We haven't had the chance to create that tech article yet.

The fill plug is located near the power steering rack. It is accessed using a special tool 24 4 240 (the tool is a T55 Torx socket with a shroud).

I would grab a repair manual. It will have the procedure, special tools and torque specs.

Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799.

Hi Nick
I was thinking about replacing the original air cleaner filter and intake system out and putting a K&N57A-6033 air induction system in . My question is , is it worth while doing this and will it increase Horse power , and give better fuel mileage ?
