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.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an engine air filter on this 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon. It's a pretty easy operation. The only tool you'll need is a 10mm wrench.
To service your air filter, first you'll want to remove the two bolts at the corners here. I'm going to correct myself a little bit. You actually only need to take the rear bolt off, the one I'm working on right now. That's the only one that's required. You don't need to take that one that's closer to the front of the vehicle off.
Now, there are three clasps, just pull back with your thumb. You might want to use a screwdriver on this one. Pull this back, up, and bring the air filter up and out after that. You might want to use a vacuum and go in here and just vacuum this out a little bit.
Put your new filter in, slide it right in. Make sure it seats all the way around in there. Pull this forward, and lock your clasps back on. Then replace your bolts. Fast-forward here again. Again, I'm showing you replacing both those bolts, but you only need to replace the one that's further back towards the back of the vehicle, closer to the driver's side.
