2001-2007 Toyota Highlander Engine Air Filter Replacement

Introduction

I will be working on a 2005 Toyota Highlander, but this method works for all 1st Generation Toyota Highlanders between the years 2001-2007.

Be sure to power off the ignition and engage the parking brake before beginning this guide. Never slam the hood of the car closed—this could cause the radiator to burst.
