Pro 5R inverted replacement for the correct housing
The aFe 30-80444R replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications. Washable, reusable five-layer pre-oiled cotton gauze. Service with aFe POWER CLEANER and blue air-filter oil. The exact manufacturer product page limits this filter to TRD Pro and Trailhunter submodels with the 2.4L turbo engine. The current manufacturer family announcement explicitly lists Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid and Trailhunter Hybrid 2024–2026 plus 4Runner TRD Pro Hybrid and Trailhunter Hybrid 2025–2026. This is not a blanket approval for all Tacoma or 4Runner 2.4L trims. Match the original filter and factory housing; no unrelated Land Cruiser, Lexus or other Toyota application is inferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 30-80444R?One Pro 5R inverted OE-replacement air-filter element for the verified housing and engine application described here; this is not a complete intake system.
Which application should I verify?The exact manufacturer product page limits this filter to TRD Pro and Trailhunter submodels with the 2.4L turbo engine. The current manufacturer family announcement explicitly lists Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid and Trailhunter Hybrid 2024–2026 plus 4Runner TRD Pro Hybrid and Trailhunter Hybrid 2025–2026. This is not a blanket approval for all Tacoma or 4Runner 2.4L trims. Match the original filter and factory housing; no unrelated Land Cruiser, Lexus or other Toyota application is inferred.
Does this media need oil?Washable, reusable five-layer pre-oiled cotton gauze. Service with aFe POWER CLEANER and blue air-filter oil.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?The manufacturer family announcement advertises up to 13% greater filter flow for the Pro 5R version. This is not a 13% engine horsepower or torque gain.
How does this filter seal?Its progressive bump seal conforms to the original housing; the base and inverted top are polyurethane. The manufacturer says separate filter gaskets or sealants are not required; the existing housing must still close and secure correctly.
Are a hose coupler and cleaning kit supplied?The exact listing identifies an OE-replacement filter. A generic Coupler Included field does not establish a separate hose package; no airbox, tube, sensor, cleaner or oil bottle is documented as supplied.
Does every 2.4L Tacoma or 4Runner use this filter?No. The manufacturer restricts the filter to TRD Pro and Trailhunter. Confirm the original housing and exact hybrid application; shared engine displacement is not sufficient.
How should I service this exact media?Washable, reusable five-layer pre-oiled cotton gauze. Service with aFe POWER CLEANER and blue air-filter oil. Inspect according to dust exposure and restriction; follow the manufacturer media-specific procedure, let the filter dry naturally and avoid excess oil on oiled media. Pro DRY S remains oil-free. No fixed interval applies to every environment.
