Jeep Wrangler Cabin Air Filter Install is SO EASY! Do It Yourself and Save Money

[@BTD53]

You’ll be surprised how much dust and dirt they trap next time you change them. Just got to say, you’re not the only one who cleans parts when working on a Jeep/car. My wife makes fun of me, calls me Mr. OCD. I really enjoy your videos ! I look forward to them, good stuff !

[@AutoEdits]

LOL! Glad to hear it's not just me. Thanks a ton!

[@hellhawk1023]

i have a 2014 wrangler sport. put in the K&N reusable cabin air filters about a month ago. they cost a little bit more money but you never have to buy them again, just wash and re-use. im glad i watched this video because i thought that it was an issue that my jeep didnt have filters from the factory. seeing that yours didnt either, i now know its a normal thing lol

[@AdrianJr]

Have my ac on full blast yet the wind speed was sooo low. Discovered I have a filter in the cabin. And this video has my ac blowing on level 3 blowing way harder then it was on full blast. If you ever seen my filter you guys would suggest I start a fire with it. It as baddddddd hollllly shyyyyyyyt. 😖 Thanks for the video bro. 💯💯💯

[@AutoEdits]

Glad it helped!

[@AdrianJr]

@@AutoEdits 2018 Wrangler brand new off the line. Never changed the filter once. And I love being roofless with the ac on. I could have used that filter as a Firestarter for years to come. Cut off a small square at a time 🤣 Thanks for the vid a again 🙏🏾💯

[@graybeard73]

The K&N filters are more expensive and fit a bit tighter, but if you drive in dusty conditions, they will pay for themselves after 3 or 4 paper filters. You pull a lot of dust through the cowl vent. That dust will eventually begin clogging the a/c - heater coils and cause premature problems with that system. K&N states you do not oil then like the air filters, but they sell an air freshener, if you like smelling that stuff.

[@mushtang2]

My air filters arrived today and I installed them in about 4 minutes, easy peasy, thanks Jason! Also, the air flow arrows point down - I had to look that up.

[@scalejedi3849]

My wife told me the glove box will not close ok I'll ck it out.I went out to look and behold i looked and saw a filter there what ck it out still clean i live in chicago.But i was watching your videos i found you replacing the filter the video is 3 years old wow. 6/11/21.Thats why your videos are the best. Thanks my jeep is a 2016 wrangler.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much!

[@christinemartin6397]

I did not know about this on my 2011 jeep wrangler jk.. I just now went to check and used my air compressor.. Blew a waffle full of dust into my face and my air flow is know blasting again. This was very useful info.. 👍🏼

[@AutoEdits]

Your welcome! Thanks so much for taking a minute to comment!

[@abnpthfdr2934]

It does get pretty dusty at the Florida Mall. I've been wheelin' there since I bought my JKU in '09, so I think it's time to do this to mine. Haha. On a serious note, I asked at the local auto parts stores and both told me that it was not available because there wasn't a cabin filter on the Jeep!!! Time to go to back and get this. Thanks for the info and the video.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks for watching and saying hey!

[@BCBell]

Only Jason can get me excited to see a video about changing out a filter. Love your channel, man!

[@AutoEdits]

Awesome... your comment got me fired up!

[@stevens15007]

Thanks just did the job, Jeep clearly have never changed it during Service. Top video

[@AutoEdits]

Glad it helped!

[@mikemacpherson7135]

I was curious to find out if I had a cabin air filter in my 2015 Wrangler Sport.... turns out I don’t. Another interesting fact ... my Jeeps heater controls do not offer recirculate versus fresh. I simply turn the fan off to access the air filter area....!!! New lesson learned....😄. As always... thanks for the great video Jason!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you for checking it out... never heard of a no recirc option.

[@Hawk130Gaming]

Another home run. Extremely high-quality videos.

[@AutoEdits]

You rule! Thanks!!!!

[@BustedWalletGarage]

Old cars also had a floor vent with a screen on it. You'd drive down the road and open the vent and air would blow up your pants leg ( cuz all men worn slacks back then ). When the screen rusted away wasp would be injected straight into your pants , resulting in many one-car accidents.

[@AutoEdits]

Oh man, there you go again. You know you keep setting the bar higher and higher with the comedy! Keep it up and thanks!

[@BustedWalletGarage]

autoedit funny ? That's a terrible thing to happen !

[@AutoEdits]

Um, yes... yes that would be terrible.

[@tonymartinez5798]

@bustedwalletgarage wasps, americas tru threat.

[@1EddieMan]

Hey Jason... Great vid as always :) Just wanted to mention that these filters are directional-flow specific (not really sure whether or not it truly matters). On the side of the filters, they have a directional air flow arrow indicator. Just FYI.

[@AutoEdits]

It probably matters... lol Good reminder since I forgot to mention it in the video. Sometimes I just assume people get certain things but it's better to explain! These are in the direction of the arrows.

[@andrewmcneel2618]

@@AutoEdits So, what way IS the arrow s'posed to point???

[@BigEarl325is]

Andrew McNeel seriously. This is the only thing I was hoping to learn from the video.

