55 Mechanics disliked this video because they can't charge $50 for replacing this now
😂😂😂
$50? How are they supposed to stay in business only charging $50? Shop rate at the place by my house is like $90/ hr.
@@rykerhayward8606 that's the extra half hour they charge while you are already in there
@@rykerhayward8606 By doing honest work
So true
I love CZcams tutorials!! Mechanics can be ridiculous!! Charging an arm and a leg for something so easy. Thanks!
Mdogbrown np!
They gotta eat it too
My brother referred me to your page and I’m so thankful for him and you. Thank you so much, I’m never paying for the dealership to do this again
I'm always happy to find videos like this on CZcams. Parts and labor will cost you $100 and even more if you go to the dealership. I spent less than 10 minutes and less than $30 for the cabin filter. Thanks for this video! Wooot!
nice, glad you found our videos lol :D
;-)
Thank you!! I purchased my own. Job done!!
Great video and you're a great instructor!!
Thank you sir! Easy and to the point! Thank you very much!
Would u happen to have any info or sources on how to fix a glove box that doesn’t close? 2012 Camry. Having no luck
Subscribed! Great videos u saved me like 50 bucks from my toyota dealership thanks bro!
Mario Tovar thanks! gj!
thank u bro. crashed on my way to buy the cabin air filter, u saved me -$2,000
Does anyone knows what is the amber color device that is in the glove compartment? Will it be the glove compartment courtesy light? I think mine stop working.
You’re the greatest of all time
Thanks bro you just saved me $80
glad to help :)
So the second cover i can't get it out so any help?
my son has a 2012 Camry that has a death grip on the second cover any ideas how to remove that don't involve a chisel or a blow torch?
What’s that orange dot on the glove compartment?
Thank you
thanks for posting the video. very helpful. question: I purchased a cabin air filter but it doesn't say which way is up. instead it says the air flow direction. so, does the air flow goes up or down in my 2015 Camry SE? thanks.
air flow goes down, that's why you see debris on top of the cabin air filter.
Then why did you say the arrow is up? I'm confused.
Reid Okazaki this uploader is full of shit doesn’t have a fuking clue he’s providing incorrect info to innocent people ,arrow should be downward direction
@@reidokazaki4426On OEM filters the arrow indicates which side goes up. On most aftermarket filters the arrow indicates airflow direction (down).
Thank you. I just replaced mine 🙂, there was a specific filter that I wanted
I just did this in my brothers '13 Camry and it only took like 3 minutes lol. It's so easy a kid can do it lol. Got the cabin filter on ebay for $5 SHIPPED !!!
yup, easy peazy
thank you for this I came to the dealer just to get some clips put in the mud flaps I've been here 45mins and they want to change my air filter and fix my tire 2 things I didn't ask them to do . They said it would be $69.00 replace the filter and they would spay and flush out the vents.
+Carle' Underwood well, that's the dealership for you, they like to up sell things that are easy to do and they charge an arm and a leg for labor on easy maintenance. Glad you searched it yourself and save some money :)
@@NutzAboutBolts Dealer told me today it would be $20 bucks for this part.
@@watermelonlalala that’s about right, cabin filter is more expensive than the engine air filter. You can buy after market on Amazon though.
Thank you sir !
Thank you sir
Thanks for the great video....can you believe dealers charge $300-400 for their "30,000" mile service? I did mine for $80.
2014.5 Camry...cabin AC filter was very dirty at 30K miles, engine air filter was moderately dirty...replaced both in 5 mins thanks to these videos.
+Matt Spees yeah they over charge for their service. That's how dealership makes money though, sad but true... rather do these yourself and save money.
+Matt Spees Same here. Dealership wanted something like $75 to replace both, when I got both filters for only $16 and took me all of 5 minutes to do.
Amazing how many things everyone can do themselves.
Wonderful tutorial. Question: Is there another way to tell what's the up direction if it's not written on the filter?
