The air cleaner element should be
cleaned or replaced according to the
time and distance recommendations
in the maintenance schedule.
Clean the air cleaner element by
blowing compressed air through it in
the opposite direction to normal air
flow. If you do not have access to
compressed air (such as a service
station), ask your Acura dealer to do
this service.
Follow the replacement procedure
for removal and reinstallation.
The air cleaner element is inside the
air cleaner housing on the driver’s
side of the engine compartment.
To replace it:
Loosen the hose clamp around the
engine air intake tube. Slide the
tube off the air cleaner housing
cover.
Carefully unsnap a hose from the
clips on the air cleaner housing
cover.
Loosen the six Phillips-head
screws around the edge of the air
cleaner housing cover. Remove
the air cleaner housing cover and
set it aside.
