How do you change the engine air filter in a 2006 Honda Pilot?

Answer 1

I had been looking for the same answer for a 2007 Pilot and couldn't find it. So i bought the filter and took a shot myself. . .

Upon opening the hood, my 7-year old son could figure out where the engine air filter goes. It's a black box on the driver's side with a very wide hose going out of it to the engine. If you bought the right size replacement air filter, that's the shape of the black box.

You're going to need some light because there are four screws holding the cover of the filter box on. Unscrew them. Gently lift off the cover (so as not to disconnect the filtered air hose to the engine). Remove and discard the old filter. Put in the new filter. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.

Congratulations. You just saved yourself some money by installing it yourself. Now go wash your hands. . .

Side Note: Best to use a socket wrench w/ an extension to reach the 2 back screws (1 definitely will benefit from a flood light too).
