Toyota Owners Manual: "replace vehicle every 500,000 miles".
Haha
you mean 1000000 right?
He he
True These Toyotas can go forever
It's a Toyota, basically it will run forever. Usually Toyota owners by something new after sooooo long just to have something different......usually another Toyota !!!
Yeah my next car tmits a Toyota, I only question its what model
Tacoma!! That's what I have so many more uses than a car:)
Before I knew anything about car maintenance, I use to blow out my engine air filter with pc duster. I didn't have any clue back then what replacement filter to get, I was dead broke too. I must of used the same one for 7 years. I was also able to change the oil only because I had the correct socket wrench, but never changed the oil filter.
I do the same thing but with a vacuum cleaner. Long as you cannot see direct light through the filter, it's still okay.
Agreed
What are you talking about if you cannot see light through it it's okay? If you can't see light through if that means I can't breathe! You might be talking about the dust cover. But any filter needs are to flow through it so I can breathe.
@@jackmartin2256 Some folks say not to blow out air filters with compressed air. I guess thinking it will enlarge particle filtration. Not filtering as well. More than likely talking about paper filters.
Grew up as a farmers kid, that's how we always cleaned all the air filters from tractors,trucks,cars and motorbikes! Every thing ran just fine.
Than we agree
Using an air compressor can cause microscopic small holes in the paper media, allowing dirt passed the filter. The smaller dirt particles actually cause the most damage like cylinder scoring etc. vacuuming every 30k miles won't harm the filter. The more loaded with dirt the better it'll actually filter. The more you change the filter the more damage you'll cause too. As long as you don't get a check engine light for system too rich or a MAF issue you can probably never the replace filter.
Good explanation
Wait til he finds out K&N makes a lifetime washable filter.
They said the same thing about my k&N filter in the shop but it is great filter its lifetime guaranteed. Excellent vid idea by the way.
Thanks for watching
Long ago, I once heard the dirtier the filter gets, the better it cleans. I came to your vid cuz I was skeptical again when I brought my daughter’s car in for a simple fix but then they tell you about these other issues like filters. On the farm, we had outer and inner elements, and other pre-cleaner methods. Without dragging on, I let them change the rubber but not the filters for now. During COVID times they can now send a video of their inspection, but I’d still rather hold up those filters myself into the light. I agree with you, corporate greed needs to be in check (by you).
cleaning the filter as long as no rips develop should be ok. a clogged filter will affect HP more than durability. If car runs well day to day then airflow likely sufficient.
Super . Great info
Me thinking if it’s cheaper to replace filters every 10,000 miles or to buy and air compressor 🤔
True that ..
Not really all you got to do is tap the filter on concrete several times until you get to see light through it.
I manage a fleet of vehicles that operated in a dust pit essentially. If we replaced when they were dirty then that would be everyday at $150 a piece. What we did was ran one 8x longer than normal, then shipped it back to manufacture for testing. Testing showed that it was still filtering as normal, actually better because the pores we're even tighter but that fuel economy suffered.
So Vegas you are correct!!!!!
Good to know
Cars that are driven on the road see little to no dust, I do the same and also drive a Toyota!
Agreed
I replace mine every 30K miles, even though the manual says 10K miles. When I checked it at 10K it still looked new, so I waited. One thing that you DO want to do, however, is CHECK the air filter, even if you don't replace it. A couple of times now I have found mice nesting in there and they chewed up the air filter. This, of course, let more dust into the engine. Luckily, I think I caught it in time.
Hmm, I always blow my filters with compressed air, except the fuel filter, you can use your filters for a lot of years with no problems.
i'm shocked that with all the off road driving you do, that filter is still good.
Haha you are shocked only because we were thought that if we do this we will blow up the cat but in reality if you go to as you said Cuba people will laugh at you if you do change it often
I loved your video. Many Algerians have Toyota Yaris cars. Greetings from Algeria (North Africa).
Awesome car
I never change my air filter either. I just shake the dirt out of it like once a year.
I won’t do it. I did it once and all the dirt was compacted in the filter, the air entered with difficulty and the consumption of gasoline increased significantly. In the end I had to buy a new filter and the change was impressive.
The video was done a long time ago. Still no problem
Same here, they rarely really need replacing. The only time i replace them is when they start to break down and crack at the edges but that takes years if ever. And that scenario was in a humid environment I couldnt see that happening out here in the desert.
