I really appreciate that you leave "the struggle" in your videos. Sometimes you watch a tutorial, and they make it look so easy, I get frustrated that it isn't easy for me lol literally, everything is a struggle for me. Mostly because I'm a ,almost, 50 yr old child lol. No patience and get distracted by stuff. Great video I need to change mine. Thanks for the reminder. Take care,you are appreciated.

[@Jaichbinhier]

The fact that Dad performed this task and didn't give up when it proved a little difficult Was helpful for if we attempt to undertake this same replacement and also face some obstacles. 🙂

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

And also... that he stayed calm and didn't swear and throw things and berate the "kids."

[@katherinestiletto]

The day these videos come out is always my fav day of the week

[@DadhowdoI]

Aww thanks for the encouragement 🙏🏻

[@Mukkod]

@@DadhowdoI i think that a good follow up video to this could be looking at washable air filters. bit more expensive but it saves over time

[@stormywonder2125]

For the longest time ive subbed to you. I thought it was weird a dude would act like a dad towards strangers on the internet. But all the info, and how to videos have helped me a lot. My dad didn’t want kids or at least he didn’t want his kids; but at least he told us that before leaving, he could have disappeared and said nothing. You’ve been the best dad i needed growing up and I’ve learned so much from you. Im glad you made your channel and i hope you have a healthy, full life. Thanks for being the dad i’ve never had.

[@Life_of_Matthew]

Aww

[@joshuaking8512]

Sorry that you had to go through that

[@SA-nd3rc]

Thanks, Dad 💙 I lost my dad when I was 12, my husband lost his dad when he was 15. We're pushing 30 and your channel (especially car videos) has helped us so much. "See if Dad has a video on it" is a regular phrase when something is screwy with our cars or sink or toilet. Thanks for being the internet's dad.

[@spiffocyte5238]

My dad died when I was 2 and I just turned 30. These have helped me too. 😂

[@SlimmJim420]

For ever grateful to have a dad like you! Thanks!!

[@DadhowdoI]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@madelynlatiolais9914]

It's going on 2 years since I've decided to go no contact with my biological father. Earlier this year, the man I was ready to call my (step) dad was in a fatal car wreck. These videos have always been a wonderful helping hand for me - I've had to do and learn it all myself.... Yesterday, I changed my first car air filter. :) Thank you

[@jaxper7642]

I come for the dad-jokes and I stay for the life-advice! You’re the best dad!

[@solayala317]

I literally just ordered mine frm Amazon and was going to look up how to do it and then u just blessed me with this video. Many thanks!

[@sasharae99]

Same!! 😄

[@gumballcrux6813]

Thank you for spending your time teaching us how to do things. Even with a dad around, he was not present or had the patience to teach. I remember when I was six, he was "teaching" me the alphabet and he literally just yelled at me and sometimes he would take out his anger on me... it scarred me. Now anytime someone is teaching me anything I get so nervous and jittery I feel like I'm gonna get it... glad your videos are calm and you sound patient even when things dont turn out how you want them.

[@arixgrandepov]

i agree 110%

[@HighMileageOffroad]

Mad respect for this channel and helping strangers with father figure issues 👍🏻 I'm lucky enough to have a dad but I feel for those that dont!

[@pilargallegos2090]

I JUST FOUND THESE VIDEOS YOURE THE BEST ! I don’t have a dad and this just made my day

[@regina_filange2.0]

So, I sub'd this channel way back, Loved the concept but rarely checked in. I'm lucky b/c my Dad taught me a lot. Fast forward and he is helping me raise my sons b/c I'm a single parent. Fast forward a bit more, and sadly he passed away a few months back. I was in tears today b/c I never learned how to change an air filter. So I went to KZbin to find a tutorial, and this channel appears first. You like, just posted it. I feel like it was his way of telling me he's still here. It could've been any channel, but it wasn't... it was yours. So, thank you "KZbin Dad" for your content, for me and my kiddos, and thank you for the smile today.

[@oobaka1967]

Dad is a good man for helping people with these videos. There's also a cabin air filter that should be changed. It's usually located inside and behind the glove compartment

[@jdfreeman97]

Nice! I work on my own vehicles all the time and thanks to many father figures in my life I have been able to do it all myself. You should do the cabin air filter next as sooo many times it gets neglected and will grow mold over time! Do a video on it and so many people will breathe easier with a clean cabin filter.

[@mikekasich836]

my cars intake broke off the bolts so it's super easy to pull it up and swap the filter 😂 probably not healthy for the car but

[@faithcasco2776]

I’m in tears, I had a very abusive dad growing up and was placed in foster care at 11. There’s so many things I had to learn on my own and I always wished I had a dad or male figure in my life to ask on how to fix things like my car or do things around the house. I’m 23 and this channel Has helped me soo much. Thanks Dad

[@Life_of_Matthew]

Love how he finishes the videos with "God bless you" 😊

[@haleymcaninch2677]

This is amazing!! Thank you!!!! I have a toyota sienna and the last time I got an oil change they wanted to charge me $95.00 and I knew I could find a video teaching me how to do it myself, and here you are with the perfect video for me!! I love this channel so much!! 💕💕

[@durschfalltv7505]

90$ is a normal price. Since it takes like 30 minutes of work. The oil also costs like 30 dollars and the filter's also cost like 30dollars. 15 for the Air filter and 15 for the oil filter. Which adds up to 60$ and 30 dollars for half a hour of mechnical labour is a good price for you as a consumer.

