Learn how to fix the problem by replacing the engine air filter of your Mitsubishi Outlander. This guide provides instructions on replacing the air filter on a Mitsubishi Outlander.
What you will need
- Replacement engine air filter

Procedure
- Park the vehicle on level ground. Engage the parking brakes and let the engine cool.

- Remove the two plastic retainers and remove the air intake hose.
- Remove the 10mm bolt to the right of the air filter housing.
- Disconnect the mass airflow sensor.
