Thank you so much for your very instructional video on changing the cabin filter and the engine filter. I am a 71-year-old woman and the dealer was going to charge me over $200 to change both these filters. Instead I watched your videos, and your videos were very clear and I knew I could probably do this on my own. I was able to change both of these filters by myself in about 10 minutes!!! Thank u so much for your great videos!!!😊

[@spiritbee76]

They charging me $82.20 for cabin air filter change and $61.93 engine air filter change I told them no this is a useful video thank you!!!

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

I took my 2022 CRV in for oil change new filters, new tires and other maintenance items. I was stund when Honda wanted to charge me $150. to change my cabin filter. So, I went to the dealership and bought one for $26 and installed myself. Don't let this happen to you.

[@lola2837]

Wow, you made it look so easy! Thanks, now I have the confidence to change the engine air filter on my own. Woo hoo!

[@johndaugherty7779]

Extremely well done. Very detailed and no music. Thank you so much.

[@JoJo-ri2pu]

Thank you! I needed socket thingy because screwdriver didn't work.

[@deborahb.277]

Thank you for very thoroughly explaining how to do it. As a novice, I was able to follow your instructions very easy.

[@billmcgovern6479]

4:45 I feel your pain. I did this exact maneuver checking the air filter after I had completed an oil/filter change and buttoned the belly pan completely. Sigh. Your video is very complete and easy to follow, thanks.

[@Dennys787]

Great video! When I saw that the dealer was gonna charge me $100 to replace the Cabin and Engine air filter I said screw that, I'll do it myself. Changed the cabin filter without a hitch, but when I went for the Engine Filter and I saw the platic tube attached to it, I started doubting myself thinking I had to remove that to access the filter. Thanks to you, I now know that the process is INCREDIBLY easy. Again, thanks so much for the video! EDIT: Im back 5 minutes later. Changed the filter without a hitch. Thanks again man!

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thanks for the feedback

[@johngornall5133]

[@suecampbell328]

Thank you, your video is well done and easy to follow!

[@danoleary7401]

This was a fantastic video. Precious and easy to follow. I watched and did the cabin filter also. One thing I did was add a sticker with date on it so I knew when the lady one was put in. Thanks again.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thank you for the compliment. I started mentioning marking the date in my newer videos as well. Thank you for the support.

Definitely need a socket/nut driver on the new one as you mentioned. Would highly recommend

[@johnshifflett1722]

You do The Best instructional videos I’ve seen. Showing exactly what needs to be done. Definitely going to subscribe to your channel

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Appreciate that. Just trying the no nonsense approach to help others.

[@VictorJimenez-hy1bs]

Thank you so much for helping me change my engine filter.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Congrats! Now that your car can breath, give yourself better air by changing cabin air filter as well. I have a video for that as well. 👍

[@jesusgonzalez6303]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@morphie12]

I purchased, at your suggestion, Spearhead air and cabin filters for our Hondas. The gasket on the engine air filter is rather fragile, allowing it to pull away from its position. With careful installation there appeared to be no problem. However, the OEM's, which I previously purchased through a Honda dealer, online, exhibited superior construction in this one area. BTW: the cabin filter seemed fine.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thank you for the feedback. Looks like their quality is declining then. I will start trying other filters and recommend the better quality ones. This is why I don't take sponsors, makes it easy to keep viewers interest first. Thanks again.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Thanks so much! Now I'm going to see if you have a video on how to clean the engine and other areas under the car hood. I subscribed few minutes ago when I watched how to change the cabin filter. 😊

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Thank you for your kind words. I do not have a cleaning video, but it's simple. Don't hose off water, rather cover any electrical connections and alternator with grocery plastic bags before gently spraying engine degreaser and water. Wipe of everything. Excess water in the engine bay is not a good idea.

[@terencerice5249]

great job explaining!! thx

[@fosterewart9137]

Thank you for your videos, very informative and easy to follow. Much appreciated. Do you have any videos on how to reset Front Radar Sensor on 2017 Honda CRV? Someone removed mine from the car, however, I purchased one from the dealer and installed it myself. Now the lights are flashing on the dashboard. Do you know how to recalibrate it?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Unfortunately you need equipment to calibrate it. It doesn't have to be the dealer, some shops have Hunter made equipment for ADAS calibration. Ask around. Thanks.

[@GrumpyUSArmyVet]

Dealership wanted me to pay $90 for engine and cabin air filter for my 2021 Honda HR-V. Bought both on Amazon together for $23 and changed them myself. Went in for a $58!oil change and they “found” $1800 worth of stuff they tried to get me to fall for

[@hibiscus1638]

Thank you for your tutorial. When I clicked on your link for Amazon, there's a pull down menu for many different sizes. Do you know the size of the filter for 2018 CRV?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

@Hibiscus 2018 CR-V comes with 1.5L L4 turbo engine (most common) and also a 2.4L L4 non turbo engine (base model). Assuming you have the turbo engine the size would be 10.9x7.6x2.7in

[@zovirax2012]

👍

[@johnnyViDeO]

TY. How often should itbe done?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Depends on where you live. Once a year for normal drives, more frequently if you ride on dirt roads.

[@dfgnice4u]

I did it! I really did it 😂All by myself just like you showed me. 🙏🏼 Thank you . One question? I noticed it was missing the 4th screw, could I get one from The auto store?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

👏 congrats! You not only did it but saved some money by doing it yourself. Yes you can get the screw from home depot, Lowe's or auto store. Take out one of those screws and take it to the store to match. Good luck.

