I just replaced the air filter on my 718 myself this weekend. It's quite simple but requires attention to detail. You'll need a T25 Torx screwdriver and a new filter. Open the engine cover, and you'll find the filter housing located on both sides of the engine near the fenders, with six screws on each side. When unscrewing them, remember to support the cover with your hand to prevent the small screws from falling into the engine bay. After lifting the cover, you'll see the old filter—compare its size with the new one to ensure they match. During installation, make sure the arrow on the edge of the filter points in the direction of airflow; installing it backwards can affect intake efficiency. Finally, when replacing the cover, pre-thread all screws before tightening them one by one to avoid misalignment. The whole process takes about half an hour, and it's recommended to check every 10,000 km or six months.
