what's going on guys this is gonna be a quick and dirty video on how to change an air filter in a 2001 to 2005 Civic so you got a stock airbox right here it takes there goes all the way up through here and this is where air filter is right here by the way what you're going to need to use is eight millimeter socket take all these off have all that done screwed here all the three in the front one in the back there and two in the back here in one in the middle that one does have to come off we can go ahead and remove this and that's what your air filter looks like right there if the stock one it's just a paper air filter looks pretty clean but we're gonna swap it out with a canon filter so what we're gonna do is simply just remove this that's off before you put your canon filter back on you should clean up this area in here you don't be sucking dirty into your engine so as it looks it looks pretty clean so that looks pretty clean but you know what it's always good to check so let's just take a look in here and what the hell is that I look at that I found a socket see everyone says you don't need to clean and there a lot of other you to be skipping that but look at this always clean cuz I just found that in there look there's more stuff in there too let's see what we've got what the hell is this that dirty old glove in there what the like I said another youtubers they don't give you the good information to clean this out so yeah you guys just subscribe to me just because I'm giving you guys this good information here clean this out look what I found and look I think there's something else in here too look at this this peanut butter in there there you go so there's some good valuable life lessons right there I always clean your air filters to see what's in there alright and here is the canon air filter it is a bit more flimsy that is normal it's already been cleaned and sprayed um I already did it so I should have put that on video and how to do that but I did not so just look on YouTube on how to clean a spray you're just gonna place it in there and just spit it in just like a puzzle piece there it is the Canon filters on there everything's looking good you got our old filter here and we're just gonna put this top right back on here take one more last look before I put it on that's what the K&N filter looks like that's how your should look when it's on there fit in there perfectly and we're gonna put this right back on here and we're gonna bolt everything in so as you can see it's a fairly simple process it doesn't take a lot of work and anyways that's pretty much it so this video helped you in any way at all if you're clueless and you know not too great with cars that mean you're just trying to learn yeah if it helped give me a like subscribe or comment on what I could've did better on or comment on what you liked I just like making these videos it's fun and I don't know a lot about cars so I think making these how-to videos for coming from someone who doesn't know a lot about this stuff it it really helps anyways so that's pretty much it have a great day
