The dealership just tried charging me $120… I immediately looked up a “how to video” thanks for the video!

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

You're welcome 🤗

[@cybernicala]

The dealership wanted 75$ to change the air filter and cabin filter lmao. so glad I came to KZbin university instead. I’m saving my money!! 😂

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Awesome! Glad I could help 😃

[@K3iK3iMinaj]

How about $170 I have a link to the service list smh

[@blopak]

I had to take off the large rubber hose attached to the air filter housing as otherwise you could not lift the housing up enough to get the air filter out. This was on a 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE

[@sunnyyish]

$50 for this at my Toyota dealership-goodness gracious, no thanks!! Thank you so much for this video ❤

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad I could help!

I have to tell everyone that it isn't as easy as it seems with these newer model cars. They use to be super easy. What he said is true but to save everyone headaches, here's an easier tip: Those two integrated "holes" in the back of the air box where the cover slides into, they're a pain to get back on once the filter is in place. What I do is align and hold the filter with two hands upwards towards the air box cover, then slide the two notches through the holes. Then the filter will drop into the bottom allowing you to ensure a secure seal once the cover is snapped back on. If you don't do it this way, it's a lot of wiggling and pushing around until the cover is over the filter completely all while securing it into the two back holes of the bottom piece of the air box. Those holes is the main reason why it's a pain to get on. Not necessarily to take off. Taking things apart is easy. It's putting it back together is the challenge Another optional step you can do is take off that wiring harness from the MAF and the air box itself. Those clips are easy use clips where all you do is with your thumb, you press on the release clip, they slide right off. Very easy. This will allow the air box cover to have complete freedom to lift up and away from the bottom half, allowing a much more fuller access to the air filter. The way he's doing it in the video, it's fine too but it's a tight squeeze and uses a lot more strength having to tilt it just to get to the filter. You can see the "scrunch" of the air intake tubing. That's how much force is needed to pull the cover away, just to access the filter. Pretty crappy if you ask me. But it'll work too. Just Hope this helps some of you.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the tip.

[@jfp17]

Thank you!! I followed your advice and it was much easier to replace the filter.

[@Mrraugut]

Same; it took me forever to get it in place the first time. It wasn't budging and had to go back to the parts store for help.

[@marioarita2162]

Great content. Thank you 🙏🏼

You're very welcome 👍

Very nice thanks alot 😁👍

Toyota RAV4 2021 filter is smaller. Thanks for a helpful video.

[@theonegamer9581]

Just changed mine today. Took about 5 minutes. Newer models have a cable that goes over the cover. But the cable can be removed easily. It has 3 clips and after they are removed you can easily access the engine air filter

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Perfect! Thanks for the tip!

[@JuanFigueroa_]

all that information helps me so much, regards from Perú 🇵🇪

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad I could help 😃👍

[@claudiacanales]

I can’t believe I just paid $50 for Toyota to do this for me before watching this video 😤

[@jamesd6717]

Well a decent filter is $20, and it took me 15 minutes and some cursing to install it. So all in all, you maybe payed a bit more to not get angry at your rav4 lol

[@cogs11]

Not worth it asking dealership to do this stuff. I only get the oil changes done by a dealership as its messy

[@aldoraine9949]

Not bad if filter included

[@cogs11]

@@aldoraine9949 air filter is 10$. You just have to open a compartment and put the filter. Its not a 40$ labor job.

[@aldoraine9949]

@@cogs11 filter is 27 at dealer 22 at ebay before taxes. This is for the oem one, so 50 bucks with filter at the dealer not bad, I do install it myself though, but for people who dont like messing around 50 not bad

[@fgrafals21]

I love instructional videos like this one; a definite boost of confidence and a save on money to boot. Our host did not unclip the wire harness on the cover; I found it easier to do that and more the cover out of the way. You still need to hold the cover with one hand and reach for the filter with the other. The filter is not square so make sure to align it properly. If it feels like you are forcing the filter in or closing the cover take a step back and recheck everything.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the extra tips on this topic. All the best.

[@speteydog2260]

I had to undo those clips on the top too and it was really hard to get it out. I’m trying to replace it with a k and n filter. My Camry was a lot easier.

[@junarponce5218]

Does it fit 2022 rav4?

[@user-ws7sz1gs8w]

👍

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@aprillovette249]

For the 2020, you have to undo three attachments to unhook a black hose besides the clamps.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@brucesund1474]

This is the same for my 2020 hybrid rav.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Perfect 👍 Thanks for the tip.

[@djblackruss]

Will that work with a 23

[@myhandlewasstolen2]

What about a 2010 Toyota RAV4?

[@hershilparekh8654]

I can’t get the snaps back what do indo

[@mickensonstima9800]

The interior of my Toyota smell dusty when I drive it I change the cabin air filter I detailed the car I clean the engine the smell never goes away please help me

[@jeffreyburquist5165]

Is this the same for the hybrid?

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

That is a good question. I don't have access to a hybrid to check. If anyone else watching knows, please comment below. THX.

[@telsys]

Yeah, same.

[@aldoraine9949]

Not same

[@janetunknown2126]

Don’t forget about clips one is really expensive

[@elieshupak1478]

Dealers wanted to charge me over 300 dollars for air filter, hybrid battery filter and cabin filter replacement. Don’t think so.

[@SuperSaverPlays]

you do need a screw driver to disconnect the air intake hose

[@jamesd6717]

helpful video. Toyotas are excellent vehicles, but poor engineering w/ such a frequently accessed spot. I had to push, HARD to pry enough space to slide in the filter. thought I was going to rupture a hose or 2. shoved it in like a pro

[@godismerciful6200]

And your 😊

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks 👍

[@dr.fidelius2905]

Not the same one that is on my 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid, which is not square-ish but narrow

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks for the tip!

[@coheed1785]

FYI, that is not the same size filter in the video and links for my RAV4, maybe the hybrid uses a different size

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Yes, This is not a hybrid. Always make sure you are buying for the correct year and model. Thanks for watching 😊

[@Majeskty]

I have a 2017 Rav4 Hybrid and the air filter is different from the gas only models.

[@phillaezza4934]

not the same in a 2021 too many wires to diconect .. they made it difficult

[@gustavoacosta215]

Omg the metal clip just fell into the radiator thing😭😭

[@azalex91]

My rav4 has chords on it

[@geevee9582]

i think the dealer charges me like 140 to change it lol

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Yes, I can be very expensive at the dealership.
