SPEARHEAD Max Thrust Engine Air Filter MT-895 — Direct-Fit for Sequoia/Tacoma/Tundra, Hex-D Pleat High Dust Capacity

This Max Thrust replacement is built as an OEM-style flexible panel filter with a Hex-D pleat pattern and layered media that increases dust-holding capacity without choking airflow. It’s sized and shaped to install where your factory panel filter sits, so DIY replacement is straightforward and preserves factory fitment and sealing. The design focuses on balancing particle capture, engine breathing, and service interval convenience for up to 15,000 miles of expected performance between changes depending on driving conditions.

How does this filter improve engine breathing and performance?

The Max Thrust uses progressively finer filter layers plus a hexagonal pleat geometry to create more surface area and deeper dirt storage than typical flat-panel filters. That allows air to pass freely while trapping more particles, which helps the engine maintain efficient combustion and throttle response under normal driving conditions.

• Hex-D pleat design for increased surface area and dirt capacity
• Multi-layer media maintains airflow even as the filter loads
• OEM-fit form factor ensures proper sealing and consistent airflow

Will this fit my vehicle and is it easy to install?

The MT-895 is made as a direct replacement for specific flexible panel air filter applications: Sequoia (2014–2022 flexible panel), Tacoma 3.5L V6 (2016–2023 only), and Tundra (2014–2021 flexible panel). Installation is a simple swap of the air-box element that most owners can do with minimal tools in minutes.

• Confirm year, make, and model — fits specified Sequoia, Tacoma 3.5L, and Tundra ranges
• Direct OEM-style fit avoids modifications or seal issues
• Quick, tool-light replacement saves shop labor costs

How long does the filter last and when should I replace it?

SPEARHEAD designs the Max Thrust to offer effective particle capture for up to 15,000 miles under typical conditions, though heavy dust, off-road use, or severe environments will require earlier replacement. Regular visual checks during oil changes help you decide when it’s time to swap to a fresh element.

• Rated for up to 15K miles in normal driving environments
• Inspect during routine maintenance; replace sooner if heavily soiled
• Changing at proper intervals protects engine components and intake systems

What makes this filter different from standard replacements?

Unlike many basic panel filters, the Max Thrust emphasizes a higher dirt-holding capacity with layered, progressively finer media so it captures more contaminants without sacrificing airflow. The construction is optimized to hold roughly twice the dirt of some standard filters while maintaining the factory fit and sealing profile.

• Higher dust-holding capacity versus common filters
• Layered media captures a wider range of particle sizes
• OEM-fit design ensures proper installation and engine protection

Who is this for: The SPEARHEAD Max Thrust MT-895 is aimed at owners of compatible Sequoia, Tacoma 3.5L, and Tundra trucks who want a straightforward OEM-fit upgrade that traps more contaminants and preserves airflow. It’s a practical choice for drivers seeking an easy DIY replacement that extends service intervals in normal conditions and helps maintain engine efficiency and protection without modifying factory systems.
