How to Change the Engine Air Filter

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Air filter

In this video, you will learn how to change the engine air filter, which can become dirty and clogged over time, reducing the amount of fresh air reaching the engine. First, open the car's bonnet using the lever typically located between the footwell and the driver's door. Locate the air box and unclip the four securing clips. Remove the upper casing of the air box and take out the old panel filter, replacing it with a new one. After ensuring the new filter is correctly positioned, refit the upper casing of the air box and secure it with the clips.
