How to remove and replace the air filter in a Kia Spectra?

The air filter is located inside a housing within the engine compartment. To remove it, loosen the clamp securing the inlet tube to the air filter cover, remove the screws or clips securing the two halves of the air filter housing together, then remove the cover halves and remove the air filter element. If the filter housing cover is secured by clips instead of screws, release the clips, then pull the cover out of the way and lift out the filter element. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. While the cover is off, be careful not to drop anything down into the housing. Never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed. Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Wipe out the inside of the air cleaner housing. Place the new filter into the air cleaner housing, making sure it seats properly. Installation of the housing is the reverse of removal.
