Many manufacturers, well-known and not so well-known, as well as packagers of other people’s spare parts, offer car owners, through their dealers and auto parts stores, filter elements for the oil, fuel, and air systems of the car.
The information is provided by a spare parts seller with many years of experience and is based on reviews from customers and auto mechanics of service centers, and the history of complaints.
A number of European warehouses that do not have their own production either in Japan or in Europe can write Japan on the packaging. And their barcode starts with 45, 49 (Japan) or 40 (Germany), but they are all made in China, Thailand, Korea, and other countries in Southeast Asia. Recently, an increasing number of packagers have begun to write Made in China on the box. Japanparts says Made outside the EU. The well-known Nipparts now also indicates the country of origin of the product on the packaging.
Analogues of the original Toyota Camry v40 cabin filter
In fact, the prices for original cabin filters from the Camry v40 are a little overpriced. For this reason, it is best to use substitutes.
- Budget option - TSN 9.7.97. Manufacturer – Citron, Russia. The average price of a filter is 130 rubles. The model is very popular, primarily because of its price/quality ratio. Sometimes you come across models with minor defects (the filter element is glued together directly in the corrugated warehouses). But since cabin filters from this company are now supplied not in cardboard boxes, but in transparent cellophane packaging, the defect can be seen visually. The most popular is the coal model - TSN 9.7.153. Price – 180 rub. In this model, the orientation of the folds is opposite to the original filter;
- Expensive quality - CU 1919. Manufacturer MANN-FILTER, Germany. Price – 350 rub. Good quality filter element, which is made of synthetic fabric. In terms of dimensions and orientation of the folds, the FE is identical to the original, therefore it is well suited for the Camry 40. Coal model - CUK 1919. Price - 690 rubles. It has a more solid carbon coating than the popular Russian budget TSN 9.7.153, but it is also much more expensive;
- Average price category – K 1210. Manufacturer – FILTRON, Poland. Price — 320 rub. Since the company is part of the MANN-FILTER corporation, the quality of the filter element of this spare part is no worse than MANN-FILTER CU 1919, but at a lower price. This particular model of spare part from FILTRON has only positive reviews. Coal model of the spare part is K 1210A. Price - 230 rub.
Cabin filter TSN 9.7.97.
Cabin filter MANN-FILTER CU 1919.
Cabin filter FILTRON K 1210 The cabin filter on this car is located in the passenger compartment, on the passenger side. It is located behind the glove compartment. To access the cabin filter, you need to remove the glove compartment. Behind it there is a horizontally oriented lid, which covers the filter itself.
Original Toyota filters
It will be important for someone to know that the presence of letters after a hyphen in the Toyota license plate indicates that the part was made not in Japan, but in another Asian country. For example, consider 90915-10004. Made where needed, and similar 90915-YZZE2, 90915-YZZD2 in Thailand. Also a good place, but not as wonderful in terms of the quality of spare parts as the land of the rising sun.
Original Toyota air filters are very expensive for Russian car enthusiasts. 17801-28030 is four times more expensive, and the similar 17801-0H050 is eight times more expensive than the Russian TSN 9.1.1014 for some reason I don’t want to buy it.
Operating principle
For 1 kg of fuel resource, the engine can consume about 15 kg of air mass; the intake is carried out outside the vehicle body. There is no dependence on weather conditions and other factors; in any situation, dust, stones and asphalt parts penetrate into the unit. The purpose of the element is to cleanse the air mass penetrating into the engine area from harmful elements and impurities.
As the vehicle operates, impurities in the air bypass the clogged filter and enter directly into the engine. If the filter of a Toyota Camry V50 or another model is clogged, this is indicated by some signs:
- A sharp increase in fuel consumption.
- Loss of power resources by a car.
- Carbon dioxide levels are high.
These facts are ignored by many drivers, so replacing the filter on a Toyota Camry is not carried out.
The need for a cabin filter
Driving in large cities involves constant traffic jams and the presence of hundreds of other vehicles. At the same time, colossal amounts of harmful substances enter the air, including:
- oxides of carbon and nitrogen;
- aldehydes, sulfur oxides;
- hydrogen fluoride;
- soot and small particles from tires;
- soot and heavy metal compounds.
All this poses a huge danger to the lungs of the driver and passengers. Constant exposure to these substances on the body and respiratory system can cause allergies or other lung problems. Feeling unwell while driving a car can also lead to an emergency situation on the road and, accordingly, getting into a traffic accident.
For this reason, it is recommended to promptly replace the Toyota Camry cabin filter. Every car owner can do this on their own, since the whole procedure does not present any particular difficulties.
How does the filter work and what are its features?
The filter operates according to a simple algorithm.
- The ventilation and heating system receives air flow from the street.
- The filter cleans it by absorbing all contaminants.
Through its use, the concentration of substances harmful to health is significantly reduced in the air. The filter does not allow dust, pollen and any other allergens to pass through. It also protects the air from exhaust gases and bacteria.
Replacing the Toyota Camry cabin filter is primarily necessary to preserve your health. In the photo below you will see how much dirt has accumulated on the old filter.

