How do you replace an air filter on a 2004 Honda Civic LX?

Answer 1

First, notice the general location where the intake manifold is (on the back side of the engine-if you are standing in front of the car).

Second, notice the black (plastic) molding that sits directly above the intake manifold (this houses the air filter).

Third, remove the 7 screws that hold down the black (plastic) molding to expose your old and probably dirty air filter (these can be removed with a Phillips head screwdriver, or I believe an 8mm socket).

Fourth, replace your dirty air filter with a nice new one (preferrably an oem Honda filter, or if you want to go fast a K/N Filter...psh =P)

Lastly, replace the black (plastic) molding and secure the 7 screws (not incredible hulk tight, just alittle past snug)

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
