First-time viewer here! This is exactly what I'm talking about! There's zero fat in this video, just useful information. My man even ends the video with a helpful tip! In fact, there's more fat in my comment than in his captions . He would've just hit the like button and subscribed. As shall I.

Thank you so very much for posting this video! I thought my A/C was breaking down! As soon as I pulled the air filter, a tornado came out from the air vents 😝. I really appreciate this video! Blessings 😇

All horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter will have downward air flow.

Thank you for saying that the airflow arrow needs to point down.

Could you do the fuel filter replacement ?

Very useful video. However no one addresses this questions. Does the inside cabin air go through the filter when the button is set on recycle? Or does it onli filter the outside air?

I check mine and the filter was upsidedown. The airflow narrow pointing upwards... I cleaned it ver well because I don't a new obe at hand and put it back with airflow narrow instruction pinting down... Doea it it really make any difference?

Glad I got around to doing this. My filter looked terrible and had a pound of debris in it. Yuck.

Man the Up label probably screws over a lot of people. Should have just put air flow.