Good day to all! I decided to write another note for you about how to change the cabin air filter on a Toyota Camry 40. I would like to say right away that I did not find any prerequisites for replacing the filter, that is, fogging of the windows, or any foreign odors. Nevertheless, they change it periodically during maintenance, so I decided to change it too, but not in the service center, but MYSELF. So, let's begin…
This filter was purchased in a box like this for 320 rubles in a regular auto parts store
There is an arrow on the filter itself that shows the direction of air through this filter. The photo did not fit the inscription in English after the name, which reads like this: Made in Poland
Let's start replacing. The filter is located in the car on the right side behind the glove box. The photo shows the glove box itself
Open the box. On the right side of the drawer, you need to remove the shock absorber, which gives the drawer a smooth ride when opening and closing it. To do this, take the shock absorber with your right hand and pull it away from the box. The shock absorber ring comes out of the mount easily, there should be no problems
Closer to the back, on the side walls of the box on the left and right there are two stops, one on the left side and the other on the right, they prevent the box from falling down when it is fully opened. In the photo there is a stop that is on the right side
In this photo you can see the stop which is on the left side. Next, carefully squeeze the side walls towards each other and remove the stops from the places where they actually rest, lowering the box down
Next, lower the box completely down and simply remove it from the lower hinges. Let's put it aside.

After removing the box we see the cover behind which is the cabin filter
The cover is easy to remove. There are latches on the sides (left and right) of the lid. We simultaneously press two latches towards each other, and while holding the latches pressed, pull the cover towards you
There is an arrow on the lid itself that shows where the lid is at the top. It is impossible to put the lid back upside down, the grooves and latches will not match. After removing the cover we see the front edge of the filter.
We pull it towards ourselves and pull it out.
After I pulled out the old filter, I started the car, turned on the interior airflow to maximum and ran it in all modes so that all the debris flew out of the filter cassette.
I got a filter from this one. This is the top side. There was a lot of sand, dust and other rubbish
This is the reverse (bottom) side of the filter. In general, the filter is very dirty. Well, then everything is simple, take a new filter, insert it in such a way that the arrow on the filter shows the direction DOWN, since the air in the filter cassette itself is supplied TOP DOWN, then snap the lid on, and install the glove box in the reverse order. That's it! The asking price is 320 rubles.

You can find information about the frequency of filter replacement in your car's manual. As a rule, this figure ranges from 25 to 30 thousand kilometers. It should be borne in mind that for people living within the city, replacement must be done much more often (every 10 thousand kilometers).
There are also a number of signs that indicate the need for urgent replacement. This may include:

- dust appears when the fan is turned on;
- increased glass fogging.
Replacing the Toyota Camry v40 and v50 cabin filter will help eliminate these problems. You can also determine the level of wear visually. A new filter is white, while a worn one is usually blackened. Remember that this element is capable of stopping up to 99 percent of harmful substances, dust and soot.
Instructions for replacing the cabin filter Toyota Camry V40, V50
To replace the cabin filter on a Toyota Camry, you need to remove the glove compartment to provide access to the heater housing. This is done as follows. 1. Open the glove compartment and remove everything from it. 2. We move aside the gas lift, which serves to smoothly open the glove compartment, and disconnect it.
3. Move the entire drawer to the left to release the right latch.
4. Pull the box towards you a little and remove the second latch from the groove.
5. Remove the plug from the cabin filter housing. This is done very simply. You just need to press the latch located on the left side and pull the filter plug towards you.
6. Now we simply pull out the cabin filter towards ourselves and install a new filter element in its place
Please note that the cabin filter must be installed strictly in the direction of air flow. Most filter manufacturers indicate the direction of air flow with arrows and write AIR FLOW next to them.
The air flow comes from the street into the interior. Those. in this case, the filter should be positioned with arrows down. However, there are filters that do not indicate the direction of air flow, but the top of the filter. In this case, it is written not AIR FLOW, but UP. Take these points into account so as not to make mistakes with the installation.
7. Install the cabin filter in place and snap the plug. 8. Assemble the glove compartment in the reverse order. All! Replacing the Toyota Camry cabin filter is now complete. Agree that this is a very simple procedure to go to a car service to have it done. In addition, I called five random services in our city and was very surprised at the cost of replacing the cabin filter on a Toyota Camry. On average in the city they asked from 300 to 500 rubles for such work. This cost is equivalent to the cost of a good “double” cabin filter. So, by doing this work yourself, you can also save a lot of money. We have also prepared for you a video of replacing the Toyota Camry cabin filter, which clearly shows all the stages of the work. We recommend watching the video if you have any questions.

How to replace the cabin filter?
The technical regulations for the Toyota Camry V50, and for the bulk of cars of other brands and models, recommend replacing the cabin filter every 10,000 km. However, after I went for maintenance in April 2015, the manager said that the plant had removed this recommendation. Well, let the factory clean it up, but we want to breathe fresh and clean air, so I personally change it every 5,000 km.
The catalog number of the cabin filter is 87139-52020. The filter itself is relatively inexpensive, but if you buy something other than the original one, the price for the originals is higher:
The price for non-original cabin filters is lower, and there is a much larger selection - the online store has about 100 items in various price categories. I try to buy original filters, but I’m not going to impose anything on anyone’s taste and color.
