- ** UPDATED: INSERT WITH ARROW POINTING DOWN ** Showing those that don’t know how, to change the cabin air filter on a 2017 Subaru Impreza. Put this together because I couldn’t find a clear one on here.

Works with 2018 as well. Best video on this I've seen.
rpalmeri glad to know it works on a 2018 as well! Thanks!
Dealer wanted $124 yes, I said it correctly, $124.00 for this. I said NO THANK YOU! This video is straight to the point and very helpful. I knew where it was, I just didn't know how to get to it. THANK YOU!
I just bought an '18 Impreza back in June. First time being on Team Subaru. Love your personality, you should have way more subs!
Been getting it done at my oil place for years but they didn't have my filter in stock when I went last. Heard people saying it's much cheaper + easier to do it yourself and wow, they were right. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to hear it worked out!!
You're awesome for taking the time to post this! Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Worked on my 2018 Impreza. So easy of you know the tricks. Thank you!
That’s good to hear! I updated the description to help other ‘18 drivers, thanks!
I love this video...never knew there was a cabin air filter in my 2012 impreza... but makes sense why my air is not as good as it should be...im 64 and i know that if you can do it...I can. Thank you so much for this video!
Your the best! I was so frustrated and your video saved the day!🌞
2017 Impreza
Oh glad to hear it helped! Hope you put the air filter with the arrow facing down 😅
Wanted to say something for anyone watching. The filter actually goes the other way. No slight to the poster. There was a mean worded comment saying similar thing I just wanted to say it nicer for anyone who is watching in the future replacing their filter. Nice video!
Ah yes, I stumbled my way through trying to figure it out myself before recording this video so thank you and to all correcting cause it helps all watching. We all make mistakes and have room to always improve 🙏🏼👏🏻
@@adriannelovesjesus of course it was a great video. I didn’t know how to pull the glove box out so thank you!
The dealer wanted $80 to replace the filter on my last service appointment. I told them to hold off. Thank you!
Woah! Well glad this helped, always nice to save that money
canada it is 150 haha
Great video. Will be doing this tomrrow and appreciate the detail. You should make more videos of any kind, you are pretty entertaining!
Happy it will help and thank you! That’s definitely encouraging!
Any chance you can make some more videos like this? You are so good at explaining and making it seem straightforward and easy.
That’s good to hear! Thanks for the suggestion, if it helps I can definitely try to make more 😅
Brilliant. Needed to locate the filter and now I know. Perfect!
So simple, I struggled for a good 10 minutes to open the damn thing until this video. TY
Saved myself some cash,....bought the filter online and installed myself in a couple minutes,.....happy now,....thank you darling.
Oh that’s great to hear! Happy it helped!!
Great, straightforward video. Thanks.
bakincookingrillin glad it helped!
I just bought one and was wondering how to do this. A big thank you from the Subie nation!
Ah yay!! So glad it helped!!
Worked perfectly on my 2017 . Thabks for the video
Awesome to hear!🎉
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful!
Glad it helped!! 😁
Nice job! Thanks! 2019 Impreza here.
Easy and clear. Great video. Thx.
Thank you and glad it helped!!
Thanks for this one... Got the glove compartment off successfully but I was stumped on the actual filter part... I tried everything but squeeze the clamps together lol...... Thanks again 🙏
You’re welcome! Glad it helped!
SAME YO
Thank you! I just did my first cabin air filter. Saved me $50. ❤
Ah that’s so great to hear! The air filter (near the engine) on my car is just as easy if not more! ❤️👏🏻
Thanks girl! I totally just did this by myself. 🙂🙌🏼❤️👯♀️
Oh yea girl 👏🏻 happy this helped out!
A totally wonderful lesson. Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
Got me close enough on my 2014! Thanks!
That’s great to hear! Happy it helped some 👍🏻
You don’t need to undo the side clips only the two on bottom to access filter. Thanks for the video 👍🏼
Ah good mention and thanks!
Great video. Helps me get to know the mechanics my car better. Maybe I'll tackle something more complicated the next time.
Where there’s a will, they’re a way! Thank you!
I'm certain popping tabs on side isn't required. Those tabs are only for construction of the C.A.F housing. Only top and bottom tabs on C.A.F. access panel holds access panel in place. Everything else is correct. 5th Gen Impreza
Thanks for sharing! First time learning myself so learned something new
Can you make a video about replacing the wipers? I have a had a heck of a time and purchased THREE so far and none have fit for it!
You know, I just might make one! To be determined 💪🏻
super helpful! thank you!
