The cabin filter on a Toyota Camry (V40) is replaced during annual maintenance or when the efficiency of the cabin ventilation system decreases. Before starting repairs, you need to find out where the filter element is located and purchase a spare cartridge (original or manufactured by third-party suppliers). In regions with high dust levels, it is recommended to change the part 2 times a year (in spring and autumn).
Purpose and location of the cabin filter
The cabin filter on the Camry 40 is located in the ventilation duct, which directs the air flow from the street to the radiators of the air conditioning system. The cartridge is made of a special material that retains fine dust and pollen that cause allergies.
It is allowed to use an element containing activated carbon, which cleans the air in the cabin from unpleasant odors. The cabin filter is located in a special slot behind the glove box housing.
When to replace

Typically, the regularity of purchasing a new filter is 15-30 thousand kilometers, however, this is an individual indicator for each car. It largely depends on weather conditions and terrain. In urban environments or desert areas, clogging will occur much faster. The best way to determine the condition of the filter is to perform a visual inspection. If the part is black or dark brown, it means it's time to buy a new air filter.
Neglecting replacement can lead to several consequences, in particular:
- Increased fuel consumption.
- Significant loss of power.
- Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) content in the exhaust.
- In the long term - engine failure and the need for major repairs.
How does the cabin filter work?
The air purification element consists of end guide covers and a corrugated central section made of synthetic material. The air flow is pumped through the pores due to the rotating fan impeller. Incoming dust and small debris (such as dry leaves or insects) are retained by the protective element. When removing the filter, dirt gets onto the heat exchangers of the air conditioning system, reducing the efficiency of heating or cooling the air. Fine dust flies into the car interior and contaminates the air ducts and ventilation deflectors.
Sequence of operations
It is advisable to buy the original or entrust a professional to select a worthy analogue at a cheaper price.

It's time to pop the hood of your car and get to work. A car enthusiast who does not know the structure of the car will have a question: “Where is the filter located?” In the box - pictured in the center:
Unfasten the 3 latches on the box (without any effort, with your hands). Lift the box lid, slide it to the right and remove the filter that needs replacing. Install the purchased filter, put the lid back on and secure the structure with latches. The process will take a minute and a half maximum. And you will spend the lion's share of time printing out the product packaging.
Are you unsure which side to place the filter in the box? Place it so you can read the markings (see photo 1).
Thrifty craftsmen vacuum and wash the dirty filter. We consider the procedures to be ineffective. For normal operation, you should replace the Toyota Camry V40 air filter .
Please note: when replacing the filter, you do not need specific knowledge, a diploma as a car mechanic or many years of experience in a service station, no tools are used. Forget about visits to a car service center. A child can cope with the task, not to mention an adult who knows how to drive a vehicle.