Agreed
You are absolutely right. There are so many rip offs like that in the automobile service and maintenance world. Almost everyone in a retail environment has a financial interest in selling you something. They say whatever they need to fit their recommendation that you give them money.
Yeah it happened every time I send my wife to do an oil change on her car
Are you knew you can replace the filter every single day on a vehicle and it would not hurt the vehicle in any manner whatsoever. That's why I don't like Facebook people put in their two cents and they don't even have a penny.
You can easily put a restriction gauge in the housing and tell where it is in its life. This removes the guesswork.
That is a great concept. Need to find one.
Been doing that with a wix filter. Cleaned it with throttle body cleaner and an air compressor. Let it dry and reinstall.
i think you are fine as long as your filter is not contaminated with oil i never clean my filters so at about 30-50k miles my filters are so plugged they start to pull oil from the crankcase ventilation tube and will bet ruined but at $2.75 for a new one i just keep 3 in the truck
An ode to resourceful car upkeep, that says so much, in under 8 minutes. Only Vegas could do this.
Worst corporate gimmick experienced here in Canada is Jiffy Lube technician pulling out cabin air filter that is green when new, and claiming it needs replacement because the green is dust and the infused charcoal particles are dirt.
Haha
been doing this as well for years for stock vehicles, works great for paper filters we do this in the field on combat vehicles as well (which also have paper filters) My M88-A2 was powered by a 12 cylinder air cooled 1500 HP turbo diesel kept clean with gigantic paper filters, serviced with compressed air!!!(per their factory recommendations lol) ....on this subject i will agree the factory be damned ...but your still crazy to run oil till it turns black!!!! lol
Haha I'm not racist I like black too.. Haha #metoo
I like your accent. I usually use pressurised air to clean vehicle airfilters too that prolongs their use between replacing them . Preventative maintenance of that is less costly than replacing or rebuilding a carbonator! (I have an older 89 Toyota with only 225 k)
Yeah maintennace goes a long way
I had a Chevy Silverado half ton truck. I put 230k miles on it. I used the original filter the entire time. I did exactly what your doing Vegas. I would blow compressed air thru it. I only got rid of the truck because it was a single cab and I had a kid so I needed a crew cab so I could put a car seat in it. That truck fired up every time without hesitation. No problems with power. Fuel economy sucked but it always sucked. So I totally agree with you that it’s a corporate selling gimmick. I think that filter will last until u sell the car
Great info..
This is so wrong. Filter is cheap, engine is expensive. Why pay for insurance: in case accidents happen AND for a piece of mind. Rip Offs aren’t $20 every 6 months, it’s the dealer fees, taxes, repair costs (which 40% goes to dealership vs the mechanic)
My dad does the same guy he puts the filter in simple green or soapy water every oil change and let’s it soak than he sprays it off with air and let’s it dry
Even better
Just make sure you change the cabin filter
I ain't got one.. Haha
Very clever man. Beat the system. Just don’t be lazy and clean filter yourself. otherwise spend money and clean every 5 years lol. I lease cars for 3 years at a time and mechanics never told me filter needs a change or went bad
My Yaris manual says to change filters every 50,000 kms or 30,000 miles. Sometimes airfilters can tear up or can develop a patch of dirt that u cant clean. Anyways I have done the same as u even though i live in the most polluted city of the world
I have 160k on this original filter haha I guess the manual it's wrong
@@vegasromaniac the single strip of adhesive is gone most likely when air blowing. A cotton air fiter like yours definitely gets clogged more often than the paper one that came with mine. Put 5000 miles more since this comment still going. My father has done the same with all of his cars. Only change the oil filter thats an obvious thing to do
The air filter in my country costs like 2 US dollars. I don't know if it has been replaced before this but I think the filter should be white, now it looks like deep grey. I change it just to be safe.
Bro where do you live??? 1-2 dollars?? WOW! my BASIC filter is $18.00 ….man fk BIDEN!
Please don't ruin your wonderful channel by even mentioning that quick oil change rip off place.
Jiffy lube?
@@vegasromaniac Yes! But they're mostly all the same
I have a 2011 GMC 2500 pickup with 317,000 miles and I have only used 2 air filters. I probably could have still been on the same one but I wanted to install a K&N filter.
That is awesome to know...
