Is there a DIY for this because I tried searching? I see one for cabin not engine. I just got the car 3 months ago and dont even know how to take off the engine covers yet, lol. So help me out guys, thanks

 

Unclip the top of the air box from the lower part. I think there are 4 clips. Lift airbox enough to remove filter element. Insert new filter element and replace top of airbox. Maneuver box so that it sits flush with element and lower air box. Snap close clips.

link above shows you how to change the air intake. removing the filter is part of it.

do #3 - a, b, c, d, g, h, i

 

Need to change air filter too, but whats good out there? Im hearing K&N or blitz?? No cheap stuffs plz.

 

If you like to drop some coin, go for the Tom's. It will give exactly the same result as all the other filter elements out there (HKS, K&N, Blitz, FSport, etc).

 

lol...

changing out the air filter is the easiest thing to do in any car.

1) open hood

2) pop off black covers(anybody with a competent brain can do it)

3) look for that big black square box attached to a black long tube, look for the metal clips that keep the box closed. unclip them and open the box.

4) remove dirty filter and replace with new filter. close box tightly, snap back the clips. put the plastic covers back on and youre done!

I only use toyota oem fiters.

 

I know this is late but I Thought I would add it if it helps anyone.
When I Did my Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter change, I took some pics and wrote out my steps. Here's the blog posts with them:
