Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

Your engine air filter is right here on the driver side of the engine compartment. You can see two clips there, and then there is another clip here. On this vehicle, there's the remains of a clip here, but it has been broken. This is pretty easy and self-explanatory, but not everybody is an expert so that's why we need these videos.

Take these clips and you pull up. Push down on this one in the back, and you push down on the side of the one over here. Pull the clips up. Lift up this box and your air cleaner comes out.

New air cleaner. You probably want to take a vacuum. There is usually some leaves, and sand, and stuff, so clean this out. Take your new air cleaner, insert it, and make sure it's seated down correctly. You want to push this air box towards the engine a little bit, make sure this corner goes over the filter element. Everything goes down. Push down and reset these clips. Reach in here, reset this clip, and then the fourth clip over here.
