Hi, I am on my way to learn the basic stuff to take care of my civic and save some $. I searched the forum but couldn't find this. I need to change the air filter but I am not completely sure where it is and how to do it. Any tip will be appreciated.

Also does anyone know of any good service guide or manual?

Thanks.

Which air filter? the cabin air filter or the intake? You need to pull out the glove box to get to the cabin air filter, but if you wanna get to the air intake filter, you gotta pop the hood and unscrew the four screws of the black box above the motor, then you can get to the filter...its a piece of cake.

I meant the air intake filter. Thanks for the tip.

Also, Don't overtighten when re-installing cover.

DO NOT unscrew when your engine bay is hot!!! *WARNING*

open your air filter box when it's NOT hot.