If you see one side is darker, it’s the charcoal that should be up. It’s to filter out the air that’s coming down from the outside air. You’ll notice that when you pull the cabin air filter out, there’s a bunch of dust particles and leaves on top of the cabin filter, that’s where outside air blows things down into the cabin vent. I hope that make sense.
@@NutzAboutBolts so an air filter that shows the air flow arrow going down should have the arrow facing down ?
@@NoName-ov8qi some filters will have the word “up”with the arrow pointing up as the orientation that you should be laying it. Some have the word “air flow” with the arrow pointing down, which means its the outside air going down into the air filter so you should be laying it to where the “air flow” arrow pointing down as the orientation.
@@NoName-ov8qi yes, it’s saying that the air flow is going downwards. If the air filter just say “up”, it means the manufacturer wants you to lay the cabin air filter up.
How often do you change this cabin air filter?
God Lee usually every 15k miles.
Cool! Thanks!
Is Carbin air filter for 2014 Camry SE sports the same location like this? or is it under hood?
+ZKRD cabin air filter is commonly located in the back of the glove compartment. The air filter in your engine compartment is and will always be called an engine air filter.
ZKRD was the app
I am having a really hard time removing that second cover. I have pushed on both latches but it will not budge.
Yeah...I just broke the left-hand tab so that's gonna be a fun project tomorrow, to try to use a flat screwdriver to 'push in' the broken tab side...
Im having same issue. 2nd panel can't open. How much force I use. Did you solve yours? How?
I took my car to autozone and the staff said whoever installed my cabin air filter either did it incorrectly or used the wrong size. I have yet to get it fixed still. So annoying.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. Could you suggest some makes/brand too?
+Munir Ladha sorry, we only suggest OEM unless we mentioned a better brand in our videos lol...
Adam Neale
You do want to replace the cabin air filter regardless if there's odors or not. Over time, the cabin air filter will have build up of dirt and debris from the outside air that get caught on the filter and will start going having a bad odor. I've noticed Camry does get pungent odor and I'm not sure if its the Camry only but notice it mainly on Camry complaints. I would suggest doing an AC Evaporator cleaning and air freshening to see if it'll get rid of the odor or not. You will have do it a couple of times to get rid of the smell, also change out the cabin air filter regularly every 15k miles or if you're in a very dusty area, 10k miles. Good luck
+NutzAboutBolts Had that problem on our old Hyundai Accent. Kind of a mildew smell but only when using the AC. It didn't have a cabin filter, but good tip about checking the AC evaporator.
Thanks buddy it was easy
How often do you replace a cabin filter?
15-30k depending on where you live.
gosh, thanks!!
Can you open some location near there
I want paint some where near there but i dont know how to open them
not sure what you're asking for, and we don't have the vehicle anymore.
+NutzAboutBolts ya this car too
Thank you very helpful
HFD OukH np
Great help, thank you
Thank you for the information.
Does this work for the 17 camry as well?
yes
I just went in for a 15K checkup. They wanted $90 to replace this and the other air filter. I declined and started Googling. Is the cabin filter accessible through the hood? If not, I wonder how they got my "extremely dirty/needs replacing" one out when I had the glove box locked??
+Lulubeans36 the cabin air filter is in the glove box, the engine air filter is under the hood. The only way to get to the cabin air filter is through the glove box... unless they guessed it by your vehicle mileage and didn't check it lol. Usually cabin air filter is recommend replacing at 15k and engine air filter is at 30k.
+NutzAboutBolts - I was in the waiting room and they brought out two filthy filters to show me they needed replacing. Maybe they saw the engine filter was gross and grabbed someone else's bad cabin one for affect? Or it's 100% bs and they grabbed two spare dirty filters to show me that I "needed" to spend $90 on an otherwise free 15K service (I'm leasing my vehicle so everything should be covered).
