2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Air Filter in Auburn, MA

The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove box.

The cabin microfilter mounts behind the glove box to clean HVAC airflow for passengers. If you prefer professional service, our Toyota-trained team in Auburn can inspect and replace both filters using OEM parts.
