Default Engine Air Filter Box

So I decided to put in a K&N filter.
Easy install
But It was amazing to see how much trash was in the box. A lot of leaves were sucked in and fully surrounding the old filter. In some areas it was packed tightly around the filter. It was a lot!
I'm not referring to the cabin filter!
So I suggest you at least take a look and give your filter a relief!

537, if the car has a "snow screen", you'd better check that as part of general housekeeping.

Isn't this service covered in the Air Filter Service interval?

Air Filter is very easy to remove...The intake tube runs from the throttle body to the air box in the fender.you simply loosen the clamp holding the intake tube to the airbox with a screwdriver, then pull off the intake tube. Then depress the small holding tab and twist the filter assembly (filter is attached to a flange adapter and smaller adapter inside) and pull it out of the airbox. then remove the filter from the assembly, swap out, and reverse the process. Takes about 5 minutes
