keep us posted with any cel codes. I have the same setup with the breather, but oiled filter. I got a couple of error codes at around 1200+ miles. My dealer told me that is was the air intake causing the codes. I don’t think that was the issue, but that’s is what I was told. I uninstall everything, but plan on reinstalling when I get some time.

Awesome! Did you notice a throatier sound and a punchier response? Could all be my imagination, but I swear mine was different when I installed the TOM’s filter.

I meant to send a follow up when you first posted about it… So the codes immediately went away after the OEM components were re-installed?

what were the codes? Toyota and Lexus mass air flow sensors do not like oiled air filters.

no, the codes did not go away. I removed all aftermarket parts (elbow, breather, filter, air/oil separator) and drove about 30 miles and the error codes did not go away. That is when I decided to drive it to the dealer that is about 20 miles away. The codes were still present when I dropped it off. After I got it back, I’ve driven it about 30 miles so far with no error codes.

1. Bank 2 - P0174 - System too lean
2. P1170
3. Bank 1 - P0171 - System too lean

keep in mind that this was after over 1000 miles with the Aftermarket parts.

I think those folks over oiled theirs. I had one in my 2016 IS 350 FSport and had no problems whatsoever for the 3+ years I had it.

😂😂 That’s funny. You have to let us know when you’re finally able to take it out!
