How do you access air filter in a 2005 Acura RL?

Answer 1

The Acura RL is a solid built car so it would be hard to access its air filter or any of its technical and mechcanical items for you and me and any small mechanic repair shop for that matter. It's best to take your Acura RL to the Acura Dealership to perform this task.

thats absolute non-sence,

the engine air filter is located in the front left or right hand of the engine compartment it will look like a large plastic box, it has 5 tabs on the sides that need to be pulled away and the top will come free "some wiggling may be necessary" the filter is usually of a paper variety however many after market filters are available. any parts dealer will be able to give you the proper filter based on the make, year, and engine type of the car. by engine type I mean the displacement like a Acura 3.5l RL the "3.5" is the displacement.

lower is rambling, read if you like

thats absolute non-sence, any half witted Nerfherder can do this. dealers rip you off! I will explain. the rise of car maintenance is do to the fact that 90% of people out there don't want to get there hands dirty , the manufacturers make things seem complicated and put danger signs all over because idiots sue them when they stick there hand in the fan while the engine is running.

to make up for this maintenance facilities buy equipment and train the wrench monkeys how to put in to car, push button, and read the code, go to a book that it tells them whats wrong, they pass this built in idiocy to you. the owner. I build and refurbish aircraft. and aircraft maintenance isn't as expensive as car maintenance is! and I hold an actual degree, not only that if I screw up your not dead on the side of the road your just dead.

they tell you it is technical, usually that means with out a computer to tell them, they don't know. some things are usually just hidden or requires special tooling that was made to do the job so you couldn't do it at home, these tools are usually found online or at part stores, and at$89 to120. dollars per hour, at least try it your self . I am not saying rebuild your engine but a filter is basic same with bulbs oil plugs. just read a bit and educate yourself first.

remember nobody is any better than anyone else, they have just been shown before, educate yourself and rid yourself of idiots that want to lighten your wallet.
