You're MENTAL if you don't change this - A/C Cabin Filter

[@lunabird89]

First time owning a car after 3 years . Never knew about it until I got my oil change . They wanted to charge 80$ . Went home did it for myself 10$

[@equityjam]

booooyaaaa nice work

[@Tay234.]

Don’t ever have a mechanic change it. It’s not worth $100. Do it yourself

[@Iknowyoumadnow]

If you can't do it then you're slow 🧠

[@carlovanrijk4039]

Yep, it’s a 5 minute job. Pretty simple to do it yourself, and you saved about $80-$90 from the dealer price. 🤨

[@Iknowyoumadnow]

​@@carlovanrijk4039uh ...no shit, it's not like it's rocket science, tf

​@@Iknowyoumadnowuntil you change one on a Nissan product 😂

​@@DM-id3yw Yup, my friend has a Nissan Maxima and the struggle was real.

My husband and my new car has 3 of these filters (SUV) so we aren’t gonna replace them quite as often as I used to on my lil cars with one, however the previous owner I can tell probably never changed them 😳 They were sooo dusty. Easiest 15 minutes of my life. Waiting to change the air filters too

[@HelloNewWorldPodcast]

Just change mines a lot better now

[@Joefishing]

🙃😏 I didn’t change mine for 10 years you think that’s dirty 😅

[@yungvalid1284]

Who says mental bro everyone knows it’s sped

[@MarzNet256]

You can hold the old and new filter up to the sun and see how much light is blocked. It is a good indicator of how clogged the filter is.

[@gorgch606]

It's not that expensive🫥

[@juelzd7172]

Local oil shop wanted to charge me $50 to change it. Na I’ll get one from Amazon for $10

[@kfrownley]

I've heard some people say do it every other oil change, but that seems kind of excessive unless you live somewhere super dusty or humid

[@juelzd7172]

I say once a year should be l fine

[@MarzNet256]

I do mine every 10k miles.

[@carlovanrijk4039]

I do mine about every year to 18 months.

[@kenmorrisproducer]

I guess it depends on the oil change interval.

[@marktupapi5609]

Theoretically, a clogged filter catches more debris lol but yeah change it

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

We learn that the hard way I had to replace the blower motor after we replaced the hvack system. In a 2002 Honda Odyssey. Had oem filter since the factory.

[@MystycalMage]

I haven’t ever changed mine and I’ve had the car for 12 years. 😲😲😲

[@philschiavone101]

My mechanics try to make me change my filters every 5000 miles.

[@banguyen8005]

I go to mechanic shop for 20 years. They never told me about this filter need to be change. I think the mechanic guy doesn’t know it existed

[@ryanherrera6357]

Does that cause it to blow hot air if you don't change it?

[@sebastienlegrandngembou9131]

They charge me 77$ for that

[@haroldharwell7078]

I like to put a Little Trees in the filter compartment with a new filter.... easy thing to do.

[@matlocke132]

I won't flow as good even if it's a little bit

[@mannys9130]

It would be better to just buy liquid fragrance and put a few drops/sprays onto the filter material itself. Won't block the airflow like a tree will.

@@steezydan8543 I gave your mother a ride , been smelling like a nutsack ever since. I had to do something.

[@condor5635]

Every year is not necessary. I just blow mine clean with my air compressor. Every three months works great.

[@Tyler-nh6oy]

Not every car has one, I’ve busted more than one quick oil change place for trying to change my cabin air filter for $50 on a car that doesn’t even have one, they even grab a dirty one off a shelf and tell you its yours. Good way to get a heavily discounted or free oil change if you’re smart enough to act dumb enough for them to try to scam you though.

[@blazeupdawg]

Mechanic at jiffy lube offered to replace it for $50 while it costs $10 at advanced auto parts and it’s easy to replace

[@andreawilliams4227]

I learned this with my last car, kept smelling damp and moldy..so now I change them yearly or as needed..

[@thehegt]

Just replaced my friend cabin air filter in Her TSX and is 10X dirty than in the video

[@carlovanrijk4039]

😵😵

[@poojaroy6311]

We use it every month 😁 love from india

[@markm0000]

When you do this please wear a N95 mask because I didn’t and that dust and nasty stuff got in my throat and lungs.

[@sandyimrie5320]

What's the video called? Can't find it in your "Video" list.

[@brittanyschofield9469]

Can a dirty filter cause a burning smell?

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

I suppose… but more likely that something is burning…

[@MudDuck]

I hope you and your family are ok? Please let us know

[@andrewjoseph5531]

Change it more like 15k miles 😂not every year. Again depending on how you drive where you drive etc.

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

Depending on “how” you drive ?? 😬

[@erica864]

Every year! HA!

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

Best practice of course.:)

[@Vanq78]

I think I have changed mine once in 7-8 years

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

Nice!

[@MLKM4N]

If I drop something small and light into the middle ac vent will it end up in the filter?? Can someone get back to me on this

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

No. The filter catches things coming in from outside (usually right below the windshield)

[@MLKM4N]

@@BudgetMechanicHawaii is there any way to retrieve an item from the middle vents without removing the whole dash?

[@MLKM4N]

@@BudgetMechanicHawaii its not metal so I can't use a magnet im just lost it was kind of important but I think I'm sol

[@brisimon3832]

Appreciate you

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

Thanks!

[@iAmFAUST]

So why not just go filterless like we did many years before this bs?

[@HVACR_LIFE]

Because your car will be full of dirt and smells.. Common sense

[@iAmFAUST]

@@HVACR_LIFE old cars didn't smell

[@profound369]

I change it once a month. I buy a big home filter panel, then cut multiples in the same dimensions as my OEM filter. I get 4-6 of the best quality filters for about $5 each

[@sunshinem3958]

So you call us mental because we didn’t know about these filters?

[@Iknowyoumadnow]

You're sped ed

[@HVACR_LIFE]

You took it to seriously