You are very welcome!
Great video! Keep on loving Jesus! Very detailed and simple
Briton Marrett glad it helped and likewise! God bless!
Good job. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Good job!
Thanks!
You helpin da bois as well
Happy it helped!
Can you share the item code of that STP brand air cabin filter? I have been trying to look for it but I can't find it. Please. You are excellent explaining how to change the filter, very happy girl :)
I’ll see if I can find the number but if you go to a local place, they can also advise on other brands 🤗
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Good job !!
Patrick Condon thank you! 😅😄
Super easy and fast ty
Saul Ortiz you’re welcome! Glad it’s helped others
Thank you!!!!🖤🖤🖤
You’re welcome!!
Thank you so very much!!!
Happy to help!!
Man, it'd be embarassing if I had a 2017 impreza and still hadn't changed the cabin filter over 5 years later.... lemme just press that replay button real quick.
bruh, my Subaru service location wanted me to pay like $60 for this, and here I find I can just buy a filter for $10 and do it myself INCREDIBLY easily
thanks for this
Glad it helped!!
Lol why would you say bruh? She's a girl, HELLO!🤣🤣🤣

Thank u 😁
You’re welcome!
According to the Subaru manual the arrow is to be pointed up, not down. The arrow does not appear to be the direction of air flow
Not sure on that…I’m not a trained professional and I suppose now one says up and another down 🙈 haha I’d have to check! If Subaru says up it must be 😅
❤
thanks!!
samuel kim you’re welcome!
You’ve save $50.00, thank you beautiful 💐
You’re welcome!
Thank you for posting this video. Perfect instructions for me to replace mine.
Glad it helped!
Thanks, your vid made my day!! After all the cars I've worked on in my life, I never thought I'd be watching a girl show me how (an a cute one too). Your 3 min video made changing it a 2 min job. Thanks again!
You are very welcome!!
Why did you pop up the 2 side clips ?
It seems to help in removing it 😅🙆🏼♀️
Works on 2019 Impreza too!
That’s great to know!
Did you buy filter from the dealer?!
I did not 😄any auto place will do the trick! (I got mine from O’Rileys or Autozone I believe
i love you
Glad it helped! Haha
Kindly disregard advice from individuals advocating for pointing it downward, particularly for this model and year. Always consult the vehicle's owners manual for accurate information. As per the manual for the 2017 Impreza, there's an explicit caution notation indicating that the arrow should be directed UPWARDS.
i think you had inadvertently placed the new cabin air filter in the wrong position. when you took the old one out, the filter linings were in a horizontal position and that the new one was placed vertically and the arrow for air flow was on the opposite direction. just for your info. the following link i think was the right steps in doing so czcams.com/video/l6fZmpUr1tg/video.html for you info
Ah yes others noted this so I found out after the video was made and that’s why I put it in the title 🙃
I was able to confirm, since your filter has the words "Air Flow" the arrows need to be pointing down. Otherwise if the filter doesn't say Air Flow then you would insert the filter with the arrows up (confusing, I know). Here's a link to an A1 Auto video with them talking about it. czcams.com/video/U5jzGcIJdv4/video.html
Thank you for the information and passing this link on! Appreciate the time
Actually, if it doesn't say air flow next to the arrows, the arrows still indicate air flow, EXCEPT if it says "up" next to the arrows.
Great video. But you may have inserted the filter upside down. The AIR FLOW arrows should be pointing down, because the air flow moves from the top to the bottom (that's why the top of the filter was the dirtiest). That's a design flaw by STP
You put it in upside down. The arrow shows airflow direction and the air flows top to bottom.
Ah yes I had added it to the title and description 😅
One problem...
You put it in upside down.
The word "up" next to the arrow on the old filter has nothing to do with air flow direction.
Your new filter is not the same brand as your old filter. Similarly the word "up" and the words "air flow" don't mean the same thing. "Up" simply means "this side up". Air flow, on the other hand, is downward. This is evident from the fact that dirt collects on the topside of the old filter. So dirty air enters the top of the filter and goes through the filter resulting in clean air entering the blower motor mounted below the filter where it gets distributed through the ducts.
If you still have a problem grasping these simple facts then take out the filter and hold a piece of string or tissue paper where the filter sits and then turn on the blower and it should provide all the evidence you need. Air flow arrows need to point down.
Someone else did note this to me as well in the comments so I am aware now 🤪 that’s what happens I suppose when you start out learning haha thanks!
Woah that last paragraph was pretty condescending. The help was appreciated, but the attitude was not.