[@dfgnice4u]

@@JJCentral-DIY Thank you JJ

[@ninajacobs6277]

👍🏽

[@Chrissyteena]

Thanks so much. The only thing I’m paranoid about is the screws falling out when I loosen and pull up. Is it easy for that to happen? Didn’t look like it in the video.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Screws have a catch, so they won't fall or come out of the hole. Screw driver however can slip like you see in the video. Good luck 🤞

[@Chrissyteena]

Thanks! That’s really helpful. Haha, hoping the screwdriver doesn’t fall, but knowing me, it might 😅

[@Chrissyteena]

@@JJCentral-DIYthanks so much! I tried to open it, but the dealer must have tightened the screws a bit too much. I tried to unscrew all of them and it felt like it I turned the screwdriver more, that id strip the screws. Do you know which tool I’d need to untighten the screws? I’m assuming the tool would still be less expensive then going to the dealer

[@lesgetit]

I'm trying to replace the engine filter on my wife's 2019 (first change to my knowledge) and those 4 screws appear to be factory sealed/screwed and won't come loose with the tools I have, nor using a drill bit for help. Are there any options to get them loose/unscrewed without resorting to dealership/mechanic power tools? They won't budge at all. Great videos by the way - already changed the cabin filter. Trying to save as much as I can 😂

[@world964]

I think you need Japanese screwdriver.

[@wendyred9998]

First thank you Sec. Do A Honda Accord 2008 has a engene filter too?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Yes it does.

[@wendyred9998]

Thank you I just change all the air filters in my car Ty Ty Ty .

[@JJCentral-DIY]

@@wendyred9998 you probably just saved 200 dollars and 2 hours of your time instead of going to a dealer. Good job.

[@sophiegerits8239]

Went to do this but couldn’t get to loosen the screws.. weird because I just bought it used with 50k miles!

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Use a socket then. They are tight.

[@shabirkabiri]

Everyone if you are using a socket because it’s too tight to use screwdriver, be very careful after replacing it and tightening the screws back with socket. I just broke one of the screws head. Going to Home Depot now to hopefully find something that fits there but if anyone knows the exact screw name or sth, please let me know.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

I believe they are M5-0.80 x 25mm ( with 6mm washer). Auto part stores may call it 5x28

[@girlgonechild]

Just had this happen and came to the comments to see if someone else had it happen too. Hopefully my local auto store has some

[@shabirkabiri]

@@girlgonechild I found it on Amazon and honestly they were better than original OEM. Price wasn't bad. It comes with packet of 4 so I have 3 extra in case I break them again! lol

[@darthdawg1]

How do I know which CRV it is? It’s a 2017,

[@JJCentral-DIY]

You either have the turbo 1.5l engine or the non turbo engine. Turbo engines have screws in the air box, regular engine has clips.

[@dino6471]

my 2018 has no screws just clips. the air filter is angled so this will not work.

[@world964]

You have the non turbo version.

[@runejensen6145]

Following the link, amazon says this does not fit a Honda CRV 2017.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Filter: amzn.to/3UBQN1z or amzn.to/3rbjGUG

[@xiaoboliu4377]

I checked several videos and my 2017 CRV LX is actually pop open, screw driver is not even needed

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Awesome, you probably have the aspirated 4 cylinder engine while the turbo model uses the screws.

[@xiaoboliu4377]

@@JJCentral-DIY Thank you for your reply! That is the case! I have a 4 cylinder LX.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

@@xiaoboliu4377 the turbo EX and above model is the more common one and so you have to be careful when you order stuff from Amazon or anywhere, make sure LX is specified for proper fitment.

[@kathrynabbruzzese5007]

All my cars in the past was easy to change like in this video. HOWEVER, my Honda CVR-2018 doesn't look anything like this. See the photo above

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Most 2018 Honda CR-V have the 1.5 turbo engine like in the video. A very small percentage, I believe only in LX have the non turbo engine and may look different.

[@kathrynabbruzzese5007]

@@JJCentral-DIY I do have the LX. Can't find screws to take it off. THANKS for the help

[@kathrynabbruzzese5007]

THANK YOU, that was the issue, I have an LX. It has clamps, no screws. I just changed my filter, thanks to you

[@JJCentral-DIY]

@@kathrynabbruzzese5007 Awesome, glad you were able to do it and save some money.

Yes they charge 110 dollars just to change it no parts, thank you

[@OOO-pc3nb]

Dealer wanted 73 dollars crazy.

[@Cristian-zf9sc]

The Honda dealership is charging me 50$ when I can do it for 17$ my self .

[@razfilmstv]

My 2018 cr-v 2.4l LX looks nothing like this.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

LX is non turbo. It doesn't have screws, but clips to open the box.

[@razfilmstv]

@@JJCentral-DIY I saw some clips . Do you have a video on that one?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

@@razfilmstv no, but it is far easier to open those clips than screws. No tools needed, just buy the right filter for LX model

[@razfilmstv]

@@JJCentral-DIY You are right. I went out and looked and it will be very easy. Honda wants to charge like $100 for the air and cabin filter. Time to just do it myself. Thanks for the video.

[@rrs6635]

This is NOT for a 2020 CRV Hybrid

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Those screws can be taken off using a screw drive or a 10mm socket. Spray wd40 lubricant in the screw and let it soak for 30 minutes, then use the 10mm sockets to break loose. It will be tight the first time but then it becomes easy. You can get a cheap socket set for $10 Performance Tool W1173 SAE/Metric 40-Piece SAE and Metric Socket Set, 1/4-Inch & 3/8-Inch Drive a.co/d/gvgMM67

[@world964]

You need Japanese screwdriver or socket to loosen the screws.
