Replacing your own air filter is both easy and cost effective. By following this guide you can have a new filter installed in as little as 10 minutes.

Step-by-step instructions

Locate the air filter housing unit below the glove box.
Open housing unit to reach air filter by locating the three clips, one on the rear of the box and the two on the front.
Open the rear clip first by applying an outward and downward force. Repeat process for the front clips.

Filter lays in a pair of guide rails for easy removal and replacement.
Pinch base of filter with thumb.
Once the filter is pinched it can easily be pulled out by the guide rails with moderate force.

Replace the old filter with the new filter.
Reassemble the air filter by following the guide in reverse. On the side of the filter, there should be writing telling which direction the air flow goes in for putting it back in right way up. The air should be flowing into the foot well so you want the arrows pointing down.
