I've been into cars for many years and have changed air filters for various vehicles myself. For your KX3, the process is straightforward and practical: First, park the car and turn off the engine, then open and securely prop up the hood. The air filter box is located at the front of the engine, usually a black rectangular box with clips that can be opened by hand. When removing the old filter, there might be a lot of dust, so it's advisable to wear disposable gloves and goggles to avoid inhaling dust. Clean the inside of the box with a small brush or a damp cloth. Before placing the new filter, make sure it matches the size for the KX3 model, and the arrow indicator must face the engine's air intake direction—installing it backward can disrupt airflow. Close the box and secure the clips. The whole process takes 5-10 minutes, saving you a couple hundred bucks compared to going to a repair shop. I recommend replacing it every 15,000 kilometers or when you notice a drop in performance. A dirty air filter can hinder engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and potentially shorten the engine's lifespan. Regular maintenance can also improve the car's responsiveness and make driving smoother. The tools needed are simple—just a screwdriver and a cloth—making it easy even for beginners.
