Using your DC Sports air filter is easy. First, find the old air filter in your vehicle's intake system and remove it. Then, take your new DC Sports air filter and align the urethane base flange with the intake tubing. Use the included clamp to secure it tightly. When it comes to maintenance, check the filter regularly, about every few months or more often if you drive in dusty conditions. If it looks dirty, you can clean it with a filter cleaning kit. Just follow the kit's instructions. Keep in mind that you should always let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. Also, make sure to store the filter in a clean, dry place when not in use.
