I was at the dealer two days ago for a transmission oil change and they also recommended me change the break fluid cost $315.00, then while I was waiting they came telling me that the cabin air filter needs changing and cleaning out. A rodents nest. $60.00 for the OEM filter, and $180.00 for cleaning. I said no. Went home, picked up a filter for $27.00 and watched a video of how to remove/clean out the blower. It took me less than an hour to take out the blower, clean the compartment and replace the filter. I want to thank the folks like you who make these videos where we are encouraged to do some of the easy work ourselves. Thank you!
Oh, wow... some dealerships have really gotten out of control! I'm glad to hear that you were able to save yourself some money, while also learning how to do some of the routine maintenance yourself.
Great info I just changed my cabin & air filter on my 2020 honda accord sport 2.0. I didn't break any of the plastic pieces or any of my nails & the best part is I saved some money. Thx!!
I’m glad to hear that you were able to save $ AND do so without breaking your nails 😉😁👍
Im about to do mine this week. I thought it was hard. I didnt know it’s only behind the compartment lol
Love these videos anything to save $ and have pride in doing it yourself
Thank you! 👍😁
My problem was that the glove box damper had become disconnected and rattled. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to reattach it, or for that matter, where to reattach it. Now, in addition to knowing how to change my cabin air filter, I also know how to repair my glove box damper. Many thanks!
I’m glad to hear that you found the video helpful 👍
With all these fires going on here in California I'm sure I need to change mine soon! Thanks for DIY 👍
Probably a very good idea. Buy a couple extra too. Good luck and stay safe. Hopefully they'll get those fires under control soon.
I took in my new 2020 honda accord with 12700miles in for a fuel tank recall. They wanted to do both the engine and cabin filters for $185. What a rip and I'm suspicious they even need it. I'll buy both and check them out by inspection and swap if needed.
My 2001 Honda accord EX was horrible to replace the cabin filter, I'm happy the 2020 is super easy
That’s crazy, and just wrong 😠. The engine air filter change is super easy. The cabin filter just a little more complicated, but once you done it, it’s easier the next time. 👍
Thanks for the video. It made me confidence diy this instead leaving it for the dealer. Oil change, I still have to go through the dealer to avoid warranty issues
Thanks for the watch and comment. Glad you found it helpful. I don't know what country you're in, but in the U.S. you are not required to have your maintenance performed at a dealership in order to maintain your warranty. If an issue came up, you simply need to show that you had performed the recommended maintenance.
Smart move..
Best to buy a K&N cabin air $40 Cleaner kits like $14 never have to keep buying them That’s what I do with all my cars You seriously save not paying $16 every 5K
Thanks for this great video. Honda quoted me $110 to change it. I bought one from Amazon for $10.49.
Glad you didn’t spend that $110 👍😉
Changed both in less than 5 minutes at a savings of $140. Thank you for your videos
My pleasure! I just changed my cabin filter today as well 👍
The dealership I go to are just now changing these out for free. Somebody in the service dept finally spoke up and said something and now it’s free. They even showed me today how to check it. Most dealerships is NOT going to do that
That’s great! I’ve never heard of a dealership doing this 😮👍. Whereabouts are you located?
VERY IMPORTANT**** I did what many people have done and "broke" the dampening bar in the process of opening the compartment. My bar was difficult to get off and I apparently pushed down on the bar too hard. The dampening bar is contained within a plastic sheath at the top of the (flat) bar that is hinged within the plastic sheath. When I pushed down, the top of the bar rotated down and out of the sheath. Fortunately, I removed the side panel and loosened the glove box and I could see the top of the bar where it had rotated out of the sheath. I gently rotated the (flat) bar back into the sheath and put everything back together. In my case, nothing was broken but if I had torn at it too much more it would have broken. Of course, Honda could have made this more sturdy but then they would not have made money off the repairs or the replacement of the filter. It looks like this dampening mechanism is held in place by a white "Nut Bolt" that can be removed inside of the glove compartment. It may also be possible to rotate that bar back in place from inside the compartment when it is in the full down position. Not sure.
Just adding to this. When pushing on the bar close the glove box a tad to get the tension off of it. Also do this when re installing
Thank you SO much for this video!!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. There's also a video on how to change your engine air filter, if you're interested.
Perfect I have a 2020 worked just fine lx mode
Thank you, Happy New Year!! 😊
Today they quoted me $90 in Nashville,TN!!!
That’s crazy 🤪 😮🫤
Thanks for the video.

Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thank you for leaving a positive comment 😁👍
Good to see it's still a similar process to older gens. The plastic carrier that used to hold the filter is gone, interesting cost cutting move.
All the pennies add up ; ) It's also nice to know how to do some of the more simple maintenance items yourself.
Simple!… thanks!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thx for the info
I’m glad you found it helpful 👍. Thank you for the watch and comment 😁
My Honda dealership are a bunch of CROOKS. I will never, ever bring my car to them for ANYTHING!!!! I do all my OWN MAINTENANCE on my 2020 accord, and log all my service receipts for resale time. And love the video. Looks like I just found my new STASH spot behind the glovebox.🤔💨💨💨💨💨💨
I’ve had similar experiences with dealerships. Fortunately, they’re not all like that, unfortunately, it’s hard to find the good ones. You can save so much on doing much of the routine maintenance items yourself 👍
My accord is at 16k Miles.....I'm going to assume it's really dirty but I don't smell anything bad or awful smell in my car. Still smells clean. Should I still check it just in case?
