How to change the air and cabin filters in a Honda Element

[DocentUSA]

my dealer charges $99.95 plus tax just for cabin filter replacement.

I don't even know what they charge for the engine air filter.

I do all myself. Screw the dealer!!!

Nice vid. I have a 2008 E. It's due for a air filter and cabin filter change. Your video is priceless

[MFCrow]

Great video. Thanks. The box came with two filters, I thought they were just selling them in pairs until I saw your video. I would have only used one if I did not see your video.

35 for a air filter change ddddaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmnnn should be 5 dollars is to easy...

[doobythecat]

Great video. I did the filter install today--in no time--thanks to your video.

It looks like you have the custom pop-top on your Element. Is it? If so, how do you like it? Thanks again!

Hey that's not a Honda Element! It has that horse thingy on the hood! A FERRARI??!! haha

[robleedesign]

thanks for sharing this, i have an honda element too. I had firestone called me telling me I need to change both the air and cabin filter for $65.

The in cabin filters are cheaper at any parts store..Doh!

Thanks, I have checked out 'the darien plan' and even joined drive the americans for additional enjoyable reading.

Returning to the Element Cabin Filters, which arrived yesterday; thanks to your wonderful video, my wife and I changed ours, which were loaded with Cleveland bugs & dirt; wished we had replaced the 2006 filters sooner, but plan on next change in a year. May not need it, but for $15, we want to see what a year's dust looks like. IMO, if you do not DIY, the $100 dealer chg. is fair.

[15gary37]

Now, that I have watched a few more of you videos, with the Honda Element, I can understand where the dust may be coming from. You guys are having quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing south america with us. WOW, our Honda Element is some fine get-everywhere car. Take care, gary from Cleveland, OH

@15gary37 Thanks! Our trip is over now, but hopefully we'll take the Element for a more adventuresome spin again sometime in the next couple of years. You can check out our blog about our trip by googling 'the darien plan'

[15gary37]

great video, esp. showing us the detail of the cabin filter. Looks like you live in an area where there is much dust. As far as Honda charing to do the work, that is OK with me. Dealers, and they do need to be there for us, can make a reasonable charge, and $20 buck seems fair. However, I do agree with you, that most of us Honda owners should change our own air and cabin filters. Honda could tell us in the Owners Manual HOW TO change the cabin filter, rather than saying "take it to Dealer"

Hey thanks. Very helpful video!

[Obsessed4lyfe]

WAIT, repeat that at 0:35. was that "$75+$35 = $60????? um i think your math is off by a bit.... T_T

[Niche79]

OMG that cabin filter is scary!!! Poor Honda, shouldnt have to deal with that!

[Reneesfun]

thank you so much. I was just at the dealer and they wanted so much more to do it.

I'm not very handy and didn't think I could do it, but now I know that I can!!

thanks again! you are my hero

[saintmule]

thank you for a big savings. and your video is very clear and easy to understand.

[djhotdogboy]

Thanks for putting together this video. I am going to do this myself now that I have seen your video!

[spoonman424]

Thank you. You did save me a good chunk of change. I'm at the dealership now and they asked me if i wanted them changed. They were going to charge me around $70 in total.

[unbrooks]

Great video and excellent explanation on how to do it at home instead taking my "Ellie" to the dealer.

[jdayrail]

Thank you for showing us how to do the work, and for telling us why it's important to change the filters.

Great Video.....I would recommend to anyone going to Amazon.com, even with shipping ( as applicable ) cabin air filters are MUCH cheaper than purchasing them from a Car Dealer and your local/National Auto Store. I bought two Fram brand air filters that were around $12 ( after $3 rebate ) on the site...they work exactly the same as a Honda OEM Cabin Air Filter.

Thanks! Very helpful

Ok, and now the big question, where did you get the horse?? My wife wants one on her element now!!

[mush2k4]

Thank you for the video. You definitely just saved me $60.
