How to Replace a Car Air Filter
2 Answers
Open the hood and locate the air filter. Loosen the screws on the airbox to open it. Check the condition of the filter. If it is moldy or damaged, replace it with a new one and reinstall it.
I always change the cabin air filter on weekends. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, gently press the clips on both sides to remove the entire glove box. Then you'll see a rectangular cover panel behind it—pinch the clip to open it. When pulling out the old filter, remember the arrow should face downward. Lightly tap the new filter to remove surface dust before inserting it with the arrow facing down. Close the cover and reinstall the glove box. The engine air filter is located in the engine bay—release the metal clip to lift the cover, remove the old filter and wipe any dust from the housing, then place the new one in smoothly and press the cover firmly. The whole process takes about ten minutes, requiring only a screwdriver as a tool. After replacement, you'll immediately notice fresher airflow. It's recommended to check these filters every 10,000 km or every six months.
