2012 Toyota Prius Air Filter in Murray, UT

The 2012 Toyota Prius engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the sealed air filter housing (air box).

You can access the air box under the hood; release the housing clips to view and replace the panel-style filter. The cabin air filter, by contrast, is typically positioned behind the glove box area. Visit our Murray location for OEM-spec inspection and replacement, or schedule service online.

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

In your 2012 Toyota Prius, the engine filter protects the 1.8L inline-4 hybrid powerplant from dust and debris, supporting power and efficiency. The cabin filter traps pollen and fine particles so interior air stays cleaner. Our Toyota-authorized service in Murray installs OEM-spec filters to match Prius airflow and fit.

• Engine filter: performance and engine protection
• Cabin filter: HVAC airflow and air quality