Original and analog filters for Camry V40
(V40) requires replacing the air purification unit annually or after 10 thousand kilometers. When delivering a vehicle from the factory and servicing the vehicle at official dealers, an original Toyota cartridge (catalog number 87139-50060) is used. The part costs from 2.6 thousand rubles, so owners use filters from alternative suppliers: they are lower in price, and in terms of workmanship they are not inferior to original products from Toyota.
When purchasing original spare parts, there is a risk of purchasing counterfeit products. The parts have packaging that imitates packaging from Toyota, but the quality of the components does not meet the requirements. When using a counterfeit filter, which may have incorrect dimensions, polluted air enters the car interior. It clogs radiators and air ducts of the ventilation system. Choosing parts from alternative manufacturers reduces the risk of buying a counterfeit.
The main analogues of the cabin filter for Toyota Camry V40:
- Nipparts J1342027, equipped with an activated carbon filter element. The part protects the interior from unpleasant odors; clogging occurs after driving more than 9 thousand km in urban conditions. The cost of the part starts from 400 rubles.
- Mann-Filtercuk FP1919 with carbon filler, suitable for Camry, Auris, Corolla and Land Cruiser 100/150. The cartridge consists of an anti-dust layer, a gasket with activated carbon and an additional section that protects the air conditioner from mold and mildew. The cost of the part starts from 630 rubles, the set includes instructions with illustrations explaining the installation process.
- Mann-Filtercuk CU1919, which differs from the FP1919 model in the absence of additional filter layers. The manufacturer produces a modification CUK1919, which does not provide protection against mold and mildew. The cost of the parts is 370 rubles. and 620 rub. respectively.
- Denso DCF12-0K with carbon filler, price from 655 rub.
- Filtron K1210A, produced by a Polish manufacturer of automotive components. The edges of the part fit tightly to the walls of the mounting socket, providing improved air filtration. A carbon layer is provided that separates unpleasant odors (for example, from washer fluid in winter). The disadvantage of the part is poor filtration of exhaust gases, the cost is 230 rubles.
- Russian “Nevsky filter” NF6200 and NF6200C (standard and with carbon filler), the price of parts is 120 rubles. and 190 rub. respectively.
Oil filter Toyota Camry
Everyone knows the market leaders: Mann, Knecht. They and the Japanese brands Micro, Nitto, Union should be trusted to filter engine oil.
Original metal screw-on filters are often cheaper than good non-original ones. Therefore, there is no need to look in their direction. The best choice for ACV31 with 2.0i 1AZ-FE engine, ACV30, ACV40, ACV51 with in-line four-cylinder 2.4i 24V (2AZ-FE) ACV40 engine would be the Japanese Micro T1639. The photo shows a good, proven product with no negative reviews.
Smooth, evenly printed inscriptions and an honest message for fans of Japanese Made in Japan parts. The Austrian Knecht OC217 is no worse. The prices are very close.
Both are about half the price of the Japanese 90915-10004. The German Mann W610/9 is much more expensive and is comparable in this regard to the original Toyota 90915-YZZE2 made in Thailand. Manufactured in Europe, Mann and Knecht also have only positive reviews from car owners and auto mechanics.
The V-shaped six-cylinder 3.5i 24V (2GR-FE) does not have a metal screwdriver, but an insert, and the Thai 04152-YZZA1 is cheaper than the Mann HU 7019z, and therefore better. On a three-liter 1MZ-FE engine it costs 90915-20003.
The best analogue is Micro T1637 or the similar T1641. The French Purflux LS359, Mann W 712/83 have a good price.
There is no need to put Chinese consumer goods in a good car.
Perhaps there are not as many complaints and complaints about the products of Goodwill, Lynx, JS Asakashi, Dextrim, Japanparts, Nipparts, Ashika, SCT, Avantech as one would expect from a cheap price segment, but is this risk necessary? We, the buyers, don’t need all this.
Preparation and replacement process
Before starting repairs, you need to prepare your workspace:
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
- Open the front passenger door and place a rubber or fabric mat on the ground.
- Fold the glove box down as far as it will go and then remove items from the container.
The process of replacing an element on a Toyota Camry (V40) consists of the following steps:
- Remove the shock absorber arm that fits onto the plastic pin on the right side of the box. The rod is moved to the side by hand, the halves of the pin are compressed automatically (no tool required).
- Squeeze the side walls of the glove box with your hands and press down at the same time. The glove compartment should come out of the guide grooves, then you need to remove the container from the lower hinges.
- Find a white plastic cover on the back wall of the niche, behind which the filter is located.
- Remove the casing by pressing the latches located on the sides with your fingers. On the outer part of the cover there is an explanatory inscription Up and an arrow indicating the correct position of the part.
- Pull out the old filter cartridge; to speed up the removal procedure, it is recommended to use a hook made of steel wire (for example, from a paper clip).
- Carefully place the contaminated element on the ground.
- Turn on the ignition and then activate the air conditioning fan. The air flow removes remaining debris from the filter cartridge cavity into the vehicle interior.
- Install a new part into the window (taking into account the direction of air flow, indicated by arrows on the end part). During installation, it should be taken into account that the air flow moves from top to bottom.
- Replace the cover and then secure the glove box body into the guide grooves. If the latches on the filter cartridge compartment plug are broken, you will need to order a new part. When operating the ventilation system without a cover, air is not pumped through the radiators of the air conditioning system.
- Place the shock absorber rod onto the pin and check the operation of the ventilation and air conditioning system in the cabin.
If, after installing a new cartridge, an unpleasant odor is felt in the car interior (for example, after turning on the air conditioner), it is recommended to clean the air ducts using special chemicals.
Substances are sprayed into the air ducts or supplied to the air intake duct when the recirculation mode is turned on. The reagents destroy microorganisms and partially remove dirt that flows down with condensation. To remove heavy contaminants, you will need to disassemble the air conditioner and clean the heat exchangers with water and detergents.
Air filter Toyota Camry
By and large, this is a simple product. Therefore, the risk of engine failure due to a low-quality sample is very small if you do not resort to buying spare parts from completely unfamiliar companies. To make a high-quality air filter, you need good paper and a rubber mixture that seals the seat in the suction box. In new types it is not used either.
Today there is more than one Russian manufacturer on the market. TSN Citron, SibTek, Big, Luxe. None of those mentioned are frankly bad.
Anyone who is confused by the products of a domestic manufacturer can check out the Poles and buy Filtron. Or who knows, turning their attention to Goodwill, AMC, Patron, Just Drive, Ashika, Fortech and similar sellers of automotive products from Chinese and Korean factories in boxes of their own design and through their sales network.
For Camry ACV40 ASV50 ACV51 models with 1AZ 2AZ 2AR engines, we recommend SibTek AF 01.1019. Cheap and high quality.
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.
In order for the engine to function properly, the filter element must be checked twice a year.
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.
As a result of inaction, a critical situation arises that requires immediate action.
Replacement procedure
The air filter is located in the engine compartment on the right side. To replace the replacement element, you will need to open the cover of the filter box, for which you need to open special latches.
When removing a used element, you should pay attention to its condition. It is the contamination of the filter, taking into account the actual mileage, that will allow you to coordinate the frequency until the next replacement under equal operating conditions of the machine.
Before installing a new element, thoroughly clean the inside of the box, and only then install a new filter.
When purchasing a filter element, preference should be given to the original product, or a good analogue produced by a well-known company. Unnecessary savings in this case can lead to further ruinous costs associated with engine maintenance.
After the work is completed, be sure to mark the date and mileage of the vehicle at the time the service was performed. This can be done in a separate weekly journal, or by placing the tag in an accessible place directly on the air filter box under the hood.
