If you look closely through the front window, you will notice a small pin needle hole already there. It's on the top right of the square. You can use that hole to refill it.
For those that don't want to attempt this and may have a club membership... Sam's Club has them for $7.95 for a 5 pack ($1.59ea) 1/6/19. The GAIN detergent scent is my favorite. Load up like I do, get 3 packets.
Absolute GENIUS!!! Thank you! I'm am always one who's looking to save money. And you, my friend, have helped greatly. At the current moment I have these handy things attached to room fans and air movers to help kill the scent after the subpump in our carpeted, finished 2,000 sq ft. basement went out and flooded the whole thing. But thankfully only up to my ankles We have finally got all the water up and will be cleaning it tomorrow but still there is THAT smell.... and there is NO being nose blind to this, lol. The smell was beginning to permeate thru the rest of our 6,500 sq ft. home. Having invested in these air fresheners wasn't cheap for this penny pincher but it had to be done. I hated knowing how quickly they would get used up but I was desperate. So thank you a thousand times over as you can already guess I'll be refilling those puppies again and again.
To avoid leaking, buy the car fresheners that have a tubular sponge, such as the Tasotti brand. Just take it out, refill it, and then put the sponge back on.
Coffee beans in a jar with a vented lid. Or some essential oil whatever you like on some felt lasts long. I keep in a jar in one if the unused cup holders in my Jeep.
The same for Brees that you buy to spray on your furniture just use that in a syringe and put it in there and that shouldn't be too heavy to evaporate in the
Skip first 3 minutes of bla-bla. Real thing starts at 3. Great idea. Thanks! I recommend Now foods essential oils. They are cheap but good. Easy to find.
Also, if you want it to function like the original Febreze, you could get a spray bottle of Febreze and use that as the liquid, or in combination with the oil, probably.
But if febreze has the molecule to trap odors, then you just refilling with oils without the molecule, you are simply masking the odor. Why not just spray under arm deodorant
If your looking for that same scent just in a oil type of form I would try to get “Blunt affects” or “Scent Bomb “ I believe they have something very similar to that
Ty for the tip but as I see, the oil leaks from the hole a little bit and it drips onto my AC. Do you think how can I prevent it? Should I just stick a small tape at back?
If you want the real protip for this, although it might be tight space wise, you could put a little dollop of silicone rtv gasket maker over the area. This would seal it up nicely and serve as a self healing multi injection site for future refills.
Chris Oltman inject from the plastic upper front and use combination of water and waterbased essential oil..i've already done this for one year nothing happened
He acknowledged that Febreze has special molecules that entrap odors, then went on to tell viewers how to REPLACE those molecules with something completely ineffective both as an anti-odor, and as a fragrance (it won't smell of anything). I want my 4 minutes back. The most useless video I've seen on RUclips this month.
You filled it too much! Put the hole as close to the top as possible & only fill it half way! My first try leaked because I put the hole in the middle! Haven't leaked since
i did this with a needle and sqeezed the plastic liquid holder to suck up the new liquid. then i cut a small length of rubberband and jamed it into the hole to seal. it works the same i just didnt have a seringe. used some essential oil mixed with water smells way better than the original cool lifehack
I didnt have an old one so i just raided the Needle containers in the Toilets at the Train Station and jabbed it inside the Air Vent. Works great!! Now i have that real Train Station Junkie Toilet Smell!! Mmmmmm....
@carquestions I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT 3.7L. A few days ago the oil filter housing cracked. Can the housing for the oil filter be replaced without getting a whole new engine?
Well, it's cheaper if you buy your own oil, and you get to change the scent to something you potentially enjoy more. If you prefer the febreze scent you can always siphon out a couple CCs from a non aerosol bottle of the stuff and still save quite a bit.
Those arw thw worse air fresheners packs in summer is normally that plastic pops and is not becacuse he refille it even when is new the heat make the oil oveheat and the bag inflate until eventuallu burst not in everyone but highly probability and melt the plastic panel
Take your gain febreze granuals and mix with water in a bottle then take the syringe as shown in the video and fill the syringe with your mixture and insert into the air freshener. Works perfectly.
I just injected the oil into my vein 🤔 now I'm farting a tropical breeze 🙄
🤣👍
Hahahahhahah
Grosss !! Asshole 🤦🏾♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Am I the only one who doesn't have a needle handy or is everyone tapping 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the info Rafeal
No Mr officer those syringes are to reuse my vent clips..... why are you asking me to get out the car?
No officer, that's NOT drug paraphernalia... I was merely hacking my empty Febreeze vent clip.
Also you: Well jail is the same as last time 🤗
Try taking a refilled Febreze clip into jail with you, they'll add an extra charge on you for bringing contraband.
I just refilled mine with eucalyptus oil BEST decision ever
Great tip Jesus
I'm going to use lavender next
Where do I find these oils ????
@@Mimi89_7 lol I used lavender air freshener
I paid a little over $5 for mine at Target and I’d thought about doing this myself that’s why I’m here to see if anyone else did it.
They have indeed - Cheers from Canada!
promotes Febreze for a whole 1:30 then refills it with his own oil XD

