves from top to bottom...

just finished installing (3M filter) and worked like a charm

4) Just use some scissors and cut it into a square just like the old filter
5) Place the new 3M filter in the plastic box that holds it. (make sure you note the way the airflows goes)
6) Use the 3M sticker or if you have a navi with custom maintenance to remind to change every 6 months.
Thanks, this helps a lot and will save money in the long run.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the vehicle is in recirculate mode. If not, you will force open the computer controlled damper and damage the HVAC system.

customer at the tune of $2000.00 damage from not having the recirculate mode on.

purolator breath easy from advance autoparts...its $13.50. Theres a bunch of coupon codes right now (fatwallet.com) for online purchases with instore pickup.

I used the $20 off $50 purchase and bought some cabin filters, oil filters for the camry, and some cleaning supplies.