I wanted you tell tell me what can mechanically happen to a car if the air filter isn’t changed, not if you blow out the filter. Lotta rambling and I’ll never get those 7 mins and 26 seconds back.
You also wasted another 30 seconds writing this message
Romaniac I have to clean my Chevy airfilters housing cause it's on so tightly I need a chisel to get it off! If you are near wildfires and are getting ash raining down it might be good to have extra replacement filters just in case.
Totally
Air blows the dirt in, so why can’t air blow dirt out? Makes sense to me. I blow mine out every oil change and replace with new filter every 3-4 years.
Keep up the awesome vids Vegas
That's true..
i have a k&n cold air intake on my truck and yes i just clean the air filter. before on all my other trucks i just cleaned the filter and put it back in. replacing the filter every couple thousand miles is a waste of money.
Or also called great corporate profits
exactly. the only thing you need to change regularly is your oil every 5,000 miles. and then spark plugs every 100,000 miles.
I've been doing that for years. But I'm so lazy I just tap it on the ground to clean it.
Haha, even better make sure it doesn't break,
Sometimes you do need an air filter,
My dads Honda air filter got oil in it and was clogged with dust and couldn’t clean it
Yikes oil form where?
on an economy car, i'd just do it like you do here. on a more performance oriented vehicle, like the toyota 86 behind you, or my porsche boxster, i'd just go with the manufacturer recommendation.
Hmm... Yeah. I treat both my cars the same.. Haha
Awesome vid bro
I think these filters nowadays are formed that they are not reusable because if you blow them with air you clean part of the filter but not all so they need to be replaced at point in time and the second thing are they working same as when they are new sure not
Another question to you how about oil changes what interval you do them ? You change the oil filter as well or not
I feel that clean filter is better it is not worth it change if so dirty may be every 10000 miles or every 50000 miles it depends on your driving condition as well as if you want to keep the car long time
I have this car for 15 years now, I'm. Getting tired of it, still works fine on the originalnair filter, and I do conventional oil with a oil filter change every other oil change because ethey are 4 bucks and that's expensive.. Haha
@@vegasromaniac If it works for you fine 🙂
@@vegasromaniac As long as you are cleaning the filter no symptoms it is fine and I think this proved that these filters are serviceable at the end unless you find it deteriorating cracking but for most people I would say if it is so dirty change it nowadays filters are cheep I would say not to follow manufacturers follow your visual assessment if it is dirty change it if not why you change it
But for oil filter I recommend to change it every 6000 to 10000 miles or yearly better for your engine
AC filter is the same
Found rodent damage at paper air filter. Glued back together and would never notice a difference.
Haha one way to do it
i dont change air filter to :) Just inspect time to time . But ye like dirt bike just wash filter and oil :)
Yep...
My car is 20 years old, has 336k miles and I change it *maybe* once a year.
If it works for you, that's all it matters.
Sir, your Yaris is your Millennium Falcon, so I salute you Capt. Solo 👍 - “corporate propaganda” lol best new term I will add to my vocabulary, btw can you make a vid about your car’s cabin filter?
I wonder if it has one.. Haha
Basicly you service a new car because of warranty claims. Old cars, not so much. I mean who changes brakefluid from time to time? Same thing with coolant. Unless you have a race car, no need for race specs in the service manual.
One way of looking at it
@Patrick Darling Never had brake fluid boiling or fading brakes (the possible effect of water in brake fluid). Regarding the coolant the important thing is that you have it not how old it is. I know the reasons i just dont belive it. Much like the airfilter-video above.
@Patrick Darling So its more a question of low cost than if it actually works? Sort of like chineese medicine? Drink som beaver urine and the bad will go away, only 30$!!!
@Patrick Darling will look it up next time i plan on keeping a vehicle for a million miles...
Corporate line:
Manual suggest an air filter replacement every year, and not following recommendation will void your warranty.
Me: show me the proof?!?!?!
Yeah, well the Manila was written by the people that wanna sell you a filter..
You should be on top gear show you be good on there
Mine had the same air filter for 300k!! Trail driving and all. Sooooooo dirty I just went and bought a new one
Yeah.. I'm sure would have lasted another 200k
My question is my Infiniti has two engine air filters. I'm missing one because one got damaged and I placed an order on Amazon for the next day. Is it OK to drive? Just maybe 5 miles without a missing air filter in the city, there's not that much dust or debris just typical Chicago city air in the fall. I know it's not good, but I don't have a choice until tomorrow, so I will try to drive for less than 10 minutes. Do you think that's OK and won't do much damage
Yes you can ,
Cars dont really go through severe conditions like motorcycles and quads do, it will last a very long time.
