I own a 2020 Outback and was going to be charged $150 to change both filters. I decided to try myself and wow! Was this so easy with your video. First tike I've ever done anything on a car. Easy peasy!! Thank you!

Thank you so much you were very clear with your instructions. I am an 80-year-old woman and I will not be intimidated to do this myself once I get my wilderness Crosstrek. Need to save money wherever possible and I’m sure I will be on many dirt roads yipeee!

This is the best "how-to" video I have ever seen on KZfaq for a Subaru Outback. The step-by-step directions are very clear & comprehensive. The filming has great lighting and super camera angles. You should be very proud of this video. (I have the same make and model Subaru Outback as featured in this video).

As a 70yo woman, the dealer wanted to charge me over $130 to replace both filters on my 2021 Outback. Amazon to the rescue, and all it cost me was

Thank you for being clear about the airflow. So many videos don't explain that, and I know there's so many people that don't know much about vehicles.

I have a 2021 Outback. This was an excellent video with very detailed instructions. You just saved me a bundle of money from my warranty service.

BY FAR the best how-to video I have ever seen on KZfaq. So clear, comprehensive, and has great lighting and camera angles. You should be very proud of this video. I did not need a such great video to change the cabin air filter. but I know I could give my 12-year-old niece a screwdriver (just for prying) and this video and she could change both filters correctly !!!

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.

Very clear and sure gave me peace of mind knowing that I can do it myself without paying the dealer a small forturne.

Thank you for being so thorough! This is the best instructional video I've seen for this task.

2020 Outback and it worked just as you showed. I would have had trouble without your video. Thanks....bought the filters for $28 on Amazon...same as the ones you showed. Subaru wanted about $110. Thanks

Big thank you! Our Subaru Dealership just tried to up-sell my spouse for $200 to change these filters, just bought them and will use the video to change them myself. Really appreciate you making this content and linking the parts you used.

big thumbs up to you. I am facing 30k mile service on my '20 Outback and eager to reduce costs; if I can do this much on my own ( and cabin filter ) I will have saved a bundle. thank you so much for "dumbing it down" for me; I have zero aptitude for this type of thing and your video is incredibly helpful.

I've been changing the filters on my 2012 Kia for years. I just needed to know where the engine air filter was. Easy stuff. Thank you.

Thanks for such a well produced and thought out How To video. You avoided all the typical home video issues, so thanks for making our lives easier.

Thanks for the video. I’m changing mine from now on. The dealership charges $50 each to do these. Rock Auto sells the filters for under $10 each. Bye bye dealership.

Thank my 2023 Subbie wilderness outback filter location is just like your2022. Very easy, so was changing cabin filter, saved about 60.00 doing myself. And now I know🥰

I have a 2023 Outback Touring and this worked for me, thanks! Saved me $65 in labor that the oil change place wanted to charge me 🙄

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!

Excellent. Made me realize just how simple this replacement is for both filters. Thank You

I just traded in my 2016 Outback for a 2024. The process is exactly the same for both filters. Good video.

Paul, thanks for your video as it helped me and I am sure others too. FYI, it is the same change out process for the air filter on my 2021 Subaru Outback, 2.4L Turbo engine and the cabin air filter.

This is how you do a how to video! I don’t even own an outback but hoping these tricks work for the 2024 Crosstrek!

excellent guide! was unsurprisingly the same on my 2020.

I just changed the cabin air filter. Easy! Now I will do the engine. Great step by step video.

Great instructions. You do very well at keeping an even flow with your delivery. I feel very confident I can replace both filters at this point thank you so much.

Saved $100 by doing it myself. Thanks

Well done Paul, excellent video-easy to follow the detailed, step-by step instructions

Thank you for such a clear and articulate video!

Awesome video. Your filming and explanation is top notch for a beginner and intermediate viewer.

Great explanation Paul. I am changing my filters tomorrow. I will let you know how it went. Thanks, FF MisterP. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="797">13:17</a>

This video is incredible thank you! So thorough and slow and great angles and video quality! Thank you!!

I like how you cover all the bases. Very informative to those who want to DIY. Well done and keep it up.

