2024 Toyota Highlander Air Filter in Auburn, MA

The engine air filter sits in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, upstream of the 2.4L inline-4 intake on the 2024 Toyota Highlander.

This airbox is typically mounted near the front corner of the bay, secured with clips or screws for quick access. The cabin air filter, by contrast, is typically positioned behind the glove box, filtering air for the HVAC system. If you prefer professional service in Auburn, MA, our Toyota-trained team can inspect and replace both during one visit.
