Wix Engine Air Filter 46673 for Select Toyota & Lexus (2002–2013) — Embossed Pleats, Plastisol Seals

This replacement air filter uses embossed pleats and pleat-stabilizing beads to increase dust-holding capacity and maintain consistent airflow. Built with heat-resistant plastisol seals on the top and bottom walls, the filter creates a precise fit to reduce bypass and keep contaminants out of the intake system. Regular air filter replacement is a simple maintenance step that helps preserve engine efficiency, fuel economy, and long-term component life; always confirm fitment with your vehicle details before purchase.

How does the WIX 46673 improve engine protection?

The filter captures abrasive particles before they reach sensitive engine parts, reducing wear and the chance of contaminants mixing with engine oil. Its engineered pleat geometry and stabilizing beads increase surface area and maintain pleat spacing under airflow stress.

• Embossed pleats for greater dust capacity and consistent filtration
• Pleat stabilization beads prevent collapse under heavy airflow
• Heat-resistant plastisol seals ensure a tight, vibration-resistant fit

Will this filter fit my Toyota or Lexus?

The WIX 46673 is compatible with a range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles produced between 2002 and 2013, but fitment varies by engine and trim. Enter your vehicle year, make, model, and engine into the part finder to confirm correct application before ordering.

• Designed for specific Toyota and Lexus applications across 2002–2013
• Use the online part finder or owner’s manual for exact fitment

• Pleat stabilization beads for mechanical integrity over time
• Top and bottom heat-resistant plastisol seals for a precise, leak-resistant installation

How often should I replace this air filter?

Replacement intervals depend on driving conditions—dusty or off-road use shortens service life, while highway driving typically allows longer intervals. Refer to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule for the manufacturer’s recommended interval and inspect the filter during routine service.

• Inspect at every oil change or service visit for heavy buildup
• Replace sooner if you drive in dusty, polluted, or off-road environments
• Follow your vehicle owner's manual for baseline replacement frequency
