Unclip them and pull it out, that's when you get to see your old filter. Clean your filter or replace and put everything back. Took me probably 3 minutes total, if you have trouble Google it.
Bough a Fram at Wally World for $13,95. Way cheaper than O'Reilly or Auto Zone. For my Scion,but all on shelf similarly priced. Those MAS-MAP spray cleaner sets were $7.28 at WM, also.

I use the same steps when changing the cabin filter in my Tundra, it's just that easy. I also changed the cabin filter in my father's '98 Acura RL... that was a P.I.T.A. to change. Thankful that Toyota kept it simple.
Ya I didn't even know this was a thing until I bought my first car and the Midas shop asked if I wanted the cabin air filter inspected or only the engine air filter.
I just changed mine the other day myself. I had no idea it was a thing until the RUclips algorithm recommended me a video on changing one out in my car's model for some random reason. It definitely helps as mine came out with leaves and all other sorts of dirt...
You must watch YT in your car while driving... so your smartphone sensors realized how stuffy the air was in your car, and sent you over to Scotty's video.
Wow - that's amazing - I never would have thought that disposable interior air filters existed that far back - I don't remember ever hearing about a cabin air filter prior to about 15 years ago....

The nice thing about the manual for my car is that it's just a fat PDF file that I can open with my phone or tablet. Much more convenient versus a thicc-boi book that sits in the glove box.
I drive a 2016 Mazda cx 5 85000kms, been changing the cabin air filter myself thanks to Scotty, and it makes a world of a difference. I live in Dubai, so you can see how preventive maintenance helps save a lot of money
I dare to say nothing comes close in difficult level when it comes to Cadillac Seville 98-04 and Buick Park Avenue 97-05. Rumors says it was the Devil himself who designed the compartment and it’s location. On top, he also engineered the three piece filter and the installation procedure.
Holy crap! I just watched a video to see. There are so many steps, I wanted to just cut through with my grinder to get it done. So glad I drive a Toyota.
Possibly, or it could be the condenser or heater core getting nasty mold and mildew. I’ve emptied entire cans of Lysol into the air vents more than a couple times.
Scotty's content is always right on time. I have to change my cabin air filter at the moment. Already got a brand new filter for my Buick. Just got to pick up a can of Lysol disinfectant spray before I swap it out!
Changed mine about three years a go for the first time. Had been driving around with nasty dirty one for 7 yrs. First thing I noticed was how that moldy smell went away. Everyone, share this video with all your friends.
😄😄😄 hi Scotty I'm glad I watch your other video on using silicone and the window tracks I used it with the Registrar on the nozzle of the can and they've been working good thank you again for that segment and that video take care and God bless I hope you like your summer stay in Rhode Island with the grandchildren and everything take care
Back in the days I had a 2004 Citroen c5.. the cabin filter was literally behind the gas pedal inside the central console and the replacement not only took time but also a fine motor skills while laying on the driver's seat with your head down under the dashboard... You can't imagine all the thoughts and blessings for the female relatives of the french engineering genius who decided this is a suitable place for the filter.. now after changing several Citroens and Renaults from France I'd accept only wine and women.. go figure ;)
I put a Bosch HEPA cabin filter in my car and will never get anything less. Not only does it work great for allergies, after a year, the inside of the windshield glass was so clean that a white cloth found nothing! 🤘
That's funny because I just changed my cabin air filter and even though I was able to see some light through the old one the new one makes a heck of a difference.
Mr Scotty you are a wonderful American I wish every mechanic to be honest like you are I love your explanations sample and understandable, god bless you, wishing you happy and long life.
Scotty, you are soooo right. Had a 2008 Mercedes C300. Took forever to change both of the engine air filters (yes, two and the housing had a bunch of screws to undo) and the cabin air filter. Got rid of it for a 2014 Lexus ES350. Takes about 5 minutes to change both the engine and cabin filters, max. BMW's and Mercedes used to be great (I'm old enough to remember) but those days are long past.
