*Cabin Air Filter is sold* 
Авто/Мото
Ive never heard of a cabin filter until I went for an oil change and I felt the mechanics were tryna up sell me on that. They showed me what it was and it looked very dusty and dirty. So I replaced it. But I was still curious as to what it was and if I spent money on something that didn’t matter. But your video proves otherwise and now I’m glad I changed it. Thank you.
Cabin air filters are very important to change at regular intervals. That said, many mechanics try to upsell them unnecessarily. A couple of years ago, I went off on a mechanic who tried to upsell me a cabin air filter, because a)he hadn't actually looked at it to see whether or not it needed changing and b) I had literally replaced the cabin air filter in the car myself the day before dropping off the car with that mechanic for an unrelated repair. Therefore, I knew it did not require replacing at that time.
Thank you so much for this . AC worked 95 percent better in an instant
Changed my air and cabin filters today.
Changed our today.
I'm surprised that you didn't talk about air flow direction etc.!
I bought a volswagen jetta se 2014 about a month ago with 145,050 miles 2 weeks later I when to do the oil change should I replaced my cabin air filter to make sure is clean
Is the cabin filter good for airflow through your ac and heat vents? Also for breathing in clean air from cars?
I learned about a cabin filter just a few months ago and replaced it the other day .. my AC stopped working over a year ago though so it sucks i learned this so late
You brought up a lotta good price I was looking to see if it was important to change what they call the cabin filter inside my car. My husband just bought one for $55 for a 2001 Grand Prix and my brother says you don’t need one but then when I get in the car I sneeze every time I get inside any car I sneeze and I don’t pretty much sneeze anywhere else anyways, thanks for your video and your information talking about. What are you doing where you came from
My wix literally only has an arrow how frustrating. Does this arrow refer to air flow direction or orientation? Like how hard is this to add? Wix is only one I’ve seen with only the arrow Leavjng me guessing
Question! My vehicles cabin filter is inside behind the glove box. Does it still filter in recirculated mode? Thx!
MrDave 777 yes it does. The filter is always positioned exactly before the blower. And the recirculation flap is before the filter. So the cabin air filter will filter both fresh air mode and recirculation mode. In my city is very polluted, never in my life I put my car in fresh air mode. Always in recirculation mode. Even that, it looks filthy after a year.
I was always curious about those "filters." I guess I'll stick with the Dooxi "air filter." :-)
I have a 2002 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 and it has 2 cabin air filters that are under the glove box. I have to lower down the plastic cover under the glove box to get access to it. I use the FRAM FreshBreeze and the box says to change every 12,000 miles.I make labels of mileage numbers when time for things to be done. I have labels off to the side of my odometer for Oil Change, Cabin Air Filter, and Tire Rotation. Oil every 3,500 miles, Tire Rotation and Air filter every 7,000 miles (every other oil change), and Cabin Air Filters every 12,000 miles. Having the sticker labels on the dash (NOT covering up anything) allows me to see the mileage on my truck and glance over to the labels to know WHEN it's getting close to needing done to plan my upcoming weekend work.One final note about Cabin Air Filters. They have a FLOW indicator. I use a sharpie and mark an arrow on the edge and also mark the date on the edge so 1) I know I am installing them with the correct flow and 2) I know the exact date I last changed them. If I drive a lot then 12,000 miles racks up fast. If not, it could take a few months. Also normally when I pull out my Cabin Air filters lots of leaves, pine needles, and other debris falls out. I use a shop vac to suck out the debris before installing the new filters.Thanks Clifford for the great videos.... Keep them coming my friend !!!
I bought my 2007 escape used and I just found out after I drove it for awhile that it doesn't have a cabin air filter what kind of damage will it cause ac system
not a thing. its build whitout it.
Yea it does hahahaha
Strange it seems that cabin air filters have an arrow pointing up and the word UP . In thinking to install it this way and later being told by WIX . The arrow needs to point towards " air flow " !? Idiocracy , I don't care which way " air flow " is !!! Put an arrow pointing UP or an arrow pointing DOWN and that is the way , I will install it !!!
For the in cabin air filters, would a Home AC type filter in the right size work just as well or better for cheaper, or do we have to go with a cabin filter specifically for cars? (Assuming a compatible size exists)
Everyone knows they need to change their home filter once in a while, so I was thinking maybe that means those companies need to innovate more to beat their competition. Versus the OEM may not be using the best media in their filters. Thoughts?
Don’t be cheap, just buy a cabin air filter for like $25 bucks and u need to replace them yearly its cosy affective
