The Toyota Genuine Air Filter difference

The quality of an air filter can be best measured by its ability to trap even the tiniest impurities.

Lesser quality air filters often use poorly constructed seals and filter elements which allow dust and impurities into the engine, causing problems such as poor engine idle, extra fuel consumption and unnecessary engine wear.