instructions not clear, my kidney smell great tho.
sorry about the kidney
Ingenious! I’m almost at the end of my Febreeze bent clip. Gonna find a good essential oil and try this out

Oh shit!!! Yo ass in trouble 🤣 ....underrated comment 👍🏾
Why are you injecting mango magic into yourself
I bought one of them the other day I was thinking I wonder... Your video showed the answer very clearly and easy. Thanks for showing and sharing..

I just did this and the FBI came pounding on my door. Im facing a life sentence
Take the deal
@@carquestions 🤣💚
I always have a syringe or two laying around.
too much sharing there
maybe hes got diebeetus@@carquestions
That’s actually a cool idea. Now I just gotta find what scents to mix to get the Hawaii smelling one.
Spam and pineapple.

Thank you! I've been wanting to put my favorite perfume in one. ❤️
I put after shave in mine been doing this trick for years cheers for video from Scotland
No lie this is better than what i did. I also use downy makes car smell good not like the oil scents smell too strong.
Thanks! I was buying those every time I was at the store. Really appreciate your tip. Thanks again!

Thank you you saved me a bunch of money and the best part is now is that I get to put my favorite oil in it but now where do I get the syringe?
Amazon - farm supply places etc - Cheers from Canada Yvonne!
I bought some syringes on Amazon to refill my ink cartridges for my fountain pen. I am sure they have all sorts you can buy there.
Freaking genius! Going to do this as soon as I get home 👍👍👍
Hope you enjoy JBS - Cheers from Canada!
The clips stretched, but I'll start refilling mine.
Everybody knows that you have to heat it in a spoon, and wrap a belt around the vent clip before you inject it
Thanks
Also, if you want it to function like the original Febreze, you could get a spray bottle of Febreze and use that as the liquid, or in combination with the oil, probably.
The spray is a different mix of stuff entirely. It may be maltodextron corn product, alcohol, and fragrance.
The vent packs are just oils of some sort
Thanks! I was buying those like crazy!!!:D! Will try your way!
Best of luck Sylvia - cheers from Canada!
the pharmacy does not give u needles because of drug users so im trying to decide what else i can use
I buy them all the time for my grandmother just go buy a pack of insulin syringes you dont need rx
Great insightful pts of knowledge...thx for sharing!!
Wow 😳 great tip.
Thanks
Everyones gonna think your doing heroin or something with that needle 😂🤦🏾♀️
heroin into......the air refresher?
=D cannot be being cheaper than this :D
Wow cool Thank you 🤯😃 just so simple and creative 👌
I wondering how to reuse my $3.98 car air freshener..thanks for the tip
That's a great idea. I have been using the small Febreze cartridges with the oil in them. Where did you buy the container of oil?
Got a bottle at the local craft store - in Canada it's called Michael's
Thank you Sir, we have those in in the US too.
can you refill from the front plastic as well
So no longer the fabreeze qualities you enjoy in the product? Or can you get Fabreeze concentrate??
I just did this and it doesnt smell as strong, we will see in a few hours when it has been sitting in the car for a bit
Get Idea! Mmmm...Valvoline 5w20 here we come!
ohhhh - ok
Which cimpany air freshner
