So I'm looking at doing the 80k km service on my Corolla myself and was looking up some Ryco parts and stumbled across the cabin air filter.

I never realised I had a cabin air filter. Does it exist (on the 01 model)? If so, can anybody tell me where it is, and how to access it and replace it? If it doesn't exist are all the components there for me to simply slot one in? Also is it just a simple remove dust filter or does it remove smells and stuff as well such as diesel fumes?

Also, dealers are looking at charging around $450 for the 80k km service which seems a bit steep to me. I do realise the extra things over a usual service are replacing the fuel filter and changing the brake fluid however most of it seems to be 'checks'. Is there anything else that they do that I should be looking at doing also?

So for my own service I'd be looking at changing

- air filter

- oil filter & oil

- fuel filter

- brake fluid

- rotating tyres

- topping up fluids if necessary.

Anything I have missed? Thinking transmission fluid but it wasn't listed in the service manual. Also, what brands are people using? I'm thinking Ryco as its a decent product and fairly cheap, but open to other brands. Any ideas?

Remove your glovebox and you'll see a drawer in the front of the heater box...

Pull out the drawer and thats where the cabin filter goes...

It will help to remove dust and dirt particles, leaves, sticks and smells from entering the blower fan and cabin...

It won't stop smells like diesel coming into the car unfortunately...

If you have the 1ZZFE model corolla you'll also need to change the coolant and spark plugs aswell as everything on your list...

Auto Transmission Fluid doesn't need to be changed in the newer Toyota's unless necessary...

Manual Transmission Fluid also isn't reccommended to be changed unless necessary...

I just purchased a cabin filter on Ebay for $ 29. Fitting it is even easier than purchasing it.. almost:)
