The position of the air filter in the four-cylinder models is at the center of a housing, inside the engine while on V6 models it is in a housing located on the left hand side of the engine. For removal of the air filter on a four-cylinder model, one has to unscrewthe two wing nuts and remove the top of that housing so as to take out its filter element. 3.3L V6 models need one to release these spring clips that keep together those two halves of an air cleaner housing and then lift up its cover so as to take away its air filter element. In case you have a 3.3L V6 engine next loosen the intake duct hose clamp, unplug Mass Airflow sensor, release clips then lift off cover and remove filter element.On 3.5L V6 models, press clips, pull filter carrier out from housing and take off filter element from carrier itself.

The air filter is installed at the front part of the car near the engine and situated inside the air cleaner housing. To remove the filter, there are four screws from the top part of the cleaner housing, after loosening it, take out the cover. Guaranteeing the total safety, slowly remove the air filter from the housing. The paper type air filter is not washable as such, if it is slightly dusty, it is recommended that you blow it with compressed air, though if this does not make it as good as new, then it is better if you replace it with a new one. Installation phase should be carried out by reversing the removal procedure.

The air filter is located inside the air filter housing on the left side of the engine compartment. To remove it, release the spring clips securing the housing halves, separate them, and take out the air filter element. Inspect the outer surface of the filter; if it is dirty, replace it, but if it is moderately dusty, it can be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the back to the front. Since it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled, and if it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily, it should be discarded and replaced. While the cover is off, avoid dropping anything into the housing, and never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed to prevent excessive engine wear and potential fire hazards. After cleaning, wipe out the inside of the housing, place the new filter in, ensuring it seats properly, and then reassemble the housing halves, snapping the clips into place.

The installation of the cover is the reverse of the removal process.

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
