Thank you for the kind words! I think we all are guilty of letting them go too long... now that I think about it, I might need to check the house AC filter, too!

Thanks for watching and really glad you’ve got a great dealer! I would add a side note to be sure that no leaves or debris fall into the blower motor when changing the cabin filter. It’s apparently a hazard with this design. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching and sharing your unfortunate experience. We can definitely understand why your username is WantsANewVehicle after that experience! I have, only once, needed to put my foot down at a dealership for attempting to charge me for a service that I did pre-authorize. It was many years ago, and they did drop the charge, so while it wasn't a good feeling at the time they did make it right for me. Never again did that dealer perform a service without first getting my expressed approval. In your shoes, I would have done the same thing and refused to pay for a service I didn't pre-authorize! At the very least, I would not have agreed to pay the labor or bogus clean-up fee. Not every dealership treats their customers the same, and I hope your experience with them improves or you find a dealer that treats you right from the start. Take care and stay safe!

Try 170 for both of them. They pulled them out as part of their "world class inspection." I am allergic to dust but no way I am paying that. Rotten tomatoes Rick case hyundai plantation, FL! Rotten tomatoes!

@@ritheshmanikandan6006 Wow. That's just plain robbery right there. Rotten is 100% accurate. Glad you refuse to fall for it. Stay safe with the dust and we're glad the episodes help keep some money in your pocket. Stay safe out there and away from that dealer.

Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We're happy it was of help to you. Stay safe!

@tiffanyjoycam Woo Hoo. That's fantastic. Great job, Tiffany, and thank you for watching and sharing with us. We really appreciate it!

Hi tjs114. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. We really appreciate it. That sounds like you have an amazing dealer right there. There are very few out there that truly focus on the customer before profits. I wouldn't go anywhere else if I had that dealer. 😁. Stay safe out there!

They sound like a wonderful dealership. Fantastic customer service! My dealership just quoted me $55 to replace the cabin air filter which was coverd in debris from the trees by my driveway. Plus another $95 to vacuum out the debris they said had fallen down into the AC blower motor. This brought me to here view this video while in sitting in the customer lounge waiting for my complementary oil change to be completed. Thank you for the tip on the more cost effective filter. You and @SpiritedWrenchers just saved me around $135. I watched a quick 10 minute video about how to remove and clean the AC blower motor, before finding this informative filter replacement video. Edit: I just sent @SpiritedWrenchers a few $ as a thank you.

@@wsimmons3347 Thank you for sharing your story with us and we're so thankful that you found our video just in time to save some big money. We love it when our episodes have that result. We've also been told this by our dealer about cleaning out the blower motor. We're going to create and pin a post tagging you and tjs114 to it with your info on lesser filter and the cost of having the dealer clean it all out. Those will help out our community a lot. Stay safe out there and thank you once again for the incredibly kind Super Thanks!

Thanks for this! My dealer was gonna charge me $53 for the filter and another $20 for labor.

@@Bitoypalaboy Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words as well as your journey with us. We really appreciate it. Glad to help you save some money and learn something new at the same time. 🙂. Stay safe out there!

Hi Eric, thanks for watching and the feedback! This is precisely the reason we love to create these videos. Hope that you've subscribed to be notified of our upcoming Santa Fe maintenance videos! Take care, stay safe, and happy New Year!

Thank you so very much William. You were our first to ever send us one. That means a great deal to us! Cheers!

Hi lakeseminole. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it!

Lol. Sorry, Burke. We'll work harder next time. The dealer has been doing the new car maintenance, so I never questioned it if it was not being replaced until now. 🤦‍♂️

Amen to that. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it!

@@SpiritedWrenchers always!

Thank you John for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it!

Thanks for watching brother. I love how simple the engine filter is. Normally I'm used to stupid tabs that seem hard to compress in order to get to it. The spins in the glove box also are a breeze. Nothing hard to line up. I was impressed. I'm not surprised about Mercedes. Everything has to be over the top for them. Lol.

Hi Yulimar; thank you for watching and a fantastic question! The owner's manual states to check your coolant when you stop for fuel (this interval is also quoted for checking the engine oil level, but we feel it's a little too frequent for the standard driver), and for the turbo engines to replace the coolant first at 80,000 miles or 10 years (whichever comes first) and then every 24,000 miles after that. As far as ensuring you are using the proper grade/color of coolant, we would recommend that you call your local dealership to see if you can purchase it directly from them or if they would offer an alternative brand you can more readily purchase from an auto parts store. This is really the best way to ensure that the coolant you are adding meets the specifications for your vehicle and prevent any undue corrosion that can cause leaks and/or major issues down the road. Take care and stay safe!

