In-cabin air filter and Engine air filter
I need to know where i can buy
in-cabin air micro-filter and
the 2x engine air filter.
I live in vancouver,bc,canada so local is cheaper for me.
anyways
For the engine air filter, i saw that there is 2 clips, so i unclipped it and try to pull it out vertically but no luck. should i pull harder or do i have to do something else? not sure, couldn't find any instructions.
anyways link to the parts would be great and something that you have used/is using would be good.
thanks.
anything else i should do at 28 000 kilometers? (17k miles)
i rotated my tires for the first time, and do oil changes at 6000-8000km intervals, (3.7k miles)

Most any auto store will have both. The airbox has 4 clips and you have to unscrew the 10mm bolt that supports the airbox.
It's a pain to replace to I end up disconnecting the maf sensor and accordian tube and pulling the entire thing out to replace the filter. A bit more work but alot less chance at mangling your new filter trying to install it.

just unclip the 2 clips and pull up and a little towards the engine and it will pop right out, no need to take any bolts off.

I have used them and they are good and had my order in less than 24 hours. Shipping is free on orders > $75.
There are cheaper places.

I just replaced both cabin and engine air filters for the first time last weekend. The cabin filter is a bit of a chore but the DIY on it is very helpful.
For the engine filters, it is just the 2 clips. But, I had a problem getting them out also until I figured out that what you are lifting out is a square holder that the filters slide into from the side. When you try to take them out, sometimes the filter tilts out towards the rear of the car and hangs up on airbox. I had to stick my finger into the opening and push/tilt the filter back towards the front of the car and flush back into the holder, then the whole unit slid right out.
FYI< I used a Micron Carbon Cabin Filter and AFE Pro Dry Air Filters.
Good Luck!
