Helping people in 2023!! Thanks boss
Thanks so much for sharing this video and helpful tutorial! My dealership just tried to charge me $120 to change these. They must have thought that a woman couldn't figure this out.
Hey, thanks for your comment. I went to my dealer and they were charging $69. I knew it wasn't that hard so I went online and on a website saw how easy it was. I went and made this video to help some people save money.
+Daniel Corona how wouid i know if my honda has vtec?i have the same year make and model as your car.i have 1.8 but how would i know if it has vtec
+David Henriquez most honda engines now have vtec, the 1.8 is the gas saving type that is adjusted for gas saving so you won't get much power out of it. it is vtec though. look up r18 engine honda
Yep. Dealership tried to tell me my cabin air filter needed to be replaced I was like “I replaced it last week when my blower motor went bad.” They act like women don’t know how to work on cars. It’s hysterical. 😭😭😭😭 my engine air filter does need replacing though so I’ll be doing that myself.
Great video! Honda dealership wanted to charge me over $100! I bought the filters at AutoZone and replaced both of them in less then 15-mins! Thanks for the great save!
That chicken and cat Combo. Great video! The dealership wanted to charge me 150$.
Dealership wanted $133 to replace both my filters. Just ordered them off Amazon for under $30. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Glad the video saved you some money!

I have a 2008 Honda Civic which I've had for about two years and, to my knowledge, the air filer has never been changed, so I was planning to do it myself to save some money. This was very helpful, thanks. Also, I never knew there was such a thing as a "cabin" air filter, but I guess I should probably changed that, too.
This video is still saving people $$$ in 2021. Thanks for putting this up.
After watching this video, for the first time I said NO to the dealership for changing the engine and cabin air filters. I ordered them off of Amazon and was easily able to replace both of them. Thanks Daniel !! :)
I'm glad you watched my video. I've had dozens of people thank me over the years and I'm glad they saved some money. Dealers just use it as a cash grab. If it was only a couple bucks it would be fine but they charge too much.
Like the last comment one year ago, it's now March of 2019, and your video is still helping. Thank you.
It is great that RUclips enables us to do for $10, what the shops want to charge us $50-$150 for. That too from the convenience of home.
So true, I just FOOLISHLY paid 65 bucks to a Honda dealership for it.
Well, never again, eh?
Be sure to do your spark plugs, batteries, etc. by yourself from now on. It is not just cost, but convenience of doing it from home too..
timing belt is a bigger job and outside the scope for most car owners in fairness.
@@IreGlenn Actually, Civics 2006 and later have a Timing Chain that does not need to be replaced.
@@YD-uq5fi I understand that, I own a Civic but I was just replying to your comment encouraging people to do their own timing belt changes etc, it's not a simple job like the other jobs you mentioned.
Thank you so much for this video! I unfortunate paid $40 for a cabin filter at a popular oil change chain but never again, now that I can see that I can easily do it myself for a quarter of that cost!
Thank you for making this video! I still look at it every time I change my filters (it's just enough time in between changes to forget exactly how to do it). This video has probably saved over $500 in labor costs totalling all the times it would have cost me to get it done at the dealer since I got my 2012 Civic.
Thank you for this video. They judge me so terribly when they show it to me and I don't splurge on a clean one.
Thank you for sharing... Easy to follow instructions... I spend 35 dollars and did it myself... At the dealer and the shop they were ready to charge me US$95-- US$100 'plus tax!' ---
I just bought my engine air filter at Napa. If you reserve online you save an additional 10%. It was only 11.29 plus tax. Thanks for this video. Very helpful!
And I thought MY mechanic was overcharging for the air filter (not including labor) at $38... these other commenters are going to insane people, charging $60-$200 for air filter replacement?! I'm getting my own and doing it myself.. no question about it. Thanks for this video!
michellewaffle just got an oil change. They were going to charge $59.99 for the cabin one and $29.99 for the other. So $30 some isn't bad. I am going to do it myself though.
Thank you! Feels good to do these simple replacements that others want to overcharge.
Thanks for the video. You are helping people in 2024
Easier than changing my house AC filter. Thanks for helping.
Thank you for the video! I'm watching it in 2022 cuz I'm a broke college student and this will be my first car and this is super helpful :D
Your video is still helping people almost 8 years later!
its not even hard to do, i went to the dealer for an oil change since i had a coupon (39.95), and they quoted over a hundred forty to change the filters. went to autozone and paid 40. took me about 10 minutes at home thanks to this video, thanks so much!!!
Video still helping out all these years
very helpful man!! they wanted to charge me 115 at honda dealership to change both filters, now i can do it on my own thanks!!!
Hey bud, great and helpful video. I truly appreciate it, now I know how to do it myself and save me some cash. Thanks again!
Emir Aviles Thank you so much for the comment. I made this video a couple years ago and I am glad it is still helping people today. BTW, im posting from my wifes account since my phone broke
You made my day easy breezy. Thanks.
Air filters are to mechanics what sodas are to McDonalds. It costs them nothing, but costs you a disproportionately large amount of money.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video I did exactly what you said thanks it helped
Good stuff I just changed both of them out. Easy to follow I appreciate the video
Thank you very much ! I definitely saved some money !
Easily. Simple. To the point. Thank you brother!
Thanks so much for the upload, about to go replace mine myself for the first time tired of giving money to Pep Boys and the Honda dealership! Now I just gotta learn how to replace my oil lol.
Thank you. Saved me 60 bucks.
Thank you so much for your great explanation! That was so helpful.
Glad that a couple minutes of my time could help so many of you all. thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the info. i just went for an oil change they said I needed both. it was going to be $90. I will buy the supplies and do this myself.