In Peugeot 206 it's accessible from the engine bay. The filter is behind the passenger side shock tower, mostly under the dash. You can't see it, but you can reach to it from the engine bay
It is a very good health reason to change the cabin filter. This filter takes out much of the dust, pollutants, and pollen from outside. It can also filter out microbes and fungus spores that may be floating in the air. After the year 2000 the auto manufactures started to put these filters in to the design of the vehicle air conditioning and heating system. Most vehicles today have this type of filter. I change the cabin filter every fall just before the winter. In my SUV it is located under below the glove box. The user manual for the vehicle should show the location. I get these from a local auto parts store for about $25 Canadian dollars. Takes about 5 minutes for me to change it.
Yes, the filters from auto parts stores are cheaper, but according to the instructions, they have to be changed more often. Take your pick. Personally, I look for sales at the dealership parts department.
OMG thank you so much Scotty. I have an extremely sensitive nose but my husband is nose blind. When someone smokes in a car or around an air conditioner the odor not only makes me nauseous it can cause a migraine if it's not dealt with often & driving with a migraine is not only awful it's a dangerous distraction. The only way I ever knew to deal with it was to put the AC on high cool with the air blowing out the top vents & spray NeutraAir or Citrus Magic into the intake on the front passenger side. Those are the 2 things that I've found don't just mask the smell but eliminate it. I'm definitely going to ask my husband to order one of the filters you get for your wife.
Can confirm, own a 2007 Grand Prix, CAF is under the dash, where you take off weather-stripping under the hood. In a 2018 Buick Envision, the Glovebox isn't fully removable (easily anyway, Chevy Cruze owners got it a ton easier)
My 2011 Cruze didn’t make it to 123,000 km and my 2019 Encore couldn’t handle -18°C without needing major repairs. Sell that junk and buy a real vehicle.
Got leaves finding their way in. I cut a thin piece of poster board to slide in under the filter before sliding out the filter and scraping the leaves off where they fall right into the squirrel cage blower. Saves the real pain of trying to vacuum them out of the squirrel cage through the filter slot to keep them from shredding and getting into the coils.
My 2002 Honda civic has the same location. I slide the cover and there's 2 filters. I replaced them with charcoal filters for $6 for a 2 pack. Only took 5 minutes to replace. The AAA place charges $70 to replace!
Same with my subaru, super easy to change both the engine and cabin air filter. I buy oem tho so it cost me $50 for both. Couldve gotten it online for $35, but I just kinda wanted to do it right away
Wish my Renault Scenic was this easy Scotty.. as well as taking half the dashboard off, you have to remove the clutch pedal! Unbelievable 😬. Love your vids👍👍

My cabin airfilter is located underneath the hood, passanger side near the windshield on my Buick. My other vehicle it's located within Scotty's amazing laugh and personality!
In a lot of newer economy type cars they Put these filters in the worst and most stupid places. In my mother’s Nissan Versa you have to completely crush the filter to get it to fit in there
i just changed mine. no one had replaced it since the car was new (2011) and the amount of pollen (north carolina weather) had started somehow trapping condensation and creating water in the glovebox and nearly ruined my insurance and registration papers! haven’t had any problems since replacing the filter so here’s hoping it’s fixed 😅
I used this as the stash spot in my Accord. I'd pull up and squeeze it, leave it hanging, then slide the filter out. I would get back in the car and throw the..... inside the air filter slots. This allowed me to have everything stashed with a locked glove box and on the road in ten seconds. I miss it.
God Bless you Scotty, I'm heading to the garage to check the air filters....one car is a Camry the other is a BMW...so I'll be back in 6hrs and 10 minutes.....🤣
Walmart sells cabin filters where the air filters are. Not sure what your part number is look in your owner's manual or sometimes they have a parts catalog right there in the aisle. Walmart has them reasonably priced.
Whenever I get an oil change the shop always says cabin air filter needs to be replaced. Depending on what shop it is, they want to charge anywhere from $40-$60. I get mine online for $10 or less and it does take a minute. Another one is the brake lights. Hyundai dealer wanted $50 to replace left and right brake lights. I got LED ones online for $5 and tool less than 5 minutes to replace.
