Can toyota OEM filters be cleaned with compressed air or does this ruin them?

After cutting open the air box, my filter looks buggered after only 15000km.

You could Anish, but we're not dealing with a crappy Holden dung-box here.

MY recommendation would be to purchase a GENUINE new Toyota one, as it's been proven by Peter Scott that they have superior flow qualities to even "Name Brand" after market filters

Toyota part number is: 17801-46060



ps: 15000 kms ain't to bad a run for an air filter

Especially after doing an airbox mod, mine is filthy / covered in leaves after about 7000k's of BFI. :-(

Thanks for the part number Don.

Thanks guys. The filter in the car at the moment is a genuine part. Should have said toyota genuine rather than OEM.

Will pick up another one when the dealerships open back up.

I checked it a few weeks ago before we started to get a lot of rain here. Was a lot cleaner than it is now. The moisture in the air must have turned the dust on the filter to mud.

Looks like I'll be getting a new filter every 6 months.

A new filter every 6 months isn't too bad though :-)

Actually, probably a little expensive for what they are, but in terms of the difference the new ones make...

Just checked my air filter today - it's really dirty & needs replacing. How much from toyota & do they carry them in stock.

I'm going to make BFI #1 on my Soarer soon with the help from some mates.
It's a UZZ31 - what's meant by the second and third chambers to get more air into the air box?
I assume I just remove the headlight & remove the restrictive air duct?

Anything else I should know?

Last known price is as above, around $99 a pair.

The main thing you should know is that you could try BFI #3 instead.