+NutzAboutBolts Thanks for replying btw! :)
+Lulubeans36 if the glove box was locked, they had your keys to unlock and check real quick as well. You could also check your cabin air filter to check if it needs replacing or not
I can't open the 2nd part to get into the air filter Do you have a solution for that
It’s held on by the clip tab, push on the plastic tab and it’ll pop out
How to replace automatic gear shift lever bulb toyota camry 2013
Zahi Unscrew it.
Unable to open second cover tried pushing and opening again. Any suggestions please?
Seriously. Mine’s not budging.
Thank you so much for your video, I feel dumb😂..... Definitely you saved me $50 plus labor. Omg without knowing this I could of got rip off.
I squeeze the tap and pull it but it won't come out. Is there something wrong?
make sure its not stuck on anything, sometimes you push it but its not fully depressed and could be held on to the hinge.
thanks

STP filter has air flow arrows not up arrows. What direction is the airflow on a '15 Camry?
the air flow direction goes from up to down. Your cabin air filter arrow should point up since its filtering out the air from the top.
The Factory Toyota filter has an arrow and the word "up." The STP brand filter has an arrow and the words "air flow." If the air flows from top to bottom I.e. down, then the arrow on an STP filter should point down. No?
Martin Heffron
yes
Yes, I have no bananas. Oh me, here we go again. Confusing. I think the arrow means air direction. But I don't know much.@@NutzAboutBolts
Down.
Thank you!
Thanks, I will do it to my car
Bandar Al.khaled np!
Ty so much
Thanks guy
no problem.
Yeah, that first plastic lid I removed easily. That second plastic lid, mine is stuck or jammed or something. I squeezed both tabs and it's not moving at all. It feels like it's on there incorrectly, but I don't know. I need to replace my filter. If I drop the blower motor, can I get access to those tabs by going through the hole where the blower motor sits and reaching inside of there.
Try spraying WD-40 on the tab area to loosen it up and see if it’ll remove easily.
@@NutzAboutBolts I'll try that. The way that second plastic lids sits in there, the tab on the right side is the main tab that holds it in place. The tab on the left side seems like it's support.
@@GenX_US_Marine yes, you’re correct
@@NutzAboutBolts WD-40 didn't work. I talked to a toyota mechanic and he told me to focus on the right side tab. He said it will pop out once you get it loose then you can press the left tab to take it off. I told him I thought you had to press both at the same time. He said you do, to take it off, but you can loosen one side at a time if it's stuck to loosen that side. I'll try that tomorrow
@@GenX_US_Marine good luck! 👍🏼
The new air filter I got on Amazon doesn’t have an arrow pointing up. Does it matter which side I put in up?
If it doesn’t show, then I guess either side would work.
@@NutzAboutBolts thanks for your help! This isn’t the first video of yours that I watched and won’t be the last!
@@tardarsauce3355 😁
My new Fram filter has the word "airflow" next to the arrow.... I put the arrow pointing down because the airflow comes from the top of the filter. Did I do it wrong?
No, that’s correct, airflow should go down. 👍🏼
thank you!@@NutzAboutBolts
Thank you for the upload, did not know it was this easy. Purchased 2014 V6 XLE new, dealer could not removed A/C odor. As of 30,000 miles on third filter had paid extra for upgrade carbon filter ($50 for the filter part) each time. Last visit cost over $300 for filter change and chemical to remove odor. Odor came back after 3 weeks even with outside air on most of the time. Found an extra piece of plastic laying on the floor mat right below the glove compartment after that service. Had no idea what that was until I see this video. It was the first L shape black plastic removed on this video! I never wanted to go back to this Toyota dealer again, doing all my maintenance now. Need to know how to remove that odor.
Get a cheap ozone machine from Amazon and treat it once in a while.
Does the fram cabin air filter arrow point down or up? Our vehicle is 2012 Camry.. Thank you in advance:)
All after market cabin filters are different, I can't say for fram, but the air flow is coming from the top.
It points down and says "air flow" next to the arrow.
Whats the model number for this part on a 2015 Camry?
