We just hit over 30k on our 24 MDX Type S and I for the love of me can’t get the engine cover off. What am I missing? I want to replace the engine air filter and this cover isn’t budging. If anyone has had this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated

 

I just replaced the air filter on my 2022 MDX, but it's the naturally aspirated engine and only has 3 screws holding down the filter cover.
I see in this video that your Type-S has 5 screws holding down the filter cover, and it's over on the right side of the turbo housing.

The Type-S cover is also connected to some sensors unlike mine, so you need to be careful when moving it to the side to remove and install the new filter.
It looks more difficult to replace than my filter so good luck.

 

Thank you, I got it figured out. The filter I ordered won’t work because the Type S has a different size, would have been nice to know beforehand, but okay. The cover is actually easy to take off I think, it’s held in place by five phillip screws, just gotta order the correct filter. I think Acura wanted to charge me $160 labor to replace the cabin and engine filter, yeah no thank you. Again, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
