Review on EPAuto GP171 (CA10171) Toyota Engine Air Filter: Perfect Replacement for Camry & Venza Gas L4 (2007-2016) with CP285 (CF10285) Cabin Filter Compatibility by Ryan Gillett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Much lower quality than OEM filters

All previous air filters for this car (and there were many at 130k) had a rubber gasket around the edge and a frame over the pleated filter. This one was made much cheaper - no padding at all, just gathered paper edges, no frame. Installation was more difficult and the air intake around the filter more difficult to reseal after installation. In the future I will pay a few bucks more and get the OEM type. This was an example of "Sinification" - China found ways to cut production costs by pennies, resulting in marginal quality.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No performance
