Can I Replace the Air Filter Myself?

[TessaFitz]

You can replace the air filter yourself. The steps to replace the air filter are: 1. Remove the damping rods on both sides of the glove box; 2. Take off the glove box to reveal a black rectangular cover plate, pry it open, and remove the clips; 3. Take out the old air filter and install the new one. The consequences of not replacing the car air filter for a long time are: 1. Reduced filtration efficiency, leading to severe wear of the engine cylinders; 2. Incomplete combustion of gasoline, increased carbon deposits on the throttle, resulting in unstable idling, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and abnormal engine vibration; 3. Blockage, causing insufficient air intake into the engine.
