Has anyone found a non-oiled replacement filter for their Trailhunter?

Have not, after searching extensively several months ago when my truck was new. I’ve decided I’m good with cleaning the OEM filter.

How are you cleaning the filter? I would prefer not to have to purchase many of these due to the price.

Agreed. They’re meant to be cleaned and re-oiled. There’s a thread that goes over this:

buy another filter
keep one cleaned & one on the truck
cleaned one at ready to change at a oil change

when I had a CAI on previous toyotas
i kept my " Extra " filter pre charged in a small rubber tub with a lid that i took to the dealer when i had a oil change & have them swap dirty filter 4 clean filter , returning dirty filter into the tub
that way i could wash the filter let dry
then place in tub , squirt some fresh oil on it , as it has to take TIME to absorb into the entire filter .
that way you have a quick swap filter at the ready

That sounds like the best way to go. Buy a replacement and clean the old one so you're always ready to swap in a clean one as needed.

This is the part number I have in my notes for 2025 Trailhunter: PTR03-35241-AA. Can someone confirm this is what you have been ordering?

You have the right number. Here’s a picture of the spare filter box and price paid during a sale earlier this year.

It takes a long time for a washed filter to dry before we can apply oil, so it’s real nice to have a spare.

I would love to pay $62. The cheapest I could find this morning was $128.

Time is on your side. Lurk the sales.

I'll be willing to bet there is a K&N Racing filter that fits that truck exactly
that's where i bought my extra for a Toyota TRD CAI system for a Yaris
all those filters are the same tube size just the length is what is variable
dragsters use ones that are a foot long

You mean one that fits the tube and needs a new box or one that’s fused to a backplate like the OEM one?
