Note: This procedure is the same for a 1992-1995 Honda Civic CX, DX, or Si
Tools Needed: 8mm Socket Wrench or a Phillips Head Screw Driver
Step One:
Open up your hood and make sure you secure the hood post in it’s proper place.
Step Two:
Use an 8mm Socket Wrench or a Phillips head screw driver to undo all 4 screws holding down the top of the airbox. I would use the 8mm Socket Wrench because it will not strip the head of the screw as easily as a Phillips head screw driver. But if you don’t have a 8mm socket wrench then a Phillips head screw driver will do just fine with some do care.
Step Three:
Make sure all the screws are totally unscrewed from the bottom part of the airbox. Then grab the top of the airbox and lift it up, if you are having trouble check the screws again but this should lift up with very little effort.
Step Four:
Lift out the air filter and replace if needed. Honda recommends to replace every 48,000Km or sooner under severe driving conditions, like driving on dusty roads or near construction sites.
Step Five:
Once you put the new air filter in it’s place align the top part of the airbox with the bottom half and tighten all the screws. DO NOT over tighten or damage to the airbox could occurre.
Step Six:
Make sure you have no tools left in the engine compartment and your done.
