Hi,
First of all, I just want to mention that I did do a search on both on this site, and while it did yield results, they are several years old, so I am hoping to get some more recent feedback.
As my technically and mechanically minded nine-year-old daughter wants to work more on the car, I did some research into some easy replacement DIY jobs (since I am hardly mechanical) and came across the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. Looks like both are something a monkey can do (hence, I should be able to do it, maybe taking an hour in the process, though my daughter can probably do it in 30 seconds (she fixed a watch for my Grandma yesterday but taking it apart, and previously I had her install bluetooth kits in my in my other as well as Blackberry screens and keyboards, as well as screens for laptops, not to mention hide out my dashcam cables in the car's headliner/weatherstripping. As such the filter should be no problem for her and she wants to do it.
So next step is...what kind of filters would you recommend (recent input would be most helpful since brands and makes always change). I would be looking to buy it locally at a retail store, not order online since I am hoping to pick them up on the way home today. I would prefer not to buy them from Acura unless there was a compelling reason to do so.
Sure, I can go into a parts store and buy whatever, but I highly respect the technical competency here, and your input would go a long way to helping me select a brand and model that works well.
Thanks in advance
