Park level, turn off engine : Park your car on a level surface in the shade. Turn off the engine and let it cool down.

Pull out old filter : Pull the old filter out of the case.Hold the old filter up to the light—if you can see light through it, it’s still in good shape and can be reinserted.
Slide in clean filter : Slide in the clean air filter.
Close clasps : Close the clasps on the case.
Close hood : Close the hood—and breath easy. Now your car can, too.