Agreed
My Honda recon atv has been through hell and back and ran hard it’s whole life it’s pulled hundreds of pounds of rocks at a time going at slow speed up steep hills sometimes in temps 90+ it’s air cooled its used valvoline 10w30 car oil most of its life.
@@keaganhunter1644 yea my buddys 250ex which is the same as the 250 recon is a tough little bike. My honda fourtrax gets the snot ran out of it and it runs like new.
I wish I could get that much use out of a cheap air filter. I live in a wet climate air filters just clog up with black mold and dirt.
I can see that happen
This is probably the reason it's recommended in the manual to replace it so often, so it won't have a problem in the worst conditions and so if there is a problem the manufacturer isn't to blame. In good condition like in Vegas it shouldn't be that often. You should always use your brain, not simply apply what is said for a general case
I replace mine every 30k km. and in Toyota ask for replcement every time i change engine oil (15k km)
I still run on the original.. Haha
@@vegasromaniac ;) on the time of selling my cars the buyers always aks for the maintance history and it the value of the car is higher when all regulary changed( as per my experience with my prev cars) Greeting from east eu
There are tons of myth surrounding air filters, probably more than any other subject (don't get me started on aftermarket cold air systems...right up there with throttle body spacers for MPFI engines lol)...NO AIR FILTER CATCHES EVERYTHING if it did your engine would be starved of air in a month if you live in the desert. Don't let people give you grief on this if they want to waste their money then let em, but it is important to point out that not all filters can be blown out as effectively as your Toyota (or my Kia) so people should exercise some common sense to their own applications.
Great point
I change mine once a year pretty much every 70,000 miles
Wow you drive a lot
I don't see anything wrong with that maniac where it is going to hurt you is in fuel economy so I have a recommendation for a future video next time you go out to your favorite riding spot tracker fuel MPG then the next time you are getting ready to go to that spot put in a brand new air filter and attract your fuel mileage and see which air filter you get better fuel mileage with. 👍🎥
I doesn't this car has same mpg since I bought it 40 to 42 when empty.
@@vegasromaniac interesting.
Truth.
Awesome
I've nothing against what you're doing. Who doesn't want to save a few quid. But I don't believe that blowing the filter out like that is making it as good as a new one, therefore limiting air flow, but if that doesn't matter (like it doesn't seem to) who cares. $500 is a lot of fuel 👍
Agreed.. 500 bucks it's like 300quid before brexit and 1000 quid after.. Haha
😂
will using a vacuum cleaner work? I have no access to a compressed air hose.
It will
I'm glad I didn't waste my money on a K&N filter.
Legendary Toyota Yaris (i miss mine). Japeness product strategy is (was) different from occidental one, that's a fact. but you can't afford all the abuse of your 12y with an european car that's for sure ..
Toyota it's king man
Haha your right just keep blowing it out and putting fuel and oil in it your car will run forever
I'm gonna die and have to put it In My will
Cheapskate lmaoooo
If you do not replace your air fitler your engine will blow up........
Got'em click bait!!!
toyota yaris its unbitable !!!! jajaaj undestructible. toyots for mi are the best last for ever!!!
One place that cheaper it's better
1000000 km on the engine
Haha I'll be long dead before that
@@vegasromaniac why did you leave the fertile european mountains?
I'm here for the comment section, guess I'm too early.
Haha come back later.. Let's wait for the fight
no way 1st
Way 2nd
Closing in:)
You're a champ
Love your channel
@@doubledown9333LOL let the game begin, take note im only doing this for a free Vegas Romaniac shirt I have stated this from the very beginning.
I need to start sending stickers.. I haven't got mine year but as soon as I get them I will
stahp it! why do you hate your car so much?
Please instruct how to build the bike carrier
I need one myself
I have a video on my channel how it was built.. Just scroll it's one of the videos posted about 3 months ago
I'm 3 years late, but I drive a 2013 lexus gs350 with over 260k miles and I've never changed or even cleaned my filter like you and my car still runs just like the day I bought it
Amazing
