After-market Air filter '03 Camry

Guest 12 April 2005 01:38:30
 Well, Napa finally has an after-market air filter and cabin air filter
out now for my '03 4-cylinder.

Up until now, nobody locally had aftermarkets and the Toyota dealer
charged $22 for the air filter one last time I looked vs. $12 at Napa
and $28 for the cabin vs. $22 at Napa.

Well, I'm exaggerating a bit, but I had to stand on my head, recite
Japanese and curse colorfully before I could get the air filter box
cover to snap back into place. Seems that Napa made the rubber edge
gasket fairly thick on the air filter, which made it hellish to get the
filter into place. Hey, for the $10 savings, I managed, but was not
happy.

The Origninal Toyota filter is fiber medium all around, no rubber at
all and on the edges where the cover snaps down is about 75 percent
thinner than the after-market replacement.

The cabin air filter was a little fussier than the Toyota also, but did
snap in without TOO much trouble.

I've found the same problem with WIX filters, which are a good quality and
make a lot of the NAPA filters for them. Don't know the exact dollar savings
but it is noticable.

 Give me the names and URLS and I'll order. I'm in Oregon, so sales tax
is not an issue (we don't have it).

Yep, I know WIX makes pretty much all the Napa "Gold" filters, which
these were. Wix are top quality.

 I checked the prices on the websites. None of them work out cheaper
than the Napa parts, although they are considerably cheaper than my
local Toy dealer's prices -- except for oil filters, seems those are
cheap at all Toy dealers.

When I get into ignition parts, I'll probably order from one of the
above though.

I'm perfectly satisfied with Napa filters, despite the extra
four-minutes I have to struggle and curse to get the air filter
in....at least I know it fits tight (HA HA).
