Replacing the Engine Air Filter

Model: Mitsubishi Outlander MK 2 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter box is located at the rear right of the engine bay when viewed from the front, just in front of the brake fluid reservoir; this car model has a particularity: the engine air filter is positioned vertically. Therefore, remove the box covering the filter location, extract the pressure clips that secure the air duct to the bulkhead, unclip the metal tabs that hold the filter box cover, and remove it to extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the gasket adheres perfectly to the edges before refitting the cover.
