I know it’s behind the glove compartment. How do I gain access to check or change it? Thanks for any help…appreciate it. ---

The parts dept of your toyota dealer can tell you. ---

It should be in the owner’s manual. On my Camry it has a screw on the side of the glove dept door and then the filter is behind it. ---

On an IS300 Lexus (which is a Corolla body cousin) it’s reached by opening the glove compartment, then gently squeezing the side of the compartment inward to pull a stopper past the frame of the opening, one on each side. Then the compartment swings all the way down, and in there you will see a panel you pull out with the filter inside. It’s easier than it sounds. ---

Often aftermarket filter suppliers will have directions in the box with the filter or on their web sites.
