I don't agree, they use more plastic and packages to sell these accessories separately opposed to using the same box the phone was sold in. It is counterintuitive in my opinion.

Put new filter ordered from amazon for 20 dollars Mann filter took 15 minutes it’s very easy. I live in LA not to many dirt roads around here. I suggest everybody should check and replace air filter no way it can go 50k miles.


how did you remove airbox cover? I broke small plastic hose that goes under intake. I put that hose back but not sealed anymore, I am not sure It will affect engine since no check engine light came on
