How to Locate and Replace the Air Filter on an Acura TL?

The air filter is located inside a housing at the left (driver's) side of the engine compartment under a cover. To remove the air filter, disconnect the throttle cable or wiring harness from the air filter housing cover, remove the screws securing the two halves of the air filter housing together, then separate the cover halves and remove the air 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.

Acura TL Air Filter

The Acura TL Air Filter protects the engine by filtering incoming air so that only clean oxygen reaches the combustion chambers to maintain power and mileage. As every Acura driver drives, the engine sucks in nearly 10,000 gallons of air per gallon of gasoline, and dust, sand, leaves, not to mention exhaust particles ride along. The Air Filter will trap particles as small as five microns, which keeps debris from scuffing cylinders or plugging up sensors. However, once the paper pores are filled in, airflow is reduced and the TL may feel sluggish while fuel consumption may climb. Routine Air Filter replacement returns unrestricted breathing in minutes by just popping a couple of clips on the air box and seating the new panel securely so there are no unfiltered gaps. Through the TL generations, two broad Air Filter layouts approach industry trends: a round element that was once applied with carburetors and a flat rectangular panel as applied with modern fuel injection, being the style found on current Acura models. The round type is applied around a carburetor throat while the panel type is mounted remotely from the carburetor throat and is applied to feed the throttle body through a duct, which delivers smoother flow and quieter intake sounds. Keeping an Acura TL Air Filter fresh is an investment in performance that lasts, solid economy, and reliable engine life.
