I'm a new widow. Never took care of a car in my long married life. The dealer wanted to charge me $125 to change the filter. They brought out the old one to show me. My husband always said most dealers rip u off so I said no, went on Amazon & found one w good reviews, went on Youtube and found you. Thank you!! Followed your instructions stopping the video at every new point and got it all done in 15 mins. I was so proud of myself. I know my husband must be too. Again, thank you for posting this. It was easy enough for this 69 yr old grannie to understand and accomplish w your help.

the fact that you added the aftermarket cabin filter placement make this video an A+++

A normal person (no hype/promotion/tidied hair) providing a succinct, factual description of where and how to change cabin air filter. Thank you

May God bless you and all others who share their knowledge and expertise with the rest of us on youtube.

Thanks very much for the tip on the air flow arrow(s) pointing downward on an aftermarket filter. I pulled out an OEM filter, but installed an aftermarket filter, so the different labeling of the "up" arrows on the OEM and the "down" arrows on the aftermarket one confused me. You're the only wizard out of four videos I watched who explained that and it was critical in helping me get it right. Great job!

[nembach]

A+. It could not have been any clearer than this video. Thanks

[flintr]

Perfect video. Someone else already said it, but the comment about non-OEM arrow direction being backwards was so helpful!

[beverlyrichardson]

The best and clearest video I have watched! thank you!

[cemilkoc]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! Initially, I made a mistake while installing the filter because the aftermarket filter indicated that the airflow arrow should point upwards. However, I soon realized that something wasn't right. That's when I stumbled upon your helpful video, which clarified the correct installation method. It's truly awesome!!! 🎉🎉

I wasn’t sure if you were right about the arrow pointing down for airflow on aftermarket but you are. Thank you

Great video! Clear video and great explanation! Keep up the good work!

[VanGranico]

Excellent Video 👍🏼 One handed too was very impressive

For the people having the issue where the glovebox doesn’t close/latch back up after reinstalling the filter, make sure the bottom hinges grip the inside where they are supposed to go, you don’t just insert the hinges into the hole. Look down there and have it grip so it’s they’re over and under the latches on the inside of the glovebox where it’s supposed to go… hope that helps someone…

I was just quoted 115 to replace at next visit, lol, no. Thank you for your video.
