Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

See Engine Compartment Overview   for the location of the engine air cleaner/filter.

Inspect the air cleaner/filter at the scheduled maintenance intervals and replace it at the first oil change after each 80 000 km (50,000 mile) interval. See Maintenance Schedule   for more information. If driving on dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the filter at each engine oil change.
