Do not remove the air cleaner or its hoses unless the repair needs them off. Do not start the engine with the air induction system removed while anyone is near the engine compartment. The warning says a backfire can cause serious injury.
No housing steps are printed, so this page does not invent a clamp or a cover sequence.
The cabin filter interval is not this interval.
Symptoms
The chart column for 30,000 miles or 3 years, and the later matching columns, is reached.
The van is used in dust or off road, which adds an inspection at every oil change.
Diagnosis
The replace marks are every 30,000 miles through 150,000, not the cabin filter's 20,000-mile spacing.
Dusty or off-road use adds an inspection at the oil-change indicator. It does not replace the chart.

Steps
01Read the replacement columns
30,000 miles or 3 years, then 60,000 or 6 years, 90,000 or 9 years, 120,000 or 12 years, and 150,000 or 15 years.
02Inspect sooner in dust
The every-oil-change list says to inspect the engine air cleaner in dusty or off-road conditions.
03Leave the housing sequence in the service information
This owner's manual does not print the cover steps. Do not start the engine with the air cleaner removed.
Notes
The cabin filter procedure is printed and is a different part. It is on the cabin air filter guide.
No air-box diagram is drawn, because the text does not describe the housing.
Common mistakes
Using the cabin-filter mileage on the engine filter.
Starting the engine with the air cleaner removed.
