    Air Filter Replacement on a 2002 camry SE V6 ?

    Can anyone give me a step-by-step on changing my air filter?
    i think i know what to do but i do not want to ruin something in the electrics on the
    engine
    the book calls it something the dealer should do(and i think that is nuts)
    i want to blow it out like i always did at 10,000 miles

    i know i have to pull the clip on the electrical conn,remove some small hoses, and the
    screws but do i have to do the air hose too?

    any help would be great!
    there must be someone who has done this!
    thanks

    Herb,

    Don't worry about all the hose and electrical connections. Grab
    yourself a 10mm socket and undo the 2 or 3 bolts, not in front of my car,
    and then tilt it up towards the center and slide it away. By the way make
    sure you replace your air filter with a K&N for the little extra boost of
    horsesies. Don't waste your money on the old paper style.

    Pass on the K/N. The extra horsepower or two that you get ONLY at
    full throttle is at the price of letting more dirt into your engine.
    Is that worth it?

    No problem your loss.. I have been using K&N's for years and never had the
    problems. If you want to pay the same amount every 12 months for a paper
    filter then so be it. I think it is better for the environment and my
    pocket book.

    Good luck Herb..

    To the contrary... the potential for "loss" (increased cylinder wear
    and oil contamination is yours if you fail to keep after that high
    maintenance air filter. Good luck to you, Herb.

    thanks for the info.............but
    i still am not sure how to open the engine air filter cover
    do i take out all 4 bolts or 2 or 3?
    do i disconnect the hoses and electric clip?
    i tried taking out the 4 bolts and lifting the cover - but it did not come up very easily
    i am not going to let the dealer to this - it is something i have always done
    does everyone have a step-by-step on this
    and thanks again for the info- i am going with all toyota parts on this car

    "On all 6
    cars, this (oil analysis) showed many times the amount of silica
    particles (airborne dust) in the oil than when a paper filter was
    used. This means that the K&N does not do as good of a job filtering
    the air, allowing more dirt into your engine. You may very well
    experience increased engine wear due to this, as your oil filter will
    not catch it all."
