I took a picture of the engine air filter when I had it disassembled. You can see the difference of one with 15K miles on it, versus white & brite. It raised a question. The other half seems to be in an unremovable container. Dirty, but unremoveable. Is it washable? Can I get it out, or does the whole container / lid / thingie have to be thrown out in order to have a new one? [attachmentid=11941] Thanks in advance to whomever is in the know.

The carbon charcoal thing in the aircleaner housing is for evaporative emissions control. Realistically I would guess every 5 years for a replacement schedule. No mention of it in the maintenance menu. My FJ Cruiser also has one of those black filters in the housing
