Replace the Air Filter on a Chevrolet Camaro

Replacing the air filter on a v6 and v8 Camaros is a very easy job. This how-to guide lists common filter part numbers for replacement and upgrades.

The Camaro LT, LS, and SS all use very similar air intake boxes and share the same filter sizes.

There are a lot of aftermarket options for upgrading the intake on your Camaro, but some feel it's better to leave well enough alone. If your just replacing the filter at the scheduled interval or upgrading to a high flow filter, this is the perfect guide for you.

Once released, open the box a few degrees like a clam shell, then pull slightly away from the centerline of the car to disengage the inner hinge.

Check The Filter For Dirt

5

If you're just checking for dirt to see if it's time to replace the filter, visually inspect the filter to see how dirty it is. Slight discoloration is ok, however if there is a debris or large amounts of dirt visible in the filter, replace it.

This one looks great after 30k miles.
