Replacing the cabin filter Prado 120

How often should you change the cabin filter?

Here, the automaker advises focusing on the scheduled maintenance periods: according to the user manual, the filter should be cleaned every 10 thousand kilometers, replaced after 30 thousand. Of course, today the term “cleaning” is hardly applicable, especially to carbon varieties of SF - cleaning the layer with activated carbon will not do anything, since it is an absorbent type of adsorbent that binds harmful substances at the molecular level.

As for the restoration of conventional dust filters, today it is known for certain that such an event is ineffective, since the filter element becomes clogged almost immediately after installation.

But even taking this into account, it is not worth focusing on the regulatory deadlines, since they are calculated based on road conditions characteristic of Western countries with their almost ideal road conditions. In Russia, it is the road factor that has a decisive influence on the total resource of the cabin filter. For normal operating conditions, it should be halved, and if the SUV is used intensively, with frequent off-road trips, then even more.

Experienced drivers rarely look at mileage, because they also need to remember it. The fact that the time has come to change this car accessory will be indicated by very specific signs:

the appearance of dust in the cabin, clearly visible on the plastic parts of the interior;
frequent fogging of windows, directly related to a critical deterioration in the capacity of the solar filter;
penetration of foreign odors into the cabin as a result of the accumulation of organic debris on the filter and its rotting.

And, of course, the main symptom of a clogged cabin filter should be considered a significant deterioration in the power of the air flow blowing from the deflectors, up to its almost complete absence. In this case, we are not talking about any warmth in the cabin in winter and saving coolness in summer. The Prado 120/150 cabin filter should be replaced without waiting for its throughput to drop to zero - as soon as the microclimate in the cabin no longer meets the standard parameters, you should think about purchasing a new filter element.

Removing a dirty cabin filter

Replacing the cabin filter of Toyota Prado

For a long time, environmental problems were out of public view. The situation began to change after the advent of the era of plastic and herbicides, and today only the lazy would not criticize the state of the natural environment. All the more surprising is the fact that caring for the health of drivers and passengers of passenger cars began relatively recently, some 20 years ago. Today, cabin filters, which provide comprehensive protection for people inside the vehicle from pollutants present in the outside air, are becoming a generally accepted standard even for budget cars. And even if the car’s equipment does not provide for the installation of a SF, the designers must provide a place for its installation, and this can be done independently at any convenient time.

New carbon filter element

How to replace the cabin filter on TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO 3 (J120) [AUTODOC VIDEO TUTORIAL]

Where is the Toyota Prado cabin filter located?

All of the above fully applies to the Japanese SUV. First generation models (70/90), produced before 2000, were not equipped with SF. Later modifications, as well as all second-generation models, already had a full-fledged factory cabin filter. Regardless of the presence or absence of air conditioning, this car accessory regularly performs the function of cleaning the air supplied to the cabin from most types of particles of mineral and organic origin. The only drawback of the cabin filter is that, like other types of filter elements, it tends to become clogged and become unusable. Strictly speaking, it belongs to consumables, and, if we talk about a car, then to the most in demand - no other consumable changes so often.

The replacement process itself will differ depending on the model and year of manufacture of the SUV.

The fact is that the Prado 70/90 has a cabin filter located in the engine compartment, and replacing it is associated with certain inconveniences. By the way, when asked where the Prado 95 cabin filter is located, you will receive a negative answer - this model, intermediate between the first and second generations, was not equipped with a cabin filter, although there is also a place for its installation here. For the Prado 120, produced since 2002, as well as the Prado 150, the production of which started in 2009, the designers have already provided for the installation of a filter element behind the glove box, which is the de facto standard for most modern cars.

How to choose a cabin filter for Toyota Prado

Original Toyota filters are not cheap, but many car owners try to purchase only original consumables. Considering that there are currently a huge number of models on the market that are fully or partially compatible in size with factory products, the selection of SF often turns into real torture.

Well, the most reliable strategy is to buy consumables from official dealers - here you have a guarantee that you will not be offered a filter of dubious quality and origin.