But if febreze has the molecule to trap odors, then you just refilling with oils without the molecule, you are simply masking the odor. Why not just spray under arm deodorant
if it was cheaper I would
You could refill it with febreeze then or liquid laundry detergent
Thank you!! So needed this video!
If it gets hot in the car, am I gonna be oil frying?
yes mcdonalds fries cooked on ambi pur febreze oil xD
what?
I knew someone, would have did this already.
I use that “new car” scent. Any recommendation on places to buy certain scents?
Nope - whatever you prefer
If your looking for that same scent just in a oil type of form I would try to get “Blunt affects” or “Scent Bomb “ I believe they have something very similar to that
Chemical guys new car scent or leather scent
Can I do this with cologne? Or is there a product I can fill with cologne in it?
try it Muhammad see if it works
Yes I do
I had a new one of those that leaked on my dashboard in my mazda and it partially dissolved the dashboard it leaked on. Never bought them again.
Ty for the tip but as I see, the oil leaks from the hole a little bit and it drips onto my AC. Do you think how can I prevent it? Should I just stick a small tape at back?
Osmanege - next time put the hole higher up and fill it less - Cheers from Canada!
If you want the real protip for this, although it might be tight space wise, you could put a little dollop of silicone rtv gasket maker over the area. This would seal it up nicely and serve as a self healing multi injection site for future refills.
You fill it right below the tab that lets you choose the setting. It’s upright then & wont leak.
Your awesome! Im going to try this method from now on;)
Yeah
Let me just go grab my syringe 💉
I mean he did say he went to tractor supply JUST to get it lol
@@BigBaldFella where do you find a tractor supply store
@@sandraburr3770 it’s called “Tractor Supply” it’s a chain like Home Depot. Just got to the drug store.
@@sandraburr3770 kinda sus
@@sandraburr3770 Planet earth
Great idea. Do you know from where does the fragrance come out since both the sides are sealed with that thick plastic 🤔
Same question here... 🤭🤭🤭
Chris Oltman inject from the plastic upper front and use combination of water and waterbased essential oil..i've already done this for one year nothing happened
It saturates the fiber behing the dial at the back, which difuses when dispursed by the air coning from your vent
@@chrisoltman4113 place the hole at the front towards the top of the plastic film
@@chrisoltman4113 You put the hole at the bottom so the fluid leaks out all over the place.
Where do you get the scents from?
I think you can search under essential oils. I'm assuming that is the type he is using.
Mine is getting empty going to try this have a lot of oil going to try to refill my glade plug in to..thanks for the tip
Great idea . Thank you and thumbs up 👍👍👍
Mcgyver ain't got nothing on the ghetto air freshener refill man
Love that Chris - Cheers from Canada!
What's your preferred scent?
Whatever my wife doesn't like usually
Thank you. You just let me know that I did it wrong! Tis great news!
Thank you. And it didn't take all day to share 😀
thanks for the tip
Any time Janny - Cheers from Canada!
Can you use cologne or does it have to be oil??
You could but it would evaporate fast since it's alcohol based - could mix the two though
carquestions I was thinking about the same thing. You are Awesome!
Really helply!
What size syringe and Needle is that?

