Air filter

[Stellapr]

Well my 04 is getting to 20,000 and will need a filter for the first time. I noticed in Walmart they sell the Fram brand and have a filter available for the Corolla. Should I get this or go to the Toyota dealer and get a Toyota one?

Is a filter the same no matter what brand?

Toyota Air filters are better than Fram.

Stick with either Toyota or get a wix brand (NAPA gold, Carquest) filter
Fram hasn't been good since they were bought by autolite

the fram filters maybe helpful but still i recomend you to for a specific for toyota since few of them have different size.

Purolator is supposed to be good as well from what I hear. I use Purolator oil and air filters in mine.

take out the airbox and put in an intake... nah just playing, but yeah stay away from FRAM, they use to actually have good products

I went to change my air filter a few weeks ago and I noticed the old filter was still clean all around. So I kept the old filter in and will change it later on this summer.

Then I moved on to the cabin air filter. It was beyond filthy. I highly suggest doing both filters at the same time if possible.
