    Google make and model of car and start reading about it. Look for the skimatic of the engine. This should help you

    The air filter will be located inside the Air Cleaner Housing Assembly (black box), which is connected, via the intate air duct, to the throttle body. Use an 8mm nutdriver to remove the screws securing the Air Cleaner Housing Assembly. Clean the box inside of all dirt and wipe-down with a damp rag--nothing else.

    The Climate Control Air Filter (Cabin Air Filter) is likely located under the air vent cover on the passenger's side. Open hood, remove clips, lift cowling, and replace filter.

    I knew I could count on you to answers my question. I was praying I would get an answer from you. Do you know about the Fuel tank air filter? This is what my maintenance log says to do at the 36,000 miles.

    Do you mean the fuel filter? It looks like your fuel pump has an attached strainer, which likely doesn't require servicing.

    Maybe that's what they mean. In the book it says the Fuel tank air filter. I've only known about the fule filter.

    Sorry, I'm not sure what they are referring to.

    I think I'm going to call the dealership and see if its just the fuel filter.
