Is the air from your A/C vents low or weak? Does it smell of mold or mildew? It's probably time you changed your A/C cabin filter. It's a simple inexpensive job with a few pointers.

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

@Iknowyoumadnow Ай бұрын

If you can't do it then you're slow 🧠

@carlovanrijk4039 Ай бұрын

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

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.

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.

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

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.

@mannys9130 Ай бұрын

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.

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