The Chevrolet Malibu Air Filter Box is the first line of defense for the engine by screening the massive volumes of intake air before it mixes with fuel. The sturdy plastic housing is located in front of the throttle body, sealing the pleated paper filter in an aerodynamically shaped chamber. As the car speeds up, incoming air is directed through narrow inlets, is forced to change direction within the Air Filter Box, and this sudden turn causes heavier particles of dirt to fall away while the filter media traps the finer dust so only clean oxygen is allowed to pass to the cylinders. Over the course of several years, Chevrolet Malibu mid-size sedans have had two primary layouts. Earlier models featured a rectangular Air Filter Box mounted low on the driver side fender, opened by removing metal clips. Later versions featured a more compact square Air Filter Box mounted on top of the engine with quick-release screws to hasten changing of filters. Both styles share the purpose of allowing as much air as possible to flow without allowing grit to carve up pistons or clog up oil passages, but the later design allows for better noise reduction and ease of service. Keeping the Air Filter Box intact and the element fresh maintains mileage, throttle response, and the long-term reliability of every Chevrolet Malibu engine.
