@@Harpo.jr70 I used to do it on some of my vehicles, but sometimes I am just too busy. I could do it on my truck, but the way the ram 1500 oil filter sits above, it makes a real mess. Since I only put about 3 to 5,000 mi a year on it, it's just quicker and easier to have it done at the dealer on my way to work. I do plan on changing the oil on my newly purchased Subaru Outback turbo, once the free oil changes are no longer.

As others have said, a very well done video. Clear, well narrated, and most importantly you took the time to actually give the viewer the angle they will see when doing the job themselves. 95% of how to videos show a guy with a camera to his back goin, "Okay, and now you take the flux capacitor mount and place the plutonium right here..", and of course you cannot see "right here". Seems obvious, but clearly it is not. I have a 2019 Outback, Limited 3.6R and it was dead on. Thanks, Saved me about $40.

Good video--all-in-all better than several others I reviewed before changing filters on my 2019 Outback. This would also work for many others besides the Outback. Note that on a 2019 and many earlier models, the clips for the engine air filter hinge in the opposite direction. It may be a good idea, despite the extra few minutes of work, to remove the filter box to make sure no debris fell into the box or housing. For the cabin filter, the process is basically the same, but the filter cover clips are vertical instead of horizontal, and there are small differences in mounting the glove box. Thankfully Subaru made the filters replaceable without tools. The dealer wanted about $100 more than the cost of the filters for both, which works out to about $300/hour!

The old air filter you took out had the air filter arrow pointing up. The new filter you installed you said put the arrow down. Which is it? It appears if it is a NON OEM-version vers an original OEM Subaru the direction of the arrow is different Original Subaru OEM part, arrow points up to the sky, stated in the manual. Non- OEM version arrow down for air flow direction.
@BoostedFilms6 ай бұрын
It depends on what you buy. OEM has an arrow but doesn't say "air flow direction". Most after market filters give you the air flow direction arrow (not an up arrow). If what you bought has an air flow direction arrow, it should be pointed down, like the one i installed in this video. If you bought an OEM filter and it just has an arrow, put the arrow up, as stated in the manual.

@heyg7819 Жыл бұрын
I suggest you use the OEM or similar. The system is designed to work with a specific filter, just like your HVAC system at home. Installing a heavier filter will restrict airflow and possibly damage the blower motor or decrease the life of systems protected by the filter. I change mine at least twice yearly, once for the heating and once for the cooling season or if I detect any odor. I paid $18.50 for the cabin filter at the dealer this weekend, similar to the parts stores.
