Filter Replacement

It should be replaced when necessary and should not be washed.

You can clean the filter when inspecting the air cleaner element.

Clean the filter with compressed air.

1. Remove the air cleaner cover.

2. Unlock by turning the lock lever downward.

3. Pull out the air cleaner filter to replace it.

4. Secure the cover by reversing the order.

Replace the filter in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule.

If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the recommended intervals. (Refer to "Severe Duty Maintenance Conditions" in this chapter.)

WARNING - Air filter maintenance

  • Do not drive with the air cleaner removed; this will cause excessive engine wear.
  • When removing the air cleaner filter element, be careful not to allow dirt or debris to enter the air intake, as this may cause damage.
