The air filter should be replaced at specified intervals and inspected between changes as part of a thorough preventive maintenance schedule. For four-cylinder models, the air filter housing is mounted in the right side of the engine compartment. Unlatch the cover retaining clips and detach all hoses and electrical connectors that would interfere with the removal of the air filter cover from the housing. Be careful not to drop anything into the housing while the top cover is off. Lift the air filter element out of the housing and wipe out the inside with a clean rag. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element and replace it if it is dirty. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. The filter cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Never drive the vehicle with the air filler removed as excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Place the new filter in the air filter housing, making sure it seats properly. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. For V6 models, the air filter housing is located on the right side of the upper intake manifold. Open the two retaining clips and swing open the air filter housing.

Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Installation is the reverse of removal.
