I run AEM cold air intakes, no oil on the filters, been very happy with the results, sound and power. Running the TRD filter on my 21 Tundra, that's what it came with, waiting to switch with what I know works better. Great vid!
For you people complaining about the oil on the maf sensor that was a thing of the past from Long ago, lol. The drop in filter made a difference on the throttle response, noise, and mpg and is a lot better than any after airbox. The oem box oulls air from the inside of the fender-wells not the engine area and the AEM cold air intakes are a total sham until shown otherwise. Actually in most cases you will actually lose hp and tq with these aftermarket systems.
over the years I have had nothing but issues with oiled filters. Tiny drops eventually hit your MAF and it can throw codes. Had this happen on numerous vehicles from LS’s to diesels so now I just run dry filters. Currently have a Solar Octane TRD Pro.

Big fan of high flow filters or cold air intakes. The engine is nothing but a pump. The less restrictive you can make the inlet and/or the outlet, the more efficient it becomes.
Anxious to see your MPG results before & after. What about a 0-60 MPH test before & after ? We're all curious if there's an improvement in Acceleration as well. Thx for all the great videos
Noticed those TRD filters have red media, my back up TRD filter for my 2018 TRD CAI I Had received also had the red media. I figured it was K&N manufactured and stamped with a TRD logo. Installed and my 18 Tundra,runs great.
used this before on the pre gen tundra. Sounds nice but a oil analysis reveals a lot of silicon in the oil. I would keep the stock paper filter in the truck incase you have ever in a super dusty condition.
How much is “a lot”? And how much is too much? Have driven multiple Toyota V8’s for hundreds of thousands of miles on TRD filters and have had ZERO issue or oil consumption. If I was to go on a desert or very dusty trip, very much agree that a paper filter would be more efficient and perhaps necessary. However, I believe that for most folks, it’s not gonna make a detrimental difference. Change your oil and use high quality oil and oil filters.
@@glockisaac5570 Not how it works, it is a function of a filter with a bigger openings for less restriction, so it will naturally allow bigger particles in
I always put either an AEM or K&N filter in my trucks when I change the filter since they're reusable and have better airflow. UNRELATED QUESTION. my NEW TUNDRA oil pressure sits around 1/4 of the way. Others say theirs does too. Any reason why toyota does this ??
Just got my AFE filter delivered today for my 21 4R - have run them for years in my Taco. . Nice to know there's a less expensive alternative out there. Would like to see how they stack up against AFE
I'm wondering how aftermarket companies are going to make snorkels for these new Tundras. Dual snorkels??? I was thinking they'd merge both intakes into one which would attach to one end of the snorkel. I wonder how that would affect performance...
The factory air filter has more "fins" which provides more surface area. The TRD air filter has fewer fins, so it has less surface area. More surface area provides more airflow. If the TRD air filter does provide more airflow, it must be because the material is more porous which would allow more dirt to pass through. Another characteristic of the oiled filters (like K&N) is they clog much, much faster than a factory filter.
@@laxwyo1 not necessarily. They probably just hold onto more dirt. Surfaces with oil hold onto dirt and dust more than a clean surface. Oiled filters also cause problems with mass airflow sensors because the oil gets carried by the airflow and deposits onto the mass airflow sensor. People can theorize all they want. The tests have been done the data has been gathered.
@@laxwyo1 no, It’s like making mud out of dirt. Add the lubricant or chemical they add and dust kind of merrys with it. I have ran a couple different of these and lived on a long gravel road. Some of them provide cleaning kits to clean them but it adds more chemical. Not sure what if any impact it could have on the motor.
Went to the dealer today and they discontinued these as the oil from the filters are fouling up the turbos. They recommended an aftermarket cold air system
How many miles on your tundra before you installed the TRD filters? And how many miles before you really pushed your tundra hard? I just picked up my 2023 sr5 trd offroad in Army green and i love it so far! Only 50 miles on it so far

Stupid question.. I ordered one Trd air filter and had brain fart and forgot it being twin turbo I’d need two. Will it be bad if I run one oem and one Trd for a couple weeks??
YeH it doesn’t do anything. They just try to put trd on anything and sell it at a high price. I’m a 4runner guy and yotagang for life but I don’t buy these trd replacement parts for barely any noticeable gain. Most people admit to buying the trd cold air intakes just for the simple fact it looks cool lol.
I worked at a off-road truck shop, and about 95% of people don’t understand cold air intakes, or air intakes. You will not gain hardly any performance, and can actually lose performance with cold air, and air filters lol. You have to tune the ECU, with a handheld tuner, to get any kind of benefit. These dumb air filters are misleading to a degree.
@@TRDJon Not really. They are designed for the factory intake, air, fuel. You have to tune the ECU to get any kind of real power increase. In fact, a lot of the time, you lose power with aftermarket intakes by themselves.
@@TRDJon This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. Modern ECUs will adjust to the filter. If it can adjust from sea level to mile above sea level. It can adjust to the flow changes from filter to filter. Now if you get a whole new CAI you will want to do some tuning to be able to get the full performance out of it.
@@dillonh321 I absolutely do and have looked at the numbers myself. You can add a aftermarket intake or filter and it will not hurt anything. The reality is that the gains are minimal and sometimes worse then stock. You need to tune the ECU to maximize performance.
Project farm did a video on these, and the consensus is that they are good unless you are in a dusty environments, if you are, RIP to your engine. They do a poor job of actually filtering particles.
That’s a great channel but there have been lots and lots of tests done on these and unless you over oil these filters they prove to be better than the standard paper

Would you say the better of the filter like the TRD filter let's the turbo open more often
Am I wrong to think its probably a rebranded K&N filter because toyota doesnt manufacture these?
Probably the same manufacture
Most likely.
How about an update on trd filters??? Is it better mpg, power, etc...
Hard to tell now. I have 35's and a lift some my MPG is goin down . Great power still
Whats your mpg now with 35’s and lift?
So a K&N replacement stock filter.
Most likely made by K&N, so yes.
I do hear your center console rattling. Maybe you got a pre production console??
Who knows. It’s horrible
interesting to see Mas Air Flow Sensor is too clock to the Filter .
Does this mod make a difference in the 5th gen 4runner?
Yes I have a 5th gen 4 runner with A K&N drop in you can fill the difference
Nice view of the Trump golf course.
Isnt it similar to the K&N filters???
does the TRD Pro Tundra come with the TRD filter as standard?? cuz I saw there's still an option for me to purchase at the checkout...
It's in Destin
I was told by Toyota if you get the TRD filters you may have to get it tuned or it could blow the engine…
Then they shouldn't sell them...

More airflow equals more contamination. Watch Project Farms air filter review.
