You'll start by finding the hood latch right under dash on the left side. At the front of the car right in the center, on the bottom side behind the grill, there's the latch right here which will release the hood. The engine air filter is located right here, and we'll remove it by popping these clips loose. Then you pull this section up and away to get the filter out.

You can see the old one here, and the new one. They look the same, they fit the same, and now we're going to put the new one in. All right, with the new one in your right hand, you should be able to pull this intake side up with your left hand and slide the new one into place. At the bottom, there's a couple of slots that you have to put this thing into so that it lines up with this. It's tough to see on camera, but there's one large slot at the bottom that we need to line up. There we go. And then you just hold it in place, and snap both clips back into place

Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.
