Cleaning and re-oiling could not be simpler, just about idiot proof but, evidently some do manage to screw it up.



Well, actually, Toyota does sell and install a "K&N type filter. Toyota calls it a "high performance" TRD filter and it is made exactly like a K&N for a ridiculous price.

And if you read the fine print, and didn't let an authorized Toyota/Scion dealer do the install of their TRD HP part [don't know their view on K&N]...any problems that might occur can void warranty on part and possibly vehicle warranty.
