First, prop up the engine hood and locate the position of the air filter. The air filter is located under or inside the glove box on the passenger side. You can open it with a standard Phillips screwdriver, remove the old one, and replace it. The air filter is one-way conductive. When installing, make sure the front side faces upward. Be careful not to install the air filter upside down. Replace it with the new air filter. Close the cover, tighten the screws with the screwdriver, and the air filter replacement is complete.
I'm used to working on cars myself, and changing the air filter on my Mercedes-Benz GLC260L is something I often do. It's actually quite simple and saves money. The specific steps are: First, open the hood without turning off the engine, locate the air filter box, usually on the left side of the engine, covered by a plastic lid. Loosen the clips or screws to remove the cover, carefully take out the old filter without damaging the internal components, and remember the installation direction. Then, install the new filter, align it properly, press it firmly to ensure no air leaks, reattach the cover screws, and after confirming it's secure, close the hood—done. The whole process takes just ten minutes, and the filter can be bought online for just a few dozen yuan, no need to waste money at the 4S shop. Regularly changing it allows the engine to breathe clean air, improves fuel efficiency, and prevents malfunctions—doing it once a year is just right. Beginners can start by checking the vehicle manual and experimenting, using simple tools like a Phillips screwdriver will suffice.
