Thank you so much for this video! 👍 I just got my car out of the shop. I got some stuff fixed but they gave a ton of extra things that needs to be fixed and this was included on that list and also the regular air filter. But I got home starting googling some things and came across your video. I’m a female and after watching your video I most certainly believe I can do this myself and I am because the prices of work they’re telling me that needs to be done is ridiculous! And I know prices that they are trying to charge me is overpriced. I hear/heard my dad talk about these kind of things and explained how simple it is to change. So I will be changing this myself. I’m a fast learner and can do anything if shown before. My dad would have changed it for me but he’s getting older now and are experiencing problems with his hands so I’m going to be a big girl and learn how to do some of these simple things myself to save myself some money but not only that I can have the knowledge myself…. So thank you…again! 😊
Thank you! You explained how to change the filter with the exact details I needed. I felt so accomplished after changing it on my own. Might go reward myself with a beer….. I get it now lol
That is a great job and your attention to detail and communication makes it easy to follow your teaching so thank you very much for making this video. Katy, Tx. JM
Use the ACDelco cabin air filter as it comes with activated carbon at half the price. The activated carbon absorbs organic orders from cow pens, goats, sheep etc as the smell is fermenting manure, sulfide compounds or just basic foul smell stuff if the windows are up. It is common for a tech to remove your watch, ring, keys and wallet before going inside a customers vehicle. Also, common tools are a flat blade pocket screwdriver and a hose removal tool. This tool is “S” shaped on the end and comes to a dull point. It is one helpful in removing electrical connectors and plastic clips. This job pays 0.2ths of an hour, so roughly 7 minutes or less. A quality filter is marked with air flow so this means the last tech could install it upside down. Turn ignition on, blower on high and check the direction air is pulled. Many vehicle, like Fords for decades had a place for one but is empty. Cutting maybe required as the all seam to be different. Check “Rock Auto” for make, year, model to see if they are sold in the “HVAC” section cabin air filter section. Some come with new cover, screws and instructions while others do not. Electrical connectors are not to come apart, so they have a clip as more important connectors has connection positive assurance clips that lock under removal clip. Hope this helps others.

I do mine every 12 months. You should do it approximately every 15k miles. If it starts to clog up you'll notice reduced airflow from your vents. I find it to be a small cost to help clean the air I breathe in the car 🙂
@@HubersRanch I wouldn't need a car with a cabin air filter if I was superman now would I. And if filming is your excuse. Then edit it and make it not so long and drawn out.
