Buy the filter. Remove the screw highlighted in the front and find the back ones. Lift off cover and remove the old filter, reverse procedure to install.

Air Cleaner Element Replacement NOTE: Do not use compressed air to clean the air cleaner element. 1. Open the air cleaner housing cover (A) and remove the clamps (B). 2. Remove the air cleaner (C) from the air cleaner housing (D). 3. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal. There you go.

Hello, I'm Danny
No, The TL base model and the Type S air filters are different. I've attached the pictures below with the part numbers from AutoZone parts stores. The Fram CA8475 is for a TL base model and Fram CA9502 is for a Type S. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
