I realise Cabin Air Filter is not in the routine service of Toyota Service center. Means less importamt than lets say engine air filter? I basically know how to replace it, should I change it myself? mileage 90k

90k mileage & you still have not replace the cabin air filter? Better do so.. Your car will smell of odour.

surprisingly, no odour. How often you guys change, coz I din see it in the schedule and was never charged for it although I service in Toyota all the while. FOr your cars, same as Toyota as well, not in the schedule??

well i think it is recommended to take out the filter and "blow away" the dust every 10k km and change around 30k/40k km... i do that everytime and people keep saying my car still have new car smell even she almost 3 years old

slightly off topic, my Altis's cabin air filter (the one behind glove box) cover is missing (bought second hand), is there any place that sell the cover?

I'd been searching a few shops and none of them sell just the cover sad.gif
