AIr Filter

I was recommended to change the air filter every 15,000 miles.

Acura dealer wanted to charge me like 50 bucks.

Where can I buy online? Is it easy to install it?

What about this one?

Thanks

If you have to ask the question, then you should pay someone to change it.


Doesn't anyone anymore?

granted, I can before chaging it.

But why should I pay for something that might be easy to do.

If you just need a replacement just get the OE filter and do it yourself. The K&N runs about $50 but you'll never have to replace it, you just clean it & re-oil it.

you could get the foam filter that comptech sells as well if you dont want the k&n

I don't know what people think of those, but just thought i'd inform you of another option.

Super easy. There are a couple of screws/bolts holding down the side of the filter cover. Remove those with a phillips screwdriver. Unclip the vacuum nose from the cover and slide the cover out (towards the screws ... as it is "clipped in" on the opposite side). Pop the filter cover and R&R the air filter. Put the cover back on by sliding it into the clips and pushing the cover back in place. Make sure you have the cover in the clips. Screw the screws back in place and voila ... you're done.

You can PayPal me the $50 ... no wait ... I'll give you a discount ... $45.
