When I first changed the air filter for my Peugeot 308 myself, I found it super easy and cost-effective. First, open the hood and locate the black airbox in the engine compartment, usually a rectangular plastic box. There are a few clips or screws on the box that can be loosened by hand without any special tools. Then gently lift the top cover and pull out the old filter. Remember to check the direction to avoid installing the new filter backwards. When buying a new filter, make sure to choose the correct model, which costs around a few dozen yuan online. After changing it, I felt the throttle was lighter, the engine breathed more smoothly, which saves fuel and extends engine life. It's recommended to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially in dusty areas. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and is much cheaper than going to a repair shop.