+cpstylez not sure... you can call the dealership parts department and ask for the part numbers.
+cpstylez You can also go online to most auto parts stores (or even Amazon) and put in your car model and it will only show you parts that fit it.
Did you just put the new filter facing the wrong way? Arrow shows airflow? Or arrow shows up direction? The other videos say arrow down thus airflow!
Up is where the filter should be laying.
@@NutzAboutBolts What? That doesn’t make sense
@@deanhenthorn1890 on the filter, if the up is saying “air flow”, it should be pointed down because air is flowing from up top going down. Hope that makes sense.
@@NutzAboutBolts OK, looking at the video, you said and showed arrow up. I was confused. Arrow usually means airflow direction. I wouldn’t be surprised how many are put in wrong yet still work just fine.
@@deanhenthorn1890 yeah, they’ll all work fine even if it’s upside down.
thanks millions man..
not a problem! :)
My clips are stuck i cant open it. What should I do?
You can’t pinch the side clips?
Does this also work on a 2011 Toyota camry se?
Should be the same concept
@@NutzAboutBoltsokay thanks man i also subbed
@@DogePlayz554 thanks!
I removed first panel, second one couldn't do it.
The arrow should be up or down?
Wo buji dao. But, I think the arrow should be down, meaning the direction of airflow. Whew...this is not easy to figure out.
In the video, he says the arrow is up.
It depends on the brand of filter. Does it say "up" next to the arrow or does it say "air flow"?
@@reidokazaki4426
That's because he is installing an OEM Toyota branded filter which says "UP" next to the arrow.
Thanks
ni hau, sche sche, and wo buji dao.
The arrows was clutch thanks
Np 👍🏼
I HAVE MY REPLACEMENT FILTERS COMING IN. ONE FOR THIS AND THE OTHER FOR THE ENGINE AIR BREATHER.
BOTH COST ME ONLY UNDER 15 DOLLARS. I GOT FREE SHIPPING OFF EBAY TO AND NO STATE TAX.
So I have a 2016 Camry that smells awful when almost like piss, anyone else have this problem? And any solutions?
Does this work on the 2014 model?
Yes
I checked it and it does but the filter was upside down, would that make any difference because the filter is made of the same fabric on both sides?
@@alexls1923 it should be fine
Ok thanks, I just need to find which one I need to get to replace the old one
I have found which filter I needed at my local autozone and replaced my old one but it still stinks when I put my AC on low, it doesn’t stink if the AC is on higher settings unless it was on low for a half a minute. How long does it take for the smell to go away after the cabin air filter is changed or could this be coming from another part?
First replacement in 8 years lol
Wow 😮 that easy
Yep lol
Why can't the Nissan cabin filter be this easy..
Thank you honestly, these assholes at Toyota really tried to charge me 80$ to change it 🙄
👍
What in the world is this filter supposed to do closed up in the glove box? I took the one out of my Echo years ago and can't tell the difference between having and not having it.
You should replace with OEM filter, about 15-20bucks, stay away from cheap filters, they can damage more then help!
Never had issues with them. 🤷🏻♂️
Had to watch video again so I wouldn't turn this simple task into a cluster f.
😆 no worries, always good to double check 👍🏼
Why are you wearing gloves?
we we're filming more than 1 video, so it was from a different video and we didn't feel like taking the gloves off.

What king of phahgg wears gloves to replace a cabin filter?
My car was inside a barn for 4 years 2016 Camry today I was wondering why my car always smelled so bad turns out there was a nest of chipmunks and they were all dead
Lol all those farm animals
Yuck.
Hate every time I get an oil change they want to charge me 25$ to change this...it's about 8$ to buy. SMH.
Cheaper than 50$ at the dealership 😅😅
Toyota charged me 100 dollars for this service. could have gotten the filter cheap and did it myself
BOYCOTT PC yeah, the labor cost for this service is ridiculous. They charge an arm and a leg for a 2 minute job.
YOU GOT ROBBED. 911
