Subaru Ascent Cabin Air Filter Change

How to change the cabin air filter for the Subaru Ascent. A flat head screwdriver can be helpful but no tools are really needed.

DOUBLE CHECK the filter number as it may vary by the year of your Ascent.

I am using the MicroGard 4113HP (it is the hepa filter version).

You so much as a person who doesn’t know much about cars and how to do things I’m so stoked because I was able to change my own in cabin air filter based on this video thank you you’re awesome! Anybody out there who doesn’t think they can do this trust me I was able to do it. I got it all back together and it took me literally probably five minutes maybe six because I didn’t know what I was doing! Thank you again so much.

Make sure you look closely inside, if all the models are the same, the fan should be at the bottom of the tray. Therefore make sure the arrow is facing up. If not the fan speed and force will be low.

Thank you so much. This helped Mr change my own filter that I have been asking my husband for months to do

And the stinking dealership wants 85$ to do that while it is in for a recall 😂

Subaru at the Roseville Automall in CA wanted $75 for 3 min worth of work. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Biggest scam in the auto industry. Should be a free service minus the cost of the filter.

I dont understand the airflow arrow down versus the arrow on the cover shows points up?