Didn’t work cause it started leaking in my car. I did it the same way he did it and before you know it it started leaking
I had a feeling that this (leaking) would happen.
Thanx for sharing coz it’s gonna be messy and sticky.
Hope you didn’t damage your interiors....
You filled it too much! Put the hole as close to the top as possible & only fill it half way! My first try leaked because I put the hole in the middle! Haven't leaked since

Wow amazing my lady friend sells designer oils!
My kind of Lady - Cheers from Canada!
@@carquestions Cheers from Washington, D.C.
Great....... Got my thumbs up :-)
Thanks
what size is the needle
could you fill it back up with febreze like what you spray in your house
You could try but its not as oily and won't last as long - plus where would the savings be?
That's true, thanks
i did this with a needle and sqeezed the plastic liquid holder to suck up the new liquid. then i cut a small length of rubberband and jamed it into the hole to seal. it works the same i just didnt have a seringe. used some essential oil mixed with water smells way better than the original cool lifehack

I didnt have an old one so i just raided the Needle containers in the Toilets at the Train Station and jabbed it inside the Air Vent.
Works great!!
Now i have that real Train Station Junkie Toilet Smell!!
Mmmmmm....
great tip ... thank you
No problem
Who is car perfume is best gel or ac vent or spray... comment sir..
mmmm brake clean! LOL
Cool idea. Now off to skid row to pick up a used junkies bloody hypodermic needle. Thanks Senor.
@carquestions I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT 3.7L. A few days ago the oil filter housing cracked. Can the housing for the oil filter be replaced without getting a whole new engine?
Yep - I think the housing just bolts on the side of the block so sure
carquestions can you suggest a place for me to order it from? I've tried six places with no luck.
I bought open three of those and none of them work something's blocking i got one opening under car seat
Where will I find these oils???
local craft store
Walmart
Thank you!!!!!!
Anytime Hair
6,99€ here in Austria, btw! Thank u :)
wow - that"s like $10 canadian
Can you send me a link to the oil
Ashok - just get whatever you like on Amazon - cheers from Canada!
I got the syringe from Hobby lobby
Am I the only person wondering why one would go to a tractor supply store to buy a syringe?
tractor supply = farm supply = stuff like medicine for animals and the stuff needed to give it
Can i add cologne?
Question how long does the essential oil last, the same 30 days or longer?
Depends on how much you use it - more if heater or AC is on - Cheers from Canada!
Wow you are very intelligent for this. Very clever!!!
what is the point of this does not use febrezee anymore the oil does not work like febrezee right ?
Just spend $3.00
Well, it's cheaper if you buy your own oil, and you get to change the scent to something you potentially enjoy more.
If you prefer the febreze scent you can always siphon out a couple CCs from a non aerosol bottle of the stuff and still save quite a bit.
Hey, I did the same, used some lavender essential oil ... And I think it's too thick to evaporate and release the smell.
What shall I do ?
Thanks
It still works but evaporates more slowly - don't do anything
Unluckily ...
I don't get any odor from it :/
Thin essential oil with a carrier oil, like grapeseed oil...
Nice
I did this it wasnt full but its leaking. How come?
You should injecting the front side top corner so it wont spiel.
Chris Oltman well damn you dont have to discourage everyone 🤦🏾♂️ w the same lines , take a chill pill

What is the name of the perfume
Schvetty bols...
where do i buy one needle syringe?!?!!?!?
Pharmacy
+carquestions just order one online, you need a prescription. What essential oil sent did you use in this video?
I've heard a lot of good things about Lemongrass oils. I just bought one off Amazon.
+LiftOrGTFO I literally just got it , it smells like Asian scent but once you put it in your car, it smells kinda lemony
Kevin Le I just ordered some off Wish. Three for a dollar.
Want to buy.. tell me how?
Vaibhav MB Patil They sell the actual scent in Wilkinson and the refill all you need to get is the only injection..
Do you have any recommendations about what I could put in the clip aside from oil? I want the gain febreze smell. I’m not crazy about essential oils.
Trial and error method comes to mind Hannah - I didn't try anything else - Cheers from Canada!
Take your gain febreze granuals and mix with water in a bottle then take the syringe as shown in the video and fill the syringe with your mixture and insert into the air freshener. Works perfectly.
