    Ok my 2015 Prius is about to reach 30k miles. I want to replace the Air Filters myself. Search online and found both on Amazon. I assume both need to be replaced at the same time? What to make sure I got the correct part #'s. For the engine air filter, Part # 17801-37021.

    Real Question:
    Now for the cabin air filter, I see two of them. Or is there only one? Part # 87139-YZZ10 and 87139-YZZ20. The cost difference is almost double from one to the other. What is the difference?

    one charcoal, one plain? i got charcoal from the dealer, $35. check your filters before buying new ones, sometimes all the need is a beating or vacuum.
    i replaced my cabin at 30k, but have the oem air filter at 40k, looks like new.

    Recently did both of mine, got both from Advance Auto Parts. There were two type for the cabin filer, one had an orange gasket and the other one didn't. I got the 'el cheapo' one w/o the gasket, wasn't sure if the gasketed one would fit in the hole! I'd used one before and it seemed fine IE: when I took it out it was dirty so air must have been passing through it and not bypassing it...
