Good job. As a side note many if not most aftermarket filters do not say "UP" on them but they say "airflow" instead. The airflow is downward so the arrow on those filters should point down instead.
Yeah, I didn't realize that at first, and installed the filter upside down. Luckily, I figured it out when I went to toss the old filter, and reinstalled the new one correctly.
2021 RAV Hybrid XLE Premium. Same as others said. Dealership wanted $45. I bought Microgard 4113 filter for $21 at O'reilly's and did it myself. One difference: the support bar clip on mine is hard plastic, so I had to use pliers to gently pinch the center of the clip together.
Exactly! I just went to the same store and found this video to do it myself! I refused to pay Pep Boys $42 for the filter and the labor! Let alone pay Toyota $80 for the same thing!
Thankyou I just came from the dealership they were doing my free Toyota service.When I got home I checked for my registration which is usually in my glove box I couldn’t find it,I called them they said they put everything back.I was frustrated I looked everywhere. I decided to check on youtube if I can open the glove box and your video popped up.Guess what they had locked it inside 😤.Thank you so much I can rest easy now.
Thank you!! Didnt realize it was so easy. I brought my Rav 4 to the dealership and I decided to decline this service because in my previous vehicle, I knew it was fairly easy to change
Great video! The filter installed super easy with one exception....I purchased a STP brand CAF1816P filter at AutoZone and although the dimensions were the same the orientation of the pleats in the filter were off by 90 degrees. The bracket that the filter fits down into has a flange that fits in between the pleats so that filter wouldn't fit. According to the filter book that was one of the filters that should fit in all RAV4s 2019-2020. I had to go back and return it and swap it for a K&N VF2054 which is about $20 more but is washable and reusable and carries a 10year warranty. It will undoubtedly save me money in the long run. The book also listed the K&N VF2000 as working for this vehicle but it's pleats were also running the wrong direction. AutoZone was very nice about the mix-up and even gave me 10% off on the right filter. Kuddos to them but be forewarned. We have a Toyota RAV4 XSE AWD hybrid. Loved the video keep up the great work!
Thank you for showing this. I changed my cabin filter with no problem. I, unfortunately, paid $35 for my cabin filter. I wish that I would have seen your link first. Now I know for next time.
Awesome! Looks super easy! I’m replacing mine with a K&N air filter that can be cleaned and reused over and over again. Saves a lot of money! Thanks for the video!
Great video. My 2021 RAV 4 glove box jammed open. I followed your instructions and found the culprit in a couple of minutes, literally. The cabin air filter cap fell off and was jamming the compartment. I think it was probably loose originally. I put it back on as you instructed. Seems to fit tight. Put the glove box cover back. Voila! Works like new. Thanks. I subscribed.
Thank you! Way easier than I thought when the dealership told me what they wanted to change it $$$. I have a 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid, same set up. Side note: When I put it back together the glove compartment wouldn’t shut on the right side. I had to undo the three previous steps and click the very bottom back into place. All together still only took three minutes. Great video!
Thank you for DIY video. It was so easy to change and saved me a lot from the dealership. I appreciate you putting the link in for the exact filter needed. Subscribed
This video helped me a tons. I thought I was going to have to use tools to get to the filter like on other cars, I made it about half way in the video before I attempted and replaced my filter. Toyota wanted to charge me almost $100 to replace the filter. $40 and a youtube video later, I saved $60 on my 2020 RAV4 Limited Hybrid.
Super easy to follow! If I can do it, anyone can do it! I did need a flashlight (gloomy cloudy day) and a pair of pliers to pinch the bracket on the side (also a really cold day) but it saved me over $40 by doing it myself!
Thank you! 2021 RAV4 and saved me $50!!! The only change was the filter I got had the airflow arrow which apparently means it's the opposite and should point down.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday I I just did the change out after 34000 KMS. Uh - super dirty and did quality for the description "restricted" by the service techs at Toyota. Your milage may vary!
Wow - this looks exactly like my current Forester filter replacement, except that the “housing” gets replaced, too. It will make an easy transition to my new Prime that was supposed to start on it’s way to the US today!
I love Toyota but my local dealership just serviced my RAv4 and charge $66.99 to do this, $30 being labor charge. I think going forward this may be a better alternative and I'll be checking on one of the K&N reusable filters as well. Thanks for the info.
Thanks a lot for the videos. I watched this one and the air filter under the engine replacement. Good information. Helps a lot. Love my 2019 LE FWD. best car ever!
Thanks for your video it was very precise and explained perfectly. I am looking forward to saving money on future cabin filter replacements. You deserve at least 100K subs.
At service right now and they just charged a guy 30 dollars to replace his cabin air filter. Now I can do it myself with all the wild fires smoking up the air here in Wa state.
2021 RAV4 Hybrid owner here. The local dealership wanted $100 to change the engine and cabin air filters. I did myself for less than $40 using FRAM filters. 🤣🤣🤣
I have to push with a HUGE amount of force on the two upper clips to make the glove box lower down...what's up with that? And I'm not a weakling by any stretch
Bobby Woods it’s not as common as you think. And some of the “issues” are just the nature of 8 speeds, especially Toyota’s / Aisin transmissions.

