Where is the air filter located and how do you remove and replace it on Saturn LS?

The air filter is located inside a housing on the right (passenger's) side of the engine compartment. To remove it, loosen the clamp securing the inlet tube to the air filter cover, release the clamps that hold the two halves of the air cleaner housing together, then separate the cover halves and lift out the air filter element by pulling the cover out of the way. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element; if it is dirty, replace it, but if it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front with compressed air. Since it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled, and if it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily, it should be discarded and replaced. While the cover is off, take care not to drop anything into the housing. Wipe out the inside of the air cleaner housing, then place the new filter into the housing, ensuring it seats properly. Finally, reinstall the housing in the reverse order of removal.

Saturn LS Air Filter

The Air Filter in Saturn LS plays an important part in the overall protective mechanism of the engine as it holds all the dirt and other debris which are potentially capable of causing harm to the engine. While the Saturn LS Air Filter is filled with contaminants, it may hinder the rate of air flow hence reduced performance and fuel efficiency. This is very important because the air filter needs to be replaced from time to time in order for the engine to be in good condition. Saturn LS vehicles primarily incorporate simple paper type of media with pleated structure, which is capable of trapping particles as small as 5 microns. These filters are intended to enable enough air passage whilst offering the necessary level of filtration. Besides, there are performance air filters constructed of cotton gauze or synthetic material with increased air flow and possibly, longer change interval of up to 50 000 miles. The main difference between them is the construction and filter ability and more specifically, performance filters permit higher rates of airflow with no compromise on dirt trapping.

Each OEM Saturn LS Air Filter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
