Step by step

8 steps
  1. Open the hood and locate the black plastic filter housing on the left side of the engine (driver's side).
  2. Disconnect the air intake duct (the corrugated hose) from the housing cover by slightly sliding the clamp or releasing the plastic clip.
  3. Unclip the 4 plastic latches around the perimeter of the housing cover (one at each corner).
  4. Lift the cover up and remove the old filter.
  5. Wipe the inside of the housing with a dry rag or vacuum it to remove dust and dirt.
  6. Install the new filter with the pleats facing up (the direction is indicated by an arrow on the housing).
  7. Close the housing cover and press all 4 latches until they click.
  8. Reconnect the air intake duct, then tighten the clamp or snap the clip into place.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not run the engine without checking that the filter seats snugly in the housing. Air will bypass the filter, and the MAF sensor will give incorrect readings. If an oil-soaked filter is left in service for a long time, fuel consumption may increase and engine power may drop.
