This video covers the cabin air filter replacement on 2nd generation Toyota Tacoma’s (2005-2015). Some parts of the procedure will vary with newer models, but the basics are the same. Parts of this procedure may also apply to some first generation Tacoma’s as well.
It’s a simple process and doesn’t require a lot of tools. It can also save you a great deal of money replacing this maintenance item yourself. Not to mention it will help keep the air inside your vehicle free from contaminants.
The average replacement interval is every 15K, sometimes as low as 10K based on the air quality where the vehicle is being used.

Shouldn't have to watch adds to get to your content car guy.
Fkn agency wants to charge me $100 to change this. Fkn Dicks. I’m glad I saw this.
Jesus Christ!! That was crazy easy!
Someone at some point decided the damper on my truck wasn't necessary because mine was missing, lol. Oh well, saved me two steps.
Thank you man! Simple and easy while detailed. Great video!
The arrow point up not down
I just watched a 10 minute clip on how to do this. Your 2 minute explanation told me everything I needed to know. Thanks for the brevity!
Of course not all filters indicate the direction of air flow. Some simply indicate which side goes up.
Toyota repair shop was going to charge me $57 for replacing the filter. LOL. thanks very much for the video!
Straight to the point! Thank you sir!

Why in the heck do they charge $60? I hope you know how much I appreciate your video!
Just bought a 07 Taco, did this in 15 min. Thanks.

Excellent , to the point. Perfect!
Eric, can't thank you enough for making a concise video on how to change the cabin air filter. Other DIY guys could learn a lot from you…namely, less is more!
I just got a 2007 Tacoma and the cabin filter was the original factory one. Problem is the truck nearly has 200k miles. 🤢
Thank you. This vid was very helpful ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¼
Took about 2 minutes to install it in my 2015 Taco! Thanks
Thanks easier than easy.
Thank you so much, saved me money on my Tucoma! Mouse had died in it!
Eric thank you. You are the man
Thank you!!! I have to drive a 2007 Toyota Tacoma and previous driver really stunk it up with cigarette smoke. Will changing this help me have cleaner air blowing out of the AC bc the ac air smells like cigarettes?.
I appreciate guys like you who make such helpful DIY videoclips! Keep up the good work!