It’s like when it was starting to become in that car started having 6 speeds, I remember EVERYONE freaked out about how they acted. Cars jolt sometimes especially since everything has a sensitive throttle. My 2019 RAV4 LE FWD has nearly 4,000 miles on it and zero issues *knock on wood*. Great cars, great deals, spoiled with features even for the bare ass one I have now. Do NOT pass up a new RAV4. Best car I’ve ever owned out of 6 cars.
@@mike_wellington_ I've had a 19 RAV since March. That coast and lurch was severe. The update seems to have worked and made it a little more smooth overall as well. If your RAV doesn't do it, I am happy for you.
Great video! The FRAM CF12157 did not appear to work in the 2021 RAV4 XLE. The sides of the filter catch on the edges of the brackets interior divider causing it to not sit flush. The FRAM is different than others bc it has foam strips on the sides that make the interior dimension smaller. Didn’t matter on installing it with airflow up or down.
Now that is strange since I just changed mine today, and this is the exact one that I put into my 2021 Rav4 LE AWD. I didnt really have any issues either, other than I was unsure which way was meant to face up. Maybe its the model of Rav4 you have??? 🤷♀️

Australia MAY 2023 Right hand drive, 2020 Rav4 hybrid , YES identical process however the filter clicks in reverse (teeth on right saves you a few minutes trial and error). Part was Ryco RCA333M($84 @ supercheap) Ouch imagine what Toyota charge. I know nothing about cars, so anyone can do this. Extra - Before replacing filter I also used CRC Auto Pro Cleaner ($29 spray can with 30cm tube) to clean out vents from inside. With Engine off, Air con off - spray in every air 'plenum' ie air intake near front windscreen (starting 30 cm deep and slowly drawing tube towards yourself until foam comes out) and each air con exit. Wait 30 mins after spray for foam to dissipate , then turn on aircon full heat 10 minutes . I parked car front wheels 15cm lower than read (ie on my driveway path crossover) to allow drainage on road of (?condenser) air con water outlet under front passenger seat. Lesson 1 - Consider buying a cheaper cabin filter from amazon, 2-3 weeks delivery - its a different part so check thoroughly I saw them $USD12. Buy one and if you confirm the part is what you need, stock up a few. Lesson 2 - I did this after 37,000km 2.8 years, (way too long) so will do more often 6-12 months. I doubt Toyota did this on regular services (maybe they did dont know) Lesson 3 - for daily driving, maybe turn aircon off and just circulate ventilation ?10 mins before you arrive destination ( ie before you switch off engine). Possibly this allows better evaporates the internals better (bacteria etc wont thrive) Lesson 4 see if you can buy this spray overseas ie if cheaper than $30 with delivery Extra - I've seen other YT use a similar (2xcan of foam plus a syringe )- up the external (?condenser) air con water outlet, ensuring tube is as deep as it will go. Wait 5 minutes then turn or aircon to flush - I may do that if needed.
Only difference in my 2021 Rav4 is there isn't a housing for the filter. Also, you should specify to do this with an empty glove box so everything doesn't fall out when you release the support bar

It looks like their is two coolant resiovors next too each other do I fill both of them up or are they diffrent?
Good job. As a side note many if not most aftermarket filters do not say "UP" on them but they say "airflow" instead. The airflow is downward so the arrow on those filters should point down instead.
Thank you so much for your comment, I was trying to figure which direction to put my
aftermarket filter
This was very necessary point out. 🍺
Yeah, I didn't realize that at first, and installed the filter upside down. Luckily, I figured it out when I went to toss the old filter, and reinstalled the new one correctly.
