No instructions for replacing Air Filter?

[stillageek]

So I ordered a K&N filter for the 5. Amazon.coms price is low and I got next day shipping...cause is shipped locally. Anyways I cracked open the manual to find instructions. Thumbing and thumbing I was shocked to see there were none! Wow. So I popped the hood and scratched my head. It wasn't hard at all, but I was surprised at the lack of instructions.

I guess a lack of OM maintenance instructions = more $$$ in Mazda service depts.

I guess Mazda figures if you can't figure it out without the manual perhaps they need to take care of it.

Hope this helps..... this site is pretty good with several how_to's for the "5"......

1. Open Hood

2. Remove battery cover.

3. Remove air snorkel assembly that goes to battery box. There is one screw type fastener on the right side that should be removed first.

4. Undo the 4 flip-clips on the airbox below.

5. Lift lid and slide air filter out.

If you can't do it, you shouldn't own a Mazda... haha much like Ferrari owners supposedly have to go through some ropes... so do we.... especially ex or current Rotary owners. Please post some impressions on performance and mileage pre/post K&N. I haven't heard any real feedback yet, and will be doing it soon myself.
