How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter on a 2000 Toyota Tundra

While an air filter cleans the air for your Tundras engine, the cabin air filter removes the dust, small air particles and outside odors before they reach the passenger compartment. In 2000 Toyota started installing cabin air filters in Tundras at the factory. Toyota recommends changing the cabin air filter every 10,000 miles, however, dustier conditions may require replacement more often. Breathe a little easier by replacing your Tundras cabin air filter.
