DIY Change in cabin air filter
 
hey guys, i made a youtube channel for fun, and I made a really simple DIY video that I just want to share with you all.
Please dont make fun of me i know this is really simple, but this video may help someone who doesnt know about cars, just as I did not know how to do this until looking it up :)

Grab a Fram Freshbreeze from RockAuto, they're like $18. No sense grabbing an OEM one since they're MAD expensive.

Are these reusable?

Midway through page 4 they mention the arrow. Air flow goes from top to bottom. Someone mentions it could be air flow arrow(down) or it could be an orientation arrow(up). Dunno :iono:

No. Replace it.

Yup, it's $20 every fifteen thousand miles or so which is well worth it to make your car not smell like sour milk and old farts.

I'm shamed to admit that I had no idea there was such a filter in there! Probably would never have known and just driven round with the OEM one for the life of the car.. Orz

Helluva lot easier than the one I put in the wifes Soul. I had to remove the whole glove box assembly to get to the filter box.

Haha! Great! Didn't know I had a cabin filter. At 53,000 miles I think I'll check it out. :)

Thats a good question, Im really not sure, I was assuming it was orientation arrow. When I opened the box the stock FR-S arrow was pointing up so I put the one that I bought as pointing up. I haven't noticed any difference in the airflow at all in the past few days in my car since installing though :)