Hi Bonzo. Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it greatly. Congrats on your new 23 Calli. Foe that box, it's actually the cover for your positive battery post/terminal. It's so large because of the fusible links that are on the battery cables. We were actually happy to see a cover because our Subaru doesn't have a cover protecting it all. The plastic was just a protective cover during shipping and such. We still have ours on, but I don't believe there is any concern if it was taken off. Hope you get many safe miles from your Calli and we appreciate you following us on the channel for more content.

Hi Kathy. Thank you so much for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it. That is insane to charge that much for those 2 filters and to replace them. We're thankful that this video gave you the confidence to do it yourself and keep some money in your pocket. Stay safe out there!

Hi Andy, Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it. You can definitely do this yourself. Very easy. In regards to the filters, I'm not familiar with those from Canadian Tire, but the cheaper you go there is a noticeable difference in material quality. Some are very basic and thin, resulting in less filtration. Although we don't feel there is a requirement to go OEM, their products are well made. The prices also weren't far off from brand names at the auto parts stores such as Fram, STP, etc. I have also gone to parts stores and pulled them out of the boxes to compare as well as price comparison. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there.

Hello! Thanks for watching and asking! There are definitely a handful of ways to get the OEM filters. I walked into our local dealership parts department and got the filters I needed from the service rep at the counter, but if you're not in close proximity or if you just don't like your local dealer then you could definitely order them online from a distributor like hyundaioempartsdirect. I have heard on Facebook of reports that not all dealers will have a reliable parts department fully stocked with all the filters and parts needed for DIY maintenance, or that the local prices are above MRSP, and that's when I would recommend ordering online (and probably buying in bulk to save on shipping). Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching Byron. I was surprised at how easy these were. Especially the engine filter.

Hi. Thank you very much for watching and asking. We appreciate you. Here is a link to our video where we upgraded our reverse lights to LED. This goes through the steps of removing the housings. Hope this helps. Take care! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJeJfpaop6e-fY0.htmlsi=gaxtsW4ZRzyB-mDn

@@SpiritedWrenchers thanks for the quick response. I saw the video as well. But I believe turn sign light is not located on that housing. It's on the bottom of the vehicle. Really hard to access.

@mushfiqulislamabir3811 ahhh, I understand now. Thanks for clarifying. Which side is it? We're traveling this week, but when we get back, we can take a look to see if it's easily accessible.

@@SpiritedWrenchers rear, right side. Thanks a lot

Hi Andy! Thanks for asking. The owner's manual says for the engine air filter, to inspect every 12 months/8k miles and replace every 36 months/24k miles. The caveat is that under more severe driving conditions (as we have), you should always inspect more frequently and expect to replace them more frequently. For the cabin air filter, the manual states to inspect every 12 months/8k miles and replace every 24 months/16k miles; again, with the caveat that if you are driving under severe conditions that you should inspect more frequently and expect to replace them more frequently. We generally replace our air filters once per year unless we happen to inspect and notice something is amiss and replace them sooner. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Thank you Alex for sharing with everyone. Stay safe out there.

Hi Elsa, thanks for watching and noticing that. I did question it myself, but my second air filter that I purchased from the dealer also didn't have Hyundai/Kia printed on it, and also came from a sealed box. I suspect that auto manufacturers, like the US Government, will go with whatever parts manufacturer is the most affordable. I have the receipt from the dealer should I run into any problems, it would be on them to fix the parts problem. It would be on my to fix any issue with the labor, such as possible debris falling inside of the blower motor which could cause noise, smells, and premature failure. The owner's manual interval for changing the cabin air filter under normal conditions is to inspect every 8k miles (the same as the normal oil change interval) and to replace it every 16k miles (the same as every other oil change). While it is quite possible that the service technician working on your vehicle is required by their employer to follow this precise instruction, you could contact the service manager with pictures to inquire about your concern that technicians are: 1- handing interiors with greasy fingers, 2- failing to follow customer request, and 3- possibly having ill-intent. Not all dealerships are the same as they are all independent franchises. If you're unsatisfied with your local dealership, I'd advise you to post honest reviews of the service department online and to call Hyundai USA to lodge a formal complaint about your local dealer. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Hi Mason. Thanks for watching. We apologize, but we're not sure what you mean.

Thank you! Cheers!
