Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!

In this video, we're going to show you how to service the air filter. This is a 2009 Torrent GTP it has a 3.6-liter V6. It should be about the same procedure for the 3.4-liter as well. You'll need no tools for this.

You want to open up the hood by pulling the hood release lever. Lift up the hood a little bit and release the safety latch underneath by pushing up on that lever there. The hood raises. There are two clips, you can see one there and there's one a little further back. Lift up on the top of the box on the side closer to the engine. Pulls kind of towards the engine and up. Then you're just going to flex the hose, pull it back, and then pull it up. You can remove the air filter. Pretty briefly, it's out.

To put the new one in, it's just a reverse of the procedure. Put the air filter in. There is a tab on the engine side that makes sure you line it up correctly. Make sure it's seated down there correctly on all 4 sides. Then you push the air box down in the top end. You'll want to make sure that the tabs on the outside get lined up. Lift up on the inside of it, and force the tabs down and in on the outside. Kind of go diagonally down and then make sure that the clips are not getting caught. Once it's all together correctly, it should push right down easily and the clips should go on easily.
