How often should I change the air filter on my Toyota Corolla?

I just bought a used Toyota Corolla and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the air filter. Is it something I can do myself or should I take it to a mechanic?

It's recommended to change your air filter every 12,000 miles or once a year. If you drive in dusty or dirty conditions, you may want to change it more frequently. You can definitely change it yourself, just make sure to consult your owner's manual for specific instructions.

I change the air filter on my Corolla every 6 months, but I drive a lot so I like to be extra cautious. It's a fairly simple task, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, it's always a good idea to take it to a mechanic.
