Changing my two filters on my 08 Civic EX-L

[Melena]

I'm needing to change the Cabin and Engine Air filters on my car, and right now money is tight + dealership/Mechanics are wanting to gouge me horribly. Jiffy Lube wanted about 80 to change them, and my dealership wanted about double that. From reading online, it seems pretty easy to do, but i'm most defiently not a car person. Has anyone here changed them before, and if so how easy was it and can someone with minimal car knowledge change them with a guide, and time to spare?

Air filter IIRC is 4 phillips head screws. If they are rusted, let them soak a few minutes in WD40, PB Blaster, or some other lubricant. Pretty straight forward. It's a big black box under your hood with 4 screws at each corner. Take old filter out, clean out and debris under it, put new filter in, tighten screws. Cabin air filter is usually located behind the glovebox, take out the glove box, usually by squeezing the "ears" on each side of it. Once the glovebox is out look behind it for a little door maybe 1-2 inches high. Open the door, remove old filter, put new one in. Make sure you pay attention to the direction of the air flow on the side of the new filter. Should take you no more than 15 minutes for both.

nvm, i'm thinking of an older civic for the air filter, here is the new one:

The air filter is inside that black box to the right of the actual engine. Just pop those silver clips off that hold the two pieces together, and open the box up and swap out the filters.
