How much does an engine air filter cost?
I think it is time for me to change the filters in my car. I haven't changed an engine air filter before, how much do they cost?

Changing your engine air filter is one of the cheapest and easiest car DIY projects you can take on. A new filter can be between $20-$40. You can find them online, in big box stores, and at auto part stores.
You will know its time for a filter change when:
- Your check engine light comes on
- Your car starts running a little bumpy
- You lose fuel economy
Once you have your new engine filter, just follow these steps:
- Locate the engine air intake system: Each car is different, so check your user manual for its location
- Open the airbox: It will be a large cylinder or square-shaped box near the front of the car
- Take the old filter out
- Put the new filter in
- Put everything back together
Check your engine filter as part of your
basic car maintenance
to keep your engine running smoothly. Now that you are a pro at maintaining your car, you can become a
