The meaning of the air filter: The air filter is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filtration device. 2. The function of the air filter: During operation, the engine needs to intake a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the dust particles suspended in the air will be sucked into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and the cylinders. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air.
Hey buddy, you're asking about replacing the air filter on a 2017 CRV? I just did this myself. Open the hood and look for a rectangular plastic box near the windshield side. Use a screwdriver to remove the clips and screws on the box cover, being careful not to lose them. When pulling out the old filter, note its orientation, and insert the new filter with the same arrow facing downward. Don't make the same mistake I did the first time by installing it backwards, which caused poor airflow. I recommend using Mann or Bosch filters—they're half the price of OEM. Wipe the box edges clean before sealing to prevent dust leaks that could harm the engine. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, saving you 200 bucks in labor compared to the dealership. For city driving, change it every six months; shorten the interval if you frequently drive on construction sites.