Great video. Clear, sharp photography and easy-to-follow instructions. You have a new subscriber.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. You left nothing for me to worry about. 😀

Thank you. Works for a 2024 Subaru Legacy.

GREAT VIDEO, one of the better ones I've seen on KZfaq. I would be grateful to see the procedure to change the air filter on a 2022 Subaru outback turbo. thank you!

Helpful video. Unreal how much they charge for this at the dealer.

Same for my Forester Sport 2023! Cheers from Puerto Rico!

You got a like and a comment because even I can follow your instructions. Great job.

You gentleman are an amazing teacher!!! Thank you so much!

Excellent video with very clear instructions.

Great detail on the step by step. Thank you!

Thank you very much. This video is so useful.

Great easy to follow video. This process work just as you demonstrated for my 2020 Outback Onyx edition (same color as yours 🙂) Changed both filters in a few minutes. Thanks Paul!

Perfect instructions for my 2020 outback turbo

Super helpful video, same process worked on a 2021 Subaru Impreza

Nicely done! Thanks

Worked on my 2022 outback wilderness turbo. Thanks!

Awesome thank you on my 2022 Outback Wilderness the engine air filter same spot just looked slightly different but all went on the same!! Thank you

good point on the air flow direction.

cracking video, just got my Gen 6 2022 Outback today. Def different from my 2019 Gen 5 -- thought my K&N was re-usable, but nope need a new one.

Thank you for this, saved me a ton

Super helpful! I appreciate your attention to detail 🤙🏾

2021 Ascent and it worked great. Thanks.

Thanks .. mine look real bad. Not sure , they just charged me and not bother to change. I bought some 4 of them for my 2016 outback 3.6L .. I saw mileage drop by nearly 10% and some power too. Hope to get my 30mile / gallon again. I change my oil since last 3 changes.

Excellent. Thank you!!

This same procedure works for my 2014 Outback, just some minor differences in appearance.

Awesome video! Thanks!!

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

Thank you! Very easy to understand.

Great detailed explanation.

Thanks I have same year and engine in my outback 😅

Very helpful, thanks!

Excellent job. Great advice!

Excellent video. Thanks.

This was the same process for changing both of these filters on my 2022 Outback Wilderness

Easy breezy 👌 thank you!

I have a 1997 Subaru Legacy. My “ski mobile”. It is not like your video but kind of similar. It’s supposed to have two clips. I can’t for my life take this apart. I even had my 6’6 son in law try to get it open. No go. I don’t know if I’m missing anything but I’m sure after years it needs to be done. I’ll keep searching.😢

This is great!! Thank you!

Very nicely presented 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wow, not hard at all. Thank you

Thanks for great video.

Thanks. nice job!

You are very best working

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.

Hello, do you think this way works out same to my 2022 subaru impreza base trim? Thanks for the video!!

Nice Video, particularly the cabin filter. I just picked up the set for my wife's Subie, they seem very flimsy. Would you recommend the carbon filter in your video?

I have a 2010 Outback and do not have the second permanent filter. I have the check engine light going off (P0420), but am told it is not a catalytic converter issue, but likely a mixture issue. Any idea what that filter does and if it is necessary? Possibly a reason why the check engine light is going off?

Thumps up,

I’m a first time 2023 Subaru outback owner as far as the double mesh filter that also a separate filter that you need to buy?

Whats the purpose of the inside mess if you have a air filter already??? Restricted air flowww ????

On the one you took out arrows were pointing up on filter! The one you put in you said the arrows pointed down, which is it??

Same as the 2.4L turbo?

Newbie here. When to change engine air filter? After a year?

be VERY careful not to let any junk fall down the ductwork under it or you will have to pull the blower motor to clean it...not fun

Would this work for the turbo version?

NOBODY CALLS IT CABIN HVAC FILTER ITS SIMPLY CABIN AIR FILTER

Used this for the cabin filter a few months ago and just did the engine filter now. Subaru wanted $900 for the 30k service 😂 🤡. I paid $350 at a reputable shop for everything except the engine filter and did that myself for $20. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more to go to the dealership but nearly 2.5x as much? Get out of here.

Hey i followed your intructions and now my car wont start ?
