Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12for
location of engine air
cleaner/®lter and change
indicator (if equipped).
When to Inspect
If your vehicle is equipped with a ®lter change indicator
it lets you know when the ®lter needs to be replaced.
Vehicles with a restriction indicator, inspect the air
cleaner/®lter at every oil change and replace the ®lter
when the indicator tells you to. Vehicles without a
change indicator, inspect the air cleaner/®lter at every
oil change and replace it at the ®rst oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km).
How to Inspect
Locate the ®lter change indicator. When the change
indicator turns black or is in the red/orange ªchangeº
zone, replace the ®lter and reset the indicator. To
inspect the air cleaner/®lter, remove the ®lter from the
vehicle and lightly shake ®lter to release loose dust and
dirt. If the ®lter remains ªcakedº with dirt, a new ®lter
is required.
To inspect and replace the ®lter and reset the indicator
(if equipped), do the following:
The air cleaner/®lter assembly is located on the front
corner of the engine compartment on the passenger's
side of the vehicle.
