🔧 Maintenance Tips to Keep Filters Clean:

✔️ Use High-Quality Filters – Avoid cheap brands.
✔️ Change Filters on Time – Follow Toyota’s service schedule.
✔️ Inspect Filters Regularly – Especially after off-road driving.
✔️ Use Good Quality Fuel – Dirty fuel clogs the fuel filter faster.
✔️ Drive at High RPMs Occasionally – Helps clear carbon buildup in DPF.
✔️ Keep AC System Clean – Prevents cabin filter clogging.

📌 Bonus Tip: If you frequently drive on dusty roads, install a snorkel to reduce dust intake.
