2014 Toyota Highlander Air Filter

It sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, upstream of the intake duct on the 3.5L V6.

The 2014 Toyota Highlander’s engine air filter is housed in a latch-or-screw-secured plastic box near the front corner of the bay. This placement lets you inspect the filter without removing engine covers. If you’re in Murray, our technicians can check the airbox seal and clips to prevent unmetered air after Utah’s dusty, wintery drives.

• Located in the engine bay airbox on the intake side
• Checked during routine maintenance in Murray, UT
• Housing seal and clips inspected to prevent leaks

It’s behind the glove box, inside the HVAC case, accessible after lowering the glove compartment.

The cabin filter slides into a tray behind a small cover on the passenger side. On the 2014 Toyota Highlander, you typically unhook the glove box dampener and tabs to access the panel. In Murray and the Greater Salt Lake City area, replacing this filter helps manage pollen, smoke, and road dust along the Wasatch Front.

• Behind glove box; remove dampener and tabs to access
• Filters incoming HVAC air for passengers
• Helpful for local pollen and inversion seasons

The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger HVAC.

On the 2014 Toyota Highlander, the engine filter safeguards combustion by blocking dust before it reaches the throttle body and MAF. The cabin filter, mounted behind the glove box, targets pollen and fine particulates for interior comfort. Servicing both supports reliable performance and clearer air during Salt Lake Valley driving.

• Engine filter = intake protection for performance
• Cabin filter = cleaner HVAC airflow for occupants
• Both benefit from OEM-spec media and fitment

Engine: reduced power and lower fuel economy; Cabin: weak airflow and musty odors.

A dirty engine filter can cause sluggish acceleration, rough idle, or an illuminated warning after Utah’s dusty or salted-road seasons. A dirty cabin filter often presents as noisy fans with limited airflow and lingering smells. In Murray, we visually compare your filters to new OEM units and note debris load from local driving.

• Engine: hesitation, rough idle, decreased MPG
• Cabin: weak vents, odors, more fogging
• Inspection catches debris, rodent nesting, or moisture

The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly; the cabin filter needs glove box removal and is also manageable with care.

Many Highlander owners can swap the engine filter by unclipping the airbox, but be careful not to disturb the MAF or leave gaps in the housing. The cabin filter requires gently lowering the glove box and orienting the media correctly. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray, we verify OEM-spec fit, inspect the intake path, and reset any related service notes.

• DIY possible with correct orientation and housing reseal
• Dealer adds intake/MAF visual checks
• OEM-spec filters help sealing and filtration

The 2014 Toyota Highlander uses two filters: an engine air filter for the 3.5L V6 (V-type, 3456 cc, 270 hp) and a cabin air filter that purifies HVAC intake air for passengers. Toyota Genuine Parts are recommended for both due to correct media density and fit, helping preserve airflow past the mass airflow sensor and ensuring the glove box–mounted cabin tray seals properly. Under Wasatch Front driving, dust, road salt, and seasonal pollen can load both filters faster than in milder climates. If you notice hesitation, reduced fuel economy, or weak vent airflow, it’s time to inspect. Bring your 2014 Toyota Highlander to Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray in Murray for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