Yes. I would. The filter can still be plenty dirty and need to be replaced even in the absence of smelling bad.
My problem involves the initial removal of the plastic drop down limit arm (right side of glove box). I have trouble removing this arm to access the filter as it is a tight fit to grab on to and at age 74 I don't have the finger strength. I also do not want to try using a pair of pliers as I might brake the plastic. Any tips on disconnecting this arm? I tried using a pair of thin plastic gloves to get a better grip on it but still can't get it to release. I have a 2018 Accord and have not changed this filter as yet (17,000 miles on it) and need to. Thanks for any information you can give me.
You're correct in being cautious, considering it is plastic I can see this inadvertently breaking with too much force. I would recommend that you don't open the glove box all the way, but rather 90% so that there is no force from gravity applying pressure to the plastic piece, then somewhat sharply tap the plastic piece applying force parallel to the ground and towards the front of the car, given that it is a hook.
@@TheLemonFactor First if all, thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate it. I'll try as you have suggested. If I can't get it to work, I won't risk breaking it. I'll have the Dealer make the first change so he can loosen up the holding arm, then the next time it should be easier for me to complete the job myself. I had this same problem with my "08" Accord which had a similar "holding arm". Secondly, your video on changing the engine air filter (2018 Accord, 2.0) was great and I was able to make the change out today. I'm sure that I would have had a problem with those 2 back plastic holding pins if you hadn't discussed them so thanks again and keep up the good work.
Don't mention it. I hope it works out. The holding arm won't easily slide out, you have to "pop" it out, so it does take a bit of quickly applied pressure. I hope you're able to get it taken care of. I'm glad you found the video of the engine air filter helpful. What other videos would you be interested in seeing?
@@TheLemonFactor If you heard a big Yahoo! from the direction of Illinois, it was me. I was able to disconnect that side drop-down hold lever, without breaking it. The photo angle showing the drop down lever and the attaching "hook" was what cinched it for me. As the hook faces "up" all I had to do was press down at the very end and this disconnected the hook with a distinct "click" (I was holding the door only partially open). I knew then that I had it released. The rest of the replacement was pretty easy and similar to my "08" Accord. Oh, and the filter I replaced was really bad. It's amazing how pine needles can work their way into your cabin filter. Thanks again, I couldn't have done it without you.
Very helpful but wished I saw this before I just spent $68 bucks. So for next time thank you.
👍
How did you get it to soft open? My glove compartment just drops straight down now
There’s a plastic arm on the outer right side of the glovebox that “catches” it from simply flopping open.
@@TheLemonFactor I went to place that checked my cabin air filter and since then it doesn’t soft open anymore. I see the plastic arm but it doesn’t do anything anymore
@yordys02 sounds like it’s either broken or the plastic arm simply isn’t latched in place.
I didn’t see the link where you bought the cabin air filter
Check towards the bottom of the description section of the video and you’ll see if 😁👍
On my 2020 Accord dealer wants $120 to change Cabin Filter
That’s nuts… I hope you saved a ton of 💰 and did it yourself 👍
How to change engine filter Honda Accord hybrid touring 2020 and where is engine filter location in it
I would imagine that it’s very similar. However, as I’ve not worked with a hybrid Honda Accord, I’m unable to provide you with specific details 🤷♂️
Have you considered upgrading to a K&N?
Yes, I have. I've also considered upgrading the entire air intake assembly in order to see what type of hp gains it may produce. However, as my dyno shop has been closed due to COVID-19, I'll be putting off any hp testing for a bit.
@@TheLemonFactor That's great!
Great! They asked for both filters to change 150$
Hopefully this means you did it yourself and saved at least $100?
How much was the Honda cap?
I think it was around $25. I either got it on Etsy.com, or on Amazon...amzn.to/3CLuzTh
What is the on/off switch on the glove department for?
To turn off the trunk opening button on the drivers side door.
Well I just paid the big bucks to the dealership yesterday to have this filter changed because The filter was full of leaves. today I opened the glove box. It popped open and it will not close. So the service technician couldn’t even change the filter correctly. Shows a lot about the dealership...if you can’t trust them with the small stuff how can you trust them with the big stuff.
Total rip off and now I have to return to the dealership and waste more time. Be smart and do your own!
I'm sorry to hear that... that really stinks. That is one of the reasons why I like to do as much of the maintenance (within reason) on my vehicles.
Is this the same as a cabin pollen filter? Honda wants $53 for one
Yes. Buy one online and install yourself - you’ll save a bunch 👍. I have links in the description below 👇
whose here cause their car be smelling a lil funny? 🥸🤚🏼
🤣
Yeah they're charging me $68 SMH
It’s crazy how much dealerships charge 😕
Went for my 30 k mile service today.. they want to charge me $140 for engine air filter and cabin filter.. my reply ...HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAA what an i ? an ol lady?
That’s just ridiculous 😠
Lol honda show up at your house yet??
That’s why I had to move, to get them off my trail 😉
Mine had debrey inside at 25000 miles sheesh 🙄

Too much talking in the beginning of the video just get to the point and that’s it 👎🏼
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for the watch and feedback.
