Pull the hood release handle located in the area of the left foot. (Page 250 - 2013 Ridgeline Owner's Manual)

Raise the hood by lifting the hood latch located above the "H" on the front grill. (Page 250 - 2013 Ridgeline Owner's Manual)

Secure the hood by placing the support rod in one of the two designated holes in the hood with arrows pointing to them. Make absolutely sure the hood is secure. (Page 250 - 2013 Ridgeline Owner's Manual)

Loosen the four phillips screws from the air box lid. The screws are captive and do not come out of the air box lid. A screw driver with a shaft length of 16" will work great for the screw closest to the fender.


Lift the air box lid and remove the air filter.

Reassemble in reverse order. Tighten the four phillips screws to snug. There is not a readily available torque specification for these screws.