[@rlmccall]

Air flows from top to bottom, so the flow arrow should point down.

[@peachesgotti]

[@AutoEdits]

I'm curious what you found!

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

I installed these in my 2011 JK in 2016 and have just been thinking I should check them and get new ones if necessary. A project for next week.

[@AutoEdits]

It can be a project for whenever you have 7 minutes! I'll be curious as to how one's look after that long.

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

Yes, a very easy install for sure. I'll drop a line when I take them out next week... working the weekend :(

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

Here's what they look like Jason. photos.app.goo.gl/sviWeI48hIJAemjs1 Not bad considering. If it wasn't for the filters the cabin would have been dustier for sure.

I love your your videos I will be a new Jeep owner soon, I’m excited to add on a lot of things that I’ve learned

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks and so glad to hear about you getting a Jeep! I hope enjoy it as much as I do!

[@ExploringJeeps]

Nice video. I need to do this on our Jeep. My old Jeep had these from the factory with the auto climate controls(totally not worth it) I replaced them once with carbon filtered ones for even snootier air, but they really restricted the air flow too much to recommend them. Your next super easy upgrade should be headliners. They make a big difference with the heat, and help with some noise. It’s way cheaper to do it yourself with mopar part or aftermarket than getting it from the factory.

[@AutoEdits]

Good suggestion, thanks!

[@Z06phile]

Thanks! I just did this on my wife's '17 JKU Rubi HR. Easy job!

[@utvolume]

It's on my To Do List for tomorrow! Checking and installing on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler

[@AutoEdits]

Good luck... let me know how it goes! I've had a few comments of odd Jeep set ups that couldn't access that filter area.

[@Ro3Go]

AutoEdits just bought and installed them today. Well, first off my Jeep never had the air filters installed. None. Nada! So I installed these bad boys just like your Jeep and it was easy without any tools. Did it while at the store parking lot. We’ll see if it slows down any allergens. Thanks for the video.

[@AutoEdits]

Really glad to hear this! Feels good doesn't it!

[@redmagi8655]

Thanks Again Jason! I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't know it had one either! Quick amazon order and done!

[@Nerdime]

😂super helpful and informative. When I saw how dirty the filter was I was glad I finally replaced it.

[@AutoEdits]

Glad it helped!

[@tazin8r]

Awesome video. Thanks very much. I think one thing you missed was to check for an airflow direction arrow on the filter. Some filters have to be installed in the correct orientation

[@AutoEdits]

Great point!

[@marioc1731]

Is the airflow going up or down? I would think up right?

[@tazin8r]

Admittedly I haven't looked on my Jeep yet, but on most other cars that I've owned the airflow is top down. If you think about it the fresh air enters through the vents at the back of the bonnet (sorry, hood). When any debris like leaves and twigs get in they would sit on top of the filter

[@danielrice5474]

I'll have to look for my Evel Knievel action figure. Haven't seen it for over 40 years. Never thought to put it glove box.

Love the awesome videos. Keep up the good work.

[@Nickc144]

Good video. Some cabin filters have an arrow for air flow direction, that might be worth noting when installing them.

[@AutoEdits]

Great reminder ! I did put them in according to the arrows and just guessed people would get that but appreciate the comment.

[@David__U]

Oops. Didn't see these comments when I just added mine about the arrows. (but I also wrote about an inexpensive option, so I won't delete it.)

[@younghex9577]

Which direction did you put the arrows up the the sky or down to the floor?

[@VisualOverland]

I realized my 17 JKU didn't come with any filters when I installed my Cobra CB. Wondered why It's so dusty in my glove box and inside the Jeep. So many desert trips and no filters!

[@juliezehendner898]

Great info!:) thanks

[@AutoEdits]

No problem!

[@timowen1]

A good video but he says he never checked for a cabin air filter but yet when he opens the air box there are no old filters in place. I replaced mine, it was factory original and a one piece filter. But a very well done and informative video.

[@nickg5275]

Nice video I know it’s old but I’m checking mine and it looks different. I have a 2010 and your mesh screen is hexagons while mine are tiny squares. And there is no tabs to open it. Can’t find any video with my setup. Any help?

[@StlrNtn95]

I dont know if those filters are but a lot of them are made for the air to flow in one direction and they need to be placed with a particular side facing down.

[@AutoEdits]

Good reminder... yes they generally have arrows pointing the direction for air flow and I forgot to mention that in this video.

Hey Autoedit! My '15 Rubicon new off the truck didn't come with these. I didn't find out until my second oil change when the service tech asked if I wanted them changed. I said sure since they're cheap. He came back and said there wasn't any to change out. I phoned Chrysler and the rep said my jeep should have come with filters. So I complained and asked to get some for free too no avail. But the technician said not to worry because driving around with no top defeats having any air filters anyways so I just said screw it. He said mine was not the only jeep he has seen new without them. I'm wondering if it is a Rubicon / Sahara thing?

[@willdamian1066]

What if the flapper doesn’t go up and down by itself? The recycle button flashes the light
