How to replace Engine air filter?
Is it like this video? Or do I have to remove the plastic covers at the side too? Because there are a few clips I cannot get off .... I do not want to damage the covers...

Yes, it's a pretty straight forward task. Just pop the engine cover off and undo the snaps that hold the engine air filter covers on, I believe it's like 3-4 for each side, and pop them off, and there you go.
That's how I do it on my '13, but I'm not sure if it's that much different on your '07.

Both my air filters were replaced less than 1 year and 6k miles ago. Took both old ones out and despite being okay from the outside I saw fine dust caught between the pleats when they were separated. Replaced them both for under $25. I think I'm going to check them every 5k and possible replace on a yearly basis due to these findings. Don't think the car was particularly driven in a dusty environment (LA area). Slightly odd that they were so dirty since the manual says check/replace every 24-36k miles.
