Thanks for the reply. I went to the local Auto Zone today, and they don't carry the 4Runner air filter (neither STP nor Fram). I thought about trying Wal-Mart, but I generally avoid that place like the plague unless I need other stuff.
Looks like I'll swing by the stealership sometime this week. My girlfriend works there part-time on weekends, so maybe I can get a better deal through her. 
Anyway, this will be the first & last time I need to replace the filter because I only have a little bit over a year remaining on my lease.
This 4Runner has been very good to me and I love it, but somehow doubt that I am going to buy it at the end of the lease. Regardless, whomever ends up with it is going to be driving a babied 4x4 that still looks almost new.
Maybe I'll just buy it outright and then re-sell it. Too early to tell right now. I only have 18k on it, but am allowed to have 36k at lease's end. Me thinks I need to drive it to work a bit more often!
:awais:
P.S. I already replaced the cabin air filter back in June or July - with about 14,000 miles on the clock.
