What worries me especially with Toyota parts is that you pay extra for the badge with no significant performance/quality gains - especially with the brakes (R1250 per front disc on my RXi and R750 for pads all ex installation!). Normally a clean stock airfilter has done the job for me on most of my cars. I made an effort to change my airfilter with every service on my RXI (there were times when Toyota didn't recommend it and it could be felt if skipped) Also when messing with airfilters and oil (considering a ram tube and a sock on my Mini) we have to keep our dusty climate in mind. Dirt will kill an engine.

Also on the topic of services - the service book doesn't mention what should be done at each service - I think Matt_RSA will be the first to check this out first hand and let us know.
