It's been a while since I've had the air filter replaced so I want to purchase one and replace it myself. Looked in the manual and it doesn't include this maintenance. How do I go about replacing the air filter and what type/size of filter do I use? Thanks.

Just go to an auto parts store and find out your part number from the books in the filter area. There are books with applications for each brand of filter they stock.
To replace the filter, find the black box just behind the passenger's side headlight and pull back the two clips on the top. They hold closed a hindged door. Under the door, you can touch the air filter. Just grab it and pull it straight up. The new filter goes in the same way. It only fits one way. Snap the two clips back on the door and you're done.

go to advanced auto and ask them to look it up for you. Im sure if you ask them where it is or how to install it theyll just do it for you.....they usually replace wiper blades for you as a courtesey.

Come on - the guy is not blind and minus both his hands or arms. He said he wants to replace it himself.
Also, I wouldn't let someone from Advanced Auto Supply touch my engine.
