Air Filter

[shahzad.waheed]

Toyota Dealership Sells Air Filter of Yaris For About 7000 PKR whereas at a normal shop they sell good copy or any Malaysian filter for about 1000 PKR. Is it ok to use that 1000 PKR copy or Malaysian air filter? Is there such a huge quality difference that worths 700% price? Dealership says change air filter after 10000KMs whereas if good copy air filter is changed twice during 10000KMs then still it's cheap.

Better option is to go for any filter which is branded / original, like guard filter from link in above posts. For its performance, you can go through this thread

Guard Oil Filter Tear Down

As the title suggests, this thread will contain tear down of Guard Oil Filter (for Toyota Corolla PKDM/JDM) with reference pictures. Some important threads before I get this one rolling, credit to @mashriqain for those threads. < https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/oil-fuel-fluids-filters/229857-leppon-filter-taken-apart-visual-inspection > < https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/oil-fuel-fluids-filters/229081-genuine-toyota-oil-filter-japanese-vs-thailand-made > Brand: Guard Type: Oil Filter Mode…

Yes I also could not find any info except for a few images of oil change places being azaki dealers, from who knows when.

The air filter is packaged exactly like a leppon. Same font and stuff. Same plastic cover and the filter looks the same too.

The oil filter may be a copy, as it's very light and doesn't look good quality. Has a mediocre plastic covering the bottom and you can see this red paste/glue if you look through the center hole. Ill probably use the air filter, but not the oil.

I inquired about genuine, otherwise I've been using guard for the last 3 oil changes without issue. It's just the guard one is a bit smaller for my pajero than the factory size which is why I'm a bit concerned.
