Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Air filter

Open the engine bonnet and locate the filter housing in the air box on the right side of the engine. Release the springs attached to the cover by lifting them upwards and then carefully remove the housing upwards, disengaging it from the support. Remove the old filter and insert a new one. Before inserting the new filter, clean the interior from any dust deposits. Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits perfectly with the cover. Reposition accurately and ensure the springs are securely attached. Start the engine and check for proper operation.
