When to Inspect the Engine
Air Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle is equipped with an air filter restriction
indicator, it lets you know when the engine air cleaner/
filter needs to be replaced. On vehicles with a restriction
indicator, you should inspect the air filter restriction
indicator at every oil change and replace the engine
air cleaner/filter when the indicator tells you to.

See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12
for the location of the
engine air cleaner/filter
and the air filter restriction
indicator, if equipped.
On vehicles without an air filter restriction indicator,
inspect the air cleaner/filter at the Maintenance II
intervals and replace it at the first oil change
after each 50,000 mile (83 000 km) interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 for more
information. If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions,
inspect the filter at each engine oil change.
