I believe aem and injet(SP?) offers one for the crz and last I looked the air box looked very similar between the two cars.

I wished kn made a caben filter too.

TO get to the cabin filter just empty out your glove gox, thenpull it down so it swings towards the floor and push the sides in. Once it pops down you will see a rectangle tray, push in the sides and that pops out to show the ac filter. I cant remember the model, but i just take it inside with me to autozone to buy one the same size.

did some research and few people said you shouldnt do it
others said to do it if it gets contaminated or every 100k

and the dealer told her the car needs it and they wanna charge her 100

theyre stupid and expensive

What I do is suck out all of the fluid in the reservoir and replace it with new. Then, start the car and turn the steering wheel all the way in either direction; several times. Then, suck out all of the fluid in the reservoir again. Finally, fill it up with new fluid.


Also, I use synthetic transmission fluid, instead of power steering fluid. Some folks tell you not to but I've done this on at least 8 vehicles in the last 10 years;with no problems. I feel your power steering pump will last longer and it seems to steer easier witn the synthetic ATF.

nice !! that sounds easy

been doing research and found few diff methods

the most common one is
(need two people)
get rid of the old fluid in the reservoir and replace it with the new one, disconnect the return hose and put it in a container, have somebody turn on the car and and move the wheel from stop to stop while someone else keeps filing the reservoir with new ATF
once the the return hose is throwing the clean fluid out, turn off the car and fill the reservoir tank till its full (where marked)

peole say if the car is off and i just turn the wheel then air could get trapped inside.... no good
is this true?


i like firthonda's way where i dont have to disconnect the hose
i guess ill try that

just got a little ?
is it really a big risk of air getting trapped inside the reserivoir?