My a/c stopped working in my 2011 Ford Fusion, and the mobile mechanic wanted $120 to replace the cabin filter. I bought a new filter from Auto Zone for $10 and replaced the old one myself. Had a horrible time getting the cover back on ;)
My 2010 F150 XL doesn't have a cabin air filter. Every now & again I plug an Ozone generator into an inverter & let it run in the cab while the air/heat is running to kill hidden microbes & bad smells.
My car sat a lot somewhere when the original owner had it but it smells kinda like a swamp or a wet dog. I've changed the filter which was a major culprit but I've yet to eliminate the smell completely. It happens when the air conditioner is turned on after sitting (I understand that one) or during a long drive which is the confusing part and definitely not the engine. I know my catalytic converter needs replacement but my service lights is off so it's fine in my mind.
I took my car to Honda for repairs for 15 years and they never ever change it . When I found out about it i looked up a video and bought the filter . It was DIFFICULT to pull my old filter out because it was jammed up with dirt n crap . I vacuumed the slot out and installed the new one
Scotty I got a Honda Accord 2011 my roommate's got a 14 Acura MDX and we both use the same cabin filter so about every year I buy cabin filters for us both on eBay for about 10 bucks a piece at most.

i just changed mine. no one had replaced it since the car was new (2011) and the amount of pollen (north carolina weather) had started somehow trapping condensation and creating water in the glovebox and nearly ruined my insurance and registration papers! haven’t had any problems since replacing the filter so here’s hoping it’s fixed 😅
I used this as the stash spot in my Accord. I'd pull up and squeeze it, leave it hanging, then slide the filter out. I would get back in the car and throw the..... inside the air filter slots. This allowed me to have everything stashed with a locked glove box and on the road in ten seconds. I miss it.
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I will do this to my Honda when I get back home.
Buy them on rock auto. They even have hepa filters for really cheap prices, good brands too.
God Bless you Scotty, I'm heading to the garage to check the air filters....one car is a Camry the other is a BMW...so I'll be back in 6hrs and 10 minutes.....🤣
Walmart sells cabin filters where the air filters are. Not sure what your part number is look in your owner's manual or sometimes they have a parts catalog right there in the aisle. Walmart has them reasonably priced.
Whenever I get an oil change the shop always says cabin air filter needs to be replaced. Depending on what shop it is, they want to charge anywhere from $40-$60. I get mine online for $10 or less and it does take a minute. Another one is the brake lights. Hyundai dealer wanted $50 to replace left and right brake lights. I got LED ones online for $5 and tool less than 5 minutes to replace.
Got a free toyota rav4 and this was the biggest problem... aside from a broken brake line, but I got that fixed in about 20 minutes
My a/c stopped working in my 2011 Ford Fusion, and the mobile mechanic wanted $120 to replace the cabin filter. I bought a new filter from Auto Zone for $10 and replaced the old one myself. Had a horrible time getting the cover back on ;)
Cabin air filter sometimes will have that wet dog smell just replace it at that point its not an expensive fix in any way.
My 2010 F150 XL doesn't have a cabin air filter. Every now & again I plug an Ozone generator into an inverter & let it run in the cab while the air/heat is running to kill hidden microbes & bad smells.
My car sat a lot somewhere when the original owner had it but it smells kinda like a swamp or a wet dog. I've changed the filter which was a major culprit but I've yet to eliminate the smell completely. It happens when the air conditioner is turned on after sitting (I understand that one) or during a long drive which is the confusing part and definitely not the engine. I know my catalytic converter needs replacement but my service lights is off so it's fine in my mind.
I took my car to Honda for repairs for 15 years and they never ever change it . When I found out about it i looked up a video and bought the filter . It was DIFFICULT to pull my old filter out because it was jammed up with dirt n crap . I vacuumed the slot out and installed the new one
02 Audi A8 plus 7 series BMW of the same vintage... Pop the hood and there they are. Turn a knob and remove and replace.
Scotty, you keep raising the bar 👍
Scotty I got a Honda Accord 2011 my roommate's got a 14 Acura MDX and we both use the same cabin filter so about every year I buy cabin filters for us both on eBay for about 10 bucks a piece at most.
