1. Gather your materials.
You will need:
- A new air filter (check your owner's manual for the correct size)
- A flat-head screwdriver or socket wrench
- A clean rag
2. Locate the air filter housing.
The air filter housing is located on the top of the engine, near the front of the car. It is a black plastic box with a large hose attached to it.
3. Remove the old air filter.
To remove the old air filter, you will need to loosen the two screws that hold the air filter cover in place. Once the screws are loose, you can lift the cover off and remove the old air filter.
4. Clean the air filter housing.
While the old air filter is out, take a moment to clean the air filter housing. You can do this by wiping it out with a clean rag.
5. Install the new air filter.
Place the new air filter into the air filter housing. Make sure that the filter is seated properly and that the cover is securely fastened.
6. Start the engine and check for leaks.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Then, inspect the air filter housing for any leaks. If you see any leaks, you will need to tighten the screws that hold the cover in place.
That's it! You have now successfully replaced the air filter in your 2005 Dodge Neon.
