Since this gets air sucked through it for about 4 seconds each time you turn your engine off you can probably check it every 10 or 20 years and be fine, lol!

@RaymondMillbrae 2 года назад

Forgot to mention that you did not CLEAN the filter before oiling it. For my K&N filters, there is a special cleaning spray which you spray on, let sit, then rinse the dirt and debris off. Then let fully dry, before adding the oil. Some people have recommended soaking in Dawn dishwashing detergent for a while, rinse, then let dry before adding the oil. Wonder if you can use the K&N cleaner and oil for this UNI air filter?

@ricksherman34 3 года назад

I bought (2) K&N versions and just re-oil one of them every other oil change and then clean the other one. It's a little dirty but honestly it could probably go much longer... 10K frequency seems good enough. Also I removed the housing and leave it off. I think it lets the filter breathe a little more easily. I live in Phoenix so we don't get a lot of rain , moisture here so that's not likely an issue.

@finditfixitmechanics 3 года назад

Good video and reminder, thanks for making these.

@Handl3sAreStupid 3 года назад

I haven't checked mine, but tbh I'm not sure that I ever planned to. If Toyota thought that foam filter would last forever, the higher quality unifilter will probably last a good long time. I've had mine in for a year, I'll look at it when I next clean my k&n air filter.

@testacoal110 Год назад

@stansmith2558 2 года назад

Hey man this is what I do when I clean my air filters clean it with hot water and dawn dish soap. Then you would use the spray to coat the top let it sit for like 5 minutes & you good to go

@ricksherman34 4 дня назад

I have run out of K&N cleaner in the past. Simple Green also works if you spray it on and let it cut the oil and dirt and then rinse it off and let it dry.

what don't you show the inside of the cover and the fan blades. would be interesting to see the condition of everything in there. it did not look like any dirt came out. Also, do you know of anybody running the original foam and the UNI filter together? Although you would have to find or make a new little foam filter.

@Tacomaholic Год назад

Running both the OEM and UNI filter together might throw a code as it would restrict the air flow too much.

@RaymondMillbrae 3 года назад

So I have 2 questions: 1) Once you put the filter in place, and then add the protective cover, nothing but the bottom of the filter is exposed. Wouldn’t that drastically reduce the air intake? Because before you removed and discarded the old cap, air entered in a 360° area. 2) Did you notice ANY discernible difference in performance when you installed this filter? You mentioned in another video that it sounded different when you turned OFF the vehicle. But what about when accelerating, revving, or idling? Any difference?

@Tacomaholic 3 года назад

The SAIS system is only related to emissions and has no bearing on the engine's performance. You can hear that system sucking in a last bit of air when you turn the truck off because of the new filter placed outside of the unit.

@RaymondMillbrae 3 года назад

@@Tacomaholic that is strange, because didn’t you say that if the foam breaks down and gets sucked into certain parts (restricting air intake), the vehicle would be sluggish, and some people reported that it would not go over 45 mph? So I would assume restriction to air DOES impede the performance. I was just asking because I am curious if you knew anything else about this.

@Tacomaholic 3 года назад

@@RaymondMillbrae I know Toyota just added the system to be emissions compliant during the 2nd Gen Era. Here's their definition of what the system does: "Secondary Air Injection Pump. ... An emissions component, that is part of the secondary air injection system, which is responsible for pumping clean air into the vehicle's exhaust stream to promote a cleaner and more complete burn before the fumes exit the tailpipe."
