Seems like this forum is mostly artsy/crafty stuff and home improvement, but I found this awesome video this weekend and figured I'd post it.

I wanted to change the air filter in my car, since it hadn't been done in a while and I've been taking a more active interest in my gas mileage. I went to Napa and bought a new one, and realized I didn't really know how/where it was supposed to go. There was nothing in the manual except the part number for the filter, so I turned to my old friend google. The first six howto links I found essentially just said:

1. Remove old filter
2. Clean airbox
3. Put new filter in

Eventually I came across this video: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-change-your-air-filter which has a rather clever method of doing things and gives a nicely detailed step-by-step. It's in the Queen's English, but all you need to know is that bonnet = hood and everything else translates pretty easily.

Anyhow, this is probably pretty basic stuff for anyone with the gumption to even bother trying it on their own, but I never would have thought of using compressed air to clean it out. It worked like a charm.
