For engine air filter, pull the covers off the top of the engine. You'll see both air intake boxes on top of the engine. Use a torx star bit to remove the 8 or so screws on each box. Open and replace filter.

For cabin filter, not sure but it's probably under the glove box like on most other models.

The charcoal filter is under the dash.

thanks guys. appreciate the input. got both the engine air filter and cabin filter done. now i need the location of the charcoal filter.
thanks

p.s. the engine air filter on a 2004 cl600 pull up on top of plastic cover. the very top piece of the cover. be careful, it's thin plastic. then access filters with torque screws on top of engine cover. cabin filter open glove compartment. take out light and disconnect, remove two screws on top of box recessed near light, remove 2 screws under rubber grommets on bottom of box. remove box, open clip on air filter housing in rear of glove box and replace. both filter jobs super easy once you know how. total about 20 minutes each job.

now i need the location and instructions for the charcoal filter.
