How to Replace the Air Filter on a Subaru Outback

Model: Subaru Outback BL, BP, MK 3 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Air filter

If the air filter on your Subaru Outback shows excessive signs of wear, it is time to replace it to avoid potential and dangerous engine overheating. This maintenance operation takes only a few seconds. Once the engine is off, lift the front bonnet of the car and locate the filter box situated just behind the passenger side front headlight. Remove the two safety clips present and open the box. Then proceed to replace the air filter and finally close the box correctly, ensuring the safety clips are secured.