For Prado 120, refer to the following catalog numbers:

08888020090 (simple SF, );
0871394701083 (downtime, 800 rubles);

How often should I replace?

The manufacturer in the vehicle operating instructions indicates a replacement interval of 30,000 km. In this case, the element must be cleaned every 10,000 km. Preventive actions mean blowing compressed air onto the hygroscopic filler. If the car is used in conditions of increased dustiness, pollution, and gas pollution, then reduce the service life of the cleaner by a third.

The cabin filter must be replaced immediately if water, antifreeze, or other petroleum products get on the paper. Even after drying, toxic fumes remain and are inhaled by the driver along with oxygen. Which is undesirable, as it causes a number of allergic reactions and diseases.

Signs of clogged paper filler:

There is weak airflow from the deflectors / no airflow at all;
There is a smell of rot and decay in the cabin;
Particles of debris, leaves, and dust fly out of the deflectors, which should be retained by the filter.

When is it necessary to replace the filter in a Toyota Prado?

A specialized Land Cruiser center recommends replacement at around 10-12 months of active driving. However, in most cases this period is insufficient for the following number of reasons:

a car in our latitudes is operated in a more aggressive environment - dust and exhaust gases;
in winter, a car with sand pours tens of tons of sand mixture onto the road, it is this dust that gets into the air, and drivers breathe this air;
An urban environment requires more frequent replacement of the cabin filter element, since in an urban environment it wears out the most.

Summarizing the above reasons, the best time to replace the filter in a Land Cruiser is 6-8 months; if you use the car mainly for country trips, the preferred replacement of the cabin filter in a car will be about 120 Prado - up to 1 year.

Differences in types of cabin filters

We come to the most important question, which filter in a car - carbon, synthetic or some other? Let's divide all cabin filter elements produced for the Land Cruiser into two categories:

made on the basis of paper or cardboard (the cheapest option);
made of non-woven materials (synthetics) impregnated with chlorine or coal solution (you cannot say that it is coal).

Let’s note right away the first method and option for installing the device in a car – the cheapest. In addition, paper (cardboard) is not durable; such a filter on a Land Cruiser will last for a maximum of 2 months (or until the first rains) - after that its effect will be practically useless (the same effect as installing a simple paper towel). Moreover, it will even be harmful - since the humid environment in the filter membranes is an ideal environment for the spread of pathogenic bacteria.

According to the second method, replacing the cabin filter of the Land Cruiser 150 Prado is more preferable, but is not the best option for the car.

A synthetic filter has the following advantages for the machine:

thanks to the electrostatics of the surface, it can better trap the smallest particles of dust or pollen into the interior of the Land Cruiser;
as a rule, the cabin air filter is absorbed with chlorine - it helps to trap some pathogenic bacteria (service life - no more than 3-4 months, carbon - 3 times longer);
Carbon impregnation does not mean that this filter is carbon. The membranes retain some bacteria, but do not provide the maximum effect for the interior of your Land Cruiser.

Finally, let's move on to the best air purification device - carbon (the best solution for Land Cruiser). Such air devices are not impregnated with coal; the coal in them is compressed (laid in membranes over the entire surface). It is also called carbon, molded.

Benefits for Land Cruiser:

catches the smallest particles entering the car interior (up to 1 micron);
traps most bacteria (including carcinogenic ones - particles of car tires of another car, asphalt, tar, etc.).

The best way to determine the authenticity of a given filter is: its price (more expensive than regular ones) and weight (a regular one weighs about 200-300 grams, a carbon one weighs more than 600-700 grams).

Another important difference is that the charcoal filter uses coconut charcoal as a filling (not to be confused with birch or charcoal). This is the best absorbent known to manufacturers.

Replacing the cabin filter Toyota Prado -

The cabin filter on Toyota Prado performs the function of cleaning the air inside the car for the air conditioning system. The quality of airflow and the health of the driver and passengers depend on the timely maintenance of the cleaning element. Harmful substances settling at the bottom of the paper filter contribute to the occurrence and development of diseases and allergies. Cough and fever are the first signs of the disease.

