All horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter have downward air flow. Otherwise the blower motor would be full of dirt and debris. If it doesn't say up next to the arrow then the arrow indicates air flow direction and should point down. Another simple way to determine this is noticing how the dirt accumulates on top of the old filter which proves that dirty unfiltered air enters the topside of the filter and flows downward. Still not sure? Then remove the filter and turn on the blower (LIKE YOU DID). Then put your hand where the filter goes. Does it feel like it's blowing upward? Use a piece of string or tissue paper. They will be sucked downward. If it doesn't say anything next to the arrow (like on a WIX branded filter) then by default an arrow on an air filter indicates air flow direction. I've already emailed WIX to confirm this to be true.
thanks for the info. I really wanted to make sure where the airflow was blowing at because it's all confusing and stuff. I know for a fact that my filter for my lexus is on the wrong direction and i'm gonna do a quick fix on that. I did do the method on putting my hand in there and i still couldn't tell which way the air was blowing so luckily i had a thin plastic bag which you saw in the video confirming that the air flow was going down. I made a mistake where I thought air flow was going up because of the blower motor being on the bottom blows air to the top and through the vents.
@@Giangsturh Centrifugal blowers suck air into the center of the blower and expell it out the sides. If your Toyota filter is in wrong (also has downward air flow) I wouldnt turn it over unless it's only been in for a very short time. If a filter is in upside down, it's not critical but it likely will clog up faster and need to be changed more often.
@@njsongwriter yea. as of right now the filter is upside down with debris. I'm gonna go to the auto parts store and buy a new one and put it right side up. I have read that if the filter is upside down, it doesn't really mess things up but it can cause a restriction of flow.
@@Giangsturh I just buy the Super Tech filter from Walmart for 10.97 made in the USA. It's not like buying an air filter for the engine (unless you have allergies in which case a better cabin filter may help).
