Does this replace the factory filter directly?

Yes — this filter drops into your existing air box without any modification or additional hardware needed. Standard replacement procedure applies.

How often should I replace it?

That depends on your driving environment and air quality. Check the filter element every 15,000 miles; replace when it shows visible dirt buildup or restriction.

Will this affect my engine's warranty?

Air filter replacement is routine maintenance and doesn't void any engine warranty. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase in case you need service records.
