- Helps maintain fuel efficiency
- Protects against dirt, debris, and contaminants

This was a good replacement for my 2022 Camry Hybrid LE. It fit pretty well, although was a little tighter fit than the OEM due to a thicker gasket around the edge. This filter does not have as many pleats and will therefore need to be changed more frequently. I got 63,000 miles from the OEM and dealership said I could go a little longer but should change it soon so I ordered this one. It was $21 for an OEM online so opted the Fram Extra Guard. I expect to get 15-20K from this filter. Pleased with it so far!

Doesn’t fit my 2024 Toyota Rav4 XLE. According to the Amazon filter, it was the right size.

The website showed this was compatible with a 2024 Toyota RAV4, however, it is not compatible. It’s nowhere near the same size as the original. This is happening more and more with Amazon lately.
Robert Dixon –
It’s a Fram air filter for a lot cheaper than the parts store! You should get it, if you need one that is!
