Thank you brother. ❤

[@user-cm2xj7ew5p]

Just now took care of this, but I brushed out filter for the time being. Thank you bles'sed Father, and Thank you for the Angel that you sent to explain to me how the "pinch" lock worked. Good thing, because I could have broken it with the screwdriver. There's always room for improvement. And thank you precious Father for having taught me something new today.😊

Thank you, I didn't even know there was a Cabin Air Filter. I will be changing mine ASAP.

[@MountainManMo]

You're welcome. We are supposed to change this every year, but I have gone 5 years between changes. It depends on how dusty an area you drive. The dustier the air the more often it should be changed.

[@njsongwriter]

Isn't there an arrow on one edge of the filter that tells you which side goes up?

[@AliHussein-gk8jj]

Kia rio 😘😘😘😘😘

[@fernandorodrigues7357]

Please, you can make a video I need put AVG in cruise control I have a Kia Rio 2013 , thanks .

[@Seventhkeyblade]

Bro Firestone wanted to charge me 90 bucks for this?! No fucking way 😂

[@Marc-yh1rd]

So far I haven't found a video where the person says if the arrows for the air flow go up or down

[@505ak8]

Same her. I've bought a Bosch filter and there's just an arrow on it. No idea what's up and down since it fits both ways. 🤦‍♂️
As he points out at 1:03 ...I've noticed on my filter that the ends are a bit different. On one side of the filter the ends are loose and on the other they are more solid. So i assume the solid ends shoud point towards the airflow otherwise they will make noise.
And about the airflow, just take the filter out, hold on to something lightweight and see what direction it bends.
Hope it helps... it took under a min to change the filter and 2 hours on youtube to figure it out 🥵🤬 (still not 100 % sure) 🤣

[@wolger]

Air flow arrow should be pointing down.

[@dkyeboah.]

Just found out I bought a car that has no air filter and have been using it for over a year now