Given the simplicity of the design, you can change the cabin filter on a Toyota Prado yourself. Service centers are contacted in extreme cases, when the installation technology is broken and there is no time to carry out preventive maintenance.

Where is the cabin filter located: the purifier is mounted differently in different models. Since the presentation (debut) of the first generation to the present, four generations of Toyota Prado have been released:

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 70 – 1984;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90 - 1996;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 - 2002;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 - 2009.

In the first two series of cars, the standard filter is located in the engine compartment, in the upper right part, closer to the main brake cylinder. In the third and fourth generations, the wiper is installed behind the glove box in the dashboard.

Choosing a cabin filter for Toyota Prado

When purchasing consumables yourself, pay special attention to the catalog indexes; the data must match the actual parts on your car. To ensure reliable information, use the VIN code - this is the individual number of each technical device. It is assigned to the car after it leaves the assembly line. By providing the code, the seller is guaranteed to provide the required item.

Make it a rule to purchase components from official dealers and specialized stores. Use the services of intermediaries to a lesser extent, do not buy parts of dubious origin at an incredibly low price.

Replacing the cabin filter of Toyota Prado -

Where is the cabin filter : the purifier is mounted differently in different models. Since the presentation (debut) of the first generation to the present, four generations of Toyota Prado have been released:

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 70 – 1984;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90 - 1996;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 - 2002;
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 - 2009.

Replacing the cabin filter on a Toyota Prado

If there are foreign odors inside your Land Cruiser while driving - exhaust gases, rubber and dust, with a 100% probability you have not installed a carbon filter, but a cheap one, or its expiration date has long expired. If there are no foreign odors in the car, the Land Cruiser is equipped with a high-quality carbon filter.

The road and the car are a source of concentration of carcinogenic substances, and this all directly affects the health of drivers and passengers directly. For example, microparticles of rubber residue from car tires are removed from the lungs for many years. Below we describe in detail which filter is recommended to choose for your car and how to replace it in a Land Cruiser.

When is it necessary to replace the filter in a Toyota Prado?

A specialized Land Cruiser center recommends replacement at around 10-12 months of active driving. However, in most cases this period is insufficient for the following number of reasons:

a car in our latitudes is operated in a more aggressive environment - dust and exhaust gases;
in winter, a car with sand pours tens of tons of sand mixture onto the road, it is this dust that gets into the air, and drivers breathe this air;
An urban environment requires more frequent replacement of the cabin filter element, since in an urban environment it wears out the most.

Selecting a filter element

There are two types of Prado 120 cabin filter - regular dust and carbon. The first one is cheaper. It is made of a square or rectangular frame and a canvas located in it. To increase the surface area, the material is folded according to the principle of accordion bellows. The filter fiber is based on cellulose or synthetics.

The fiber density of the cabin filter is less than that of a similar motor filter. This is done because the air flows in the ventilation line have less vacuum than in the intake manifold. Some manufacturers impregnate the surface of the filter element with chlorine, this provides good antibacterial action.

Replacement

The process of changing the interior of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with your own hands is not difficult. To do this, you don’t have to go to a car service center, wait your turn there and pay money. The driver can handle the procedure independently. You don't need any tools, just a few clean rags and five minutes of free time.

Let's remove the glove compartment. Having opened the drawer, we find and unfasten the limiter on the left. There are stop-eyes on both the right and left sides; they should also be unfastened. After this, we lower the structure down.

The Prado 120 cabin filter is located in the dashboard housing behind the glove box compartment. Under the removed glove box we find the part we need. Take it out by simply pulling the plastic cover towards you. In front of you is an old filter, clogged with dust, lint and dirt.

We take out the old filter and install the new filter element in place, taking into account the direction of the indicators on its body (arrows pointing up). Before doing this, do not forget to wipe the seat with a clean rag to remove any dust that has accumulated there.

We install the new filter element in place. We assemble the structure in the reverse order.

We assemble the structure in reverse order.

