Replacing the air filter is a very simple operation. The air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.

The replacement is also influenced by the type of roads driven on; dusty roads require more frequent changes, even at 10,000 miles. The first step is to unscrew the screws of the filter cover.

Once the cover is removed, extract the old filter, clean any dust from the inside, and carefully insert the new filter into its seat, ensuring the retaining clips are secure. Attach the filter cover and tighten the closure screws accurately.
