If it looks dirty or clogged with debris, it’s definitely time to replace it.

Step 4: Install the New Filter

Place the new filter in the same orientation as the old one. Make sure it fits snugly.

Step 5: Close the Air Filter Box

Secure the cover with the clips or screws you removed earlier.

Step 6: Final Check

Start your car and listen for any unusual sounds. You should notice smoother performance right away.

Replacing your air filter takes just minutes, but it can make a big difference. Regular replacements help your engine work more efficiently, reduce emissions, and save you money on fuel in the long run.