[@durschfalltv7505]

Also they need to dispose of the oil. Which isnt always as easy. And sometimes costs money. You can however burn it mixed with gasoline in you're lawnmover after you filter it.

[@haleymcaninch2677]

@@durschfalltv7505 sorry I meant that during the oil change they said I also needed an air filter too and just the air filter was an additional $95 on top of my oil change.

[@durschfalltv7505]

@@haleymcaninch2677 Ok thats a rip of what car do you drive?

[@marsdoria189]

Informative video. A few years ago I learned how to change my car's cabin air filter, engine air filter, wiper blades, and every lightbulb. It saved me a lot of money because I didn't have to pay for "labor costs."

[@khajasmith3318]

Saw your channel mentioned in an online daily devotional this morning and came right over. New subscriber...and I'm sharing with others. This type of channel is NECESSARY.

[@kerrijoy4988]

Great video! I was told last oil change I needed a new filter soon so I was thinking I could probably just do it myself and here you are with a video teaching how to do it! And I totally can do it on my own! Thank you so much! And thank you for being a blessing to all those that need a father figure. Also I loved the dad joke!

[@jerosjulianjr.infante7971]

Dad is out here doing the Lord's work. What an inspiring concept for a KZbinr

[@ROKillUminati47]

Thank you, Dad ! Your videos are very helpful !!!

[@DadhowdoI]

You're welcome, thank you for the encouragement 🙏🏻

[@acehawker3181]

i've never watched you, but based on the stories surrounding you, you are one of the best people I've ever heard of.

[@BunnyFilms]

It is so much more practical to get the filters on your own and replace them yourself instead of doing it at the dealership! Plus you can even look to see if they need to be replaced!

[@essencepentzz]

My dad was incarcerated when I was 15 and you don’t understand how much your videos help me!!! I really appreciate everything you do keep being great !!!!!

[@kaitlincordova3879]

Really glad to see all the tedious struggle with this. Gives me an honest idea of what I can expect, and decide if I want to do it myself or pay someone else to do it.

[@adrianmartinez5765]

I'm really glad you continue making videos. I love the content. It's rare to find time out if my busy days working to get to your dad jokes

[@ravensis]

Thank you for these videos! Even when they're something I don't yet need to know, I watch them to learn something even more important: how to teach my kids how to do stuff. Thanks for helping so many of us learn what that looks like.

[@leonardocudia]

Guys, respect for this man.✊🏻

[@ohcyris]

First time I had to do it myself and I didn't know how to. I was harmlessly looking for a tutorial on YT on how to do it and came across yours. Having no Dad myself I had to learn a lot of things on my own. Needless to say I look dumb crying as I changed em filters. Thank you very much for being here.

[@KillaKi30]

I needed this video literally yesterday! I just changed my filters and had my mom help me with one of them

[@mr.goodman3991]

These videos are great for people who don’t have dads and for people who just want to know

I am standing here reading about you in October's issue of the daily bread and I chose to look for you on KZbin and subscribe because I think that some of your videos would be very beneficial to my son I am a single mom thank you so much!!

[@vannrose2158]

This channel has saved me so many times.

[@kateleo915]

Hi dad. Show them how to do a cabin filter too, please and thank you! Most people don't realize they have a filter behind their glove box that also has to be changed.

[@thenightshift1819]

You Sir should get an award! What a fantastic idea for a channel. I have to say thank you! Your channel is invaluable!

Cars have two air filters. The engine air filter and the cabin air filter. This is how to change your engine air filter.

[@mikekasich836]

some (cheap) cars don't have a cabin air filter

[@blohnnie7395]

I need more of this channel in my life.

[@trishb45]

Thank you, Dad. Oil change folks told me the air filter couldn’t be changed as a screw was tight , felt it would break and thus didn’t change it. I fell for their ineptness. Not again! Thanks, Dad!

[@Marcielle_Makes]

Bless you kind sir!

[@DadhowdoI]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@anonymustly7818]

2004 Subaru 6 cylinder it's front engine driver's side. In addition to bolts, there are sometimes friction clips. If replacement not immediately available, filter can be cleaned with a vacuum or blown clean with compressed air. Driving conditions will affect how often an air filter needs to be changed. I'm in a rural area with a lot of gravel roads and I change mine 4x a year.

[@meghannsherman]

I always change both filters on my own and keep track of when they need to be changed.

[@user-mn5ed9hq1s]

Thanks Dad!!

[@henrie.c]

Just saw a post about your channel so I decided to stop by and say...I so needed this when I was a little girl, but I think it's needed more now that I have a vehicle and I'm single lol!!! *Please do a video for a Honda CR-V 2014, thanks!

Thanks dad! 👍

[@scfire304]

This is all the stuff my dad tried teaching me when I was younger..but I didn’t care then. Kicking myself now that I’m older.

[@rtyria]

First time I went to get my (first) car's oil change the mechanic asked me if I wanted the air filter checked. "Air filter?" I have no idea why it surprised me that cars have air filters when even my vacuum cleaner has an air filter. Any way I took careful notes as the mechanic pulled it out and changed it. Yours looked down right clean in comparison. In my old Honda Civic, it's actually accessed from the glove box.

[@DadhowdoI]

That is actually a cabin filter for the inside of your car. The air filter is for your engine.