Thanks for the video! Wanted to see what the filter looked like before opening it up myself. Your video was very helpful.
Still useful in 2023, confirming it here
thanks Daniel ! Honda charged me $160 to replace both last year which is pretty pricey compared to what others are mentioning. I will try this myself next time. I am not mechanically inclined but I think even I can do this. LOL.
i just changed mine using this video..you are right Honda wanted 167.99 to change mine ,,I cant imagine any technicians 15 minutes costs around $150
Thanks Daniel...I need to change my engine air filter and cabin air filter on my 13 Si & this video was very helpful.
I couldn't think it is so simple. Thanks for good video and saving money, of course!
Very useful video!
Best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
2023. Still getting views bro!
Just changed mine, cabin and air filter, good video
Thanks! I normally have my son do it but wanted to try to do it myself!
Thanks - I just ordered the filters. They will take me about 5 minutes to replace.
bless you Daniel....thanks for saving me $200...
This was very useful. Thanks for posting.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for this helpful video! About to do this now and your video is very relaxing with the cute kitty wanting attention to the rooster in the background!
Awesome, thanks for sharing this!! Saved me a few bucks.
Nice, straightforward.
Saved me $70 thanks man!! 🤣
omg kitty at the end
aw!! kitty!! 😍 🐈 great video!! thank you!!
Thank you for posting this.
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
Nice.... I'll be changing my own filters. I just bought them at the honda parts department both were 67 dollars I know a bit pricey but I'll order them online next time.
Thanks! Very Helpful!

Dude! Thank you for the video.
Thank U !!!!! u just save me at least a $100 bucks!!
Yes so helpful thank you!!!!!
Thanks a lot bro! I appreciate it!
Thanks I was wondering where the filter was
Yo Daniel just wanted to let you know you’re the fucking man, you really helped me learn and saved me some cash so I appreciate it brother!!
Thanks so much!
thank you so much!
I will check it out , thank youBig help!!!!
Thank you for this! Can you believe the instructions aren't in the owners manual??
I feel you Jen. Something this simple should have instructions. No dealership will EVER provide instructions for anything that they charge and make money from. A couple of button clicks on Amazon or NAPA and a little bit of time invested will save us ALL a few pennies.
Thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Nice vid and thx
Ty!!
Well done
Thank you so much! And they wanna charge me $175 for both. 😩
Thanks
thank u! U saved me!!! #brokecollegegirl!
Great job! Thanks for the post. Do you suggest getting Honda parts or can you suggest getting after-market filters from a place like Autozone? There is a big difference in price. Love the kitten! You should include him more in the video.
Personally i would not get the cheap air filters they sell at autozone, they do not filter properly. The only one i would recommend and the one i will be getting soon is the K&N Filter. You can reuse the filter for the life of the vehicle and has great reviews.
Isn't it ok to just wash the old filter (soak it overnight in the basement sink) so that all the grit is removed, and then using the same one again?
I mean, that really should be good enough if you get most or all of the grit/dust out of it.
Then, the whole thing is FREE, plus better for the environment....
Personally, I have never tried this and since the filters are cheap I rather be safe buying a new one instead of risking it.
I don't know. Just tapping it on the ground and running the vacuum hose attachment through it probably cleans it enough. Maybe dry-brushing it with an old toothbrush will work too.
Is the filter made of paper? If so, no water should be used, but vacuuming it may suffice...
It is cheap, but think about landfills, etc.
Your video is very helpful, I have been looking for the cabin air filter but couldn't find it. I am going to order one off amazon, does it matter what brand, and what about the engine filter? Thanks for your response
honestly, I would recommend OEM Honda filters. They are very cheap online. I mean, sure you could buy the cheaper ones made in China but the quality is not up to participate with the quality Honda puts on their filters.
For example. An original filter is thicker yet catches more debri from going inside the engine and cabin while a cheap on will let all the trash go in possibly ruining your car in the long run. There are many people that will say that it will cause no damage by using cheap filters, but disagree and hey...why risk it for 2 or 3 dollars less. lmk
Hey is that the 2.4L engine by any chance? And how would I go about doing an engine swap in my Honda civic, I currently have a 1.8L and wanna change it to a 2.4 L and supercharge it. But before I do that wanna change the pistons to a race quality and ofc the sparkplugs and fuel injectors. Any tips?
If my indicator is on for my air filters, will the it go away by itself when i replace them (assuming replacement is all thats needed)?
Did your mpg return to normal after changing the filters? Thanks
So, these are the two filters mentioned in the Honda's A12 service? Am I correct? They are referring them as air cleaner element and dust and pollen filter.
loik345 yes
Thanks man. I changed mine today. I bought aftermarket ones from Canadian tire for $ 45 inclusive of taxes.
loik345 Hey, sorry to say but you got ripped off. they have the cheap ones being sold for high price due to it being available then and there. if you bought them online from amazon you could have both for less than 20 dollars. just a FYI for the next time you want to change them.
Daniel Corona they were the same price at Amazon too. In the US, you can get them both for $ 20. in Canada, they are around $ 40 + tax.
loik345 then you should have ordered them from the U.S...
I wonder if we can just clean the old filter with some brushing and the vacuum cleaner hose attachment. Why fill landfills with so much waste? Why not also save another $10?
Depends on which ones. They say not to wash the " paper" ones .. the trick is: do not use a hose I was tempted to do this vacuum it lightly, in very very hot water with some detergent GENTLY MOVE AROUND let's soak rinse and air-dry with terry cloth underneath the problem is that this breaks down the filter if you're not gentle enough
How much improvement did you get in gas?
I’m here cuz the dealership wanted to charge labor for putting this in