As you can see, nothing complicated. And the money saved, intended for a trip to the service, can be spent on something more pleasant.

Cabin filter location

Novice drivers most often do not even know where the interior cleaner is located, so they cannot replace it on their own. In previous Prado series it was located in the engine compartment. The TLC 120 2002 and 150 2009 editions have it inside the cabin, which makes replacing the mechanism easier. The filter is hidden in the car body behind the front passenger's glove compartment. To directly get to it, you need to remove the entire contents of the box - then nothing will restrict free access to this part of the Prado.

After this you need to remove the glove compartment. The following method will do:

Attach the shock absorber to the left side of the drawer.
Tighten the fastener by pulling towards you.
Remove the container.
Unfasten the glove compartment limiter, which is located on the left.
Remove the stops on both sides.
Pull the drawer down.

Access to the Prado Land Cruiser 120 cabin filter is open. Now you can replace it.

Not all drivers are well versed in the mechanics of a car. This also applies to the air purifying element inside the SUV. Every car owner should know where it is and how to change the cabin filter on a Prado 150 or 120.

Purpose of the device

The cabin filter performs an important function. It is installed to protect the health of the driver and passengers. The mechanism cleans the air entering the car from exhaust gases, dust, and bacteria harmful to the body. Removes all extraneous unpleasant odors.

Without an air purifier in the cabin, a person may develop or worsen allergies and develop lung problems. It is necessary for people with weak immunity, allergic reactions, young children and the elderly.

The filter in the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 traps all particles, preventing them from entering the car. They get stuck in this mechanism, creating a favorable environment for the development of bacteria, negatively affecting the well-being of passengers. In this case, the cleaner must be replaced with a new one.

You can understand that it is time to remove the device by the following signs:

the windows fog up from inside the car;
unpleasant odors appear;
the air conditioner operates at lower power;
During ventilation, dust appears in the body.

In the Prado 120, the cleaning mechanism clogs faster in urban environments than outside of big cities. Contamination also appears if you often drive on dirt or roads with a sandy embankment.

Replacing the cabin filter of the Prado 120 series should occur every 10–15 thousand km traveled, but the operating conditions of the SUV are important.

Cabin filter Prado 120

Although you are the owner of an expensive Land Cruiser Prado and you hardly need to do maintenance yourself, you can replace the cabin filter of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with your own hands, especially since it is not difficult. And to avoid any questions, a visual video instruction will be very helpful.

And so, replacing the Prado 120 cabin filter begins with opening the glove compartment (glove compartment) and dismantling it. And then everything is easy and simple... We see a little white cover, behind which there is a cabin filter. We remove it, take out the filter element and replace it with a new one purchased in advance.

Differences in types of cabin filters

We come to the most important question, which filter to install in a car - carbon, synthetic or some other? Let's divide all cabin filter elements produced for the Land Cruiser into two categories:

against dust;
carbonic.

Anti-dust:

made on the basis of paper or cardboard (the cheapest option);
made of non-woven materials (synthetics) impregnated with chlorine or coal solution (you cannot say that it is coal).

According to the second method, replacing the cabin filter of the Land Cruiser 150 Prado is more preferable, but is not the best option for the car.

A synthetic filter has the following advantages for the machine:

thanks to the electrostatics of the surface, it can better trap the smallest particles of dust or pollen into the interior of the Land Cruiser;
as a rule, the cabin air filter is absorbed with chlorine - it helps to trap some pathogenic bacteria (service life - no more than 3-4 months, carbon - 3 times longer);
Carbon impregnation does not mean that this filter is carbon. The membranes retain some bacteria, but do not provide the maximum effect for the interior of your Land Cruiser.

Benefits for Land Cruiser:

catches the smallest particles entering the car interior (up to 1 micron);
traps most bacteria (including carcinogenic ones - particles of car tires of another car, asphalt, tar, etc.).

Another important difference is that the charcoal filter uses coconut charcoal as a filling (not to be confused with birch or charcoal). This is the best absorbent known to manufacturers.

Purpose of the device

You can understand that it is time to remove the device by the following signs:
