That air filter is behind the glove compartment, you have to squeeze the sides of the compartment to remove it. Then slide out the air filter. It can be cleaned depending on the amount of filth on it. Blow it out with an air hose, but be careful to not rip it. Next time, it would most likely need replacing.
if this was helpful, please give it thumbs up to help others.

Oily and dusty smell comes out from the AC.

Change your cabin filter! Also check for any leaks at engine burning off on exhaust. When you close your hood there is a rubber seal ( glass side) , make sure that is in place. If engine is dirty try power washing it. A clean engine is easier to pinpoint leaks

Not cooling as before

If you are talking about the AC, then I suggest cleaning or replacing the cabin air filter located behind the glove box. See your owners manual for details. If problem persists replace the AC clutch relay ( rockauto.com $11), located in the under hood fuse box towards the front of the fuse box.

My cabin air filter needs to be changed. Where is

I just did my 2004 Solara... assuming it's the same, it's very easy. Step 1: take off glove box. (one screw near door to detach operational piston. squeese the dop to release two pins on either side of the box. pull in the direction to open until it comes off.) Step 2: pull out filter container. (push two release levers and pull out) Step 3: replace old filter with new filter. (be sure that the air flow direction is in the correct direction... from down to up. there should be an arrow on the filter.) The filters are available from NAPA auto parts, $20 for the good one, $10 for the economy one.

Need instructions on replacing a drive belt and a cabin filter for a 2006 Toyota Corolla S

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box, you will have to remove the glove box, behind the glove box is a cover about 1" high and 7" long, remove that cover and you will see a tray that holds the cabin air filter, remove the tray and you can replace the paper cabin air filter, I recomend using a Toyota cabin air filter, the Toyota cabin air filter is a HEPA air filter and is available at any Toyota dealer for about $ 30

What all does a/c service include?

Is the A/C cooling and seem normal? I would not have the A/C serviced unless there is a problem. There is a filter for the refrigerant but the dealer has to discharge the system to replace it then recharge the system...total waste of money since the filter is in a closed system and if the A/C is working properly anyway.

The Solara may have a cabin air filter like my Camry had...it was behind the glove box, but check your owners manual for the replacement procedures. That is about the only thing you need to change for the A/C. If it is not as cool as it was last year, take it to a good repair shop (not dealer) and have them recharge the system. You can buy recharge cans at auto parts stores with an indicator on them and do it youself...just follow the directions on the can.

The air filter is easy to replace...is is usually at the front of the engine compartment in a plastic box. Unclip or unscrew the lid and remove the old one and slip in the new one.
