How to Change Your Air Filter

[guillaumebeliveau]

thanks for that dude

[firepig22]

Ronald McDonald called he wants his air filter back.

[KristinaJSpolisci99]

@firepig22 lmfao



[1020Shane]

@firepig22 oooh ha ha i see what you did there :D

[didgers]

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!

(Okay, you're only half wrong according to a study done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.)

A dirty air filter on a modern car has no effect on fuel economy.  With a carbureted engine, you start to see a drop when the filter gets *really* dirty.

[TerryMMA85]

@didgers a clean air filter means the car can breathe alot better

[didgers]

@TerryMMA85 It breathes better, but only at WOT. Did you remember what the throttle does?

The throttle blocks the airflow so the engine doesn't get too much air at the wrong time. When you have a clean air filter, the throttle just closes even closer when idling/cruising, which is practically 99% of the time.

If you still don't believe me, look up the study at fueleconomy DOT gov

[TerryMMA85]

@didgers im not saying it helps with fuel economy im just saying the car can breathe better.

[didgers]

@TerryMMA85 Okay. I'm just so used to people claiming that the improved flow improves mpg, that I assumed you were too.

I said the video is half right because, yes, it's good to change your air filter, but no, you don't get more fuel economy.

We just need to be a little more clear next time.

All the graphics and sound effects were so fuckin annoying, with the drill sound and the moving arrows. This could have been trimmed to 2 minutes.

[tiga2001]

wow, that's so easy. The dealers always make it seem like some type of impossible task that only qualified mechanics are able to do.

[indoorgardner]

Wow that is easy enough for a girl to do :)

[qualitybbw]

Thanks! Misson Accomplished! YES!

[richienrg]

only Amerifags would compare an air filer with a medium pizza....

[rigatony019]

@richienrg i hope it feels good to be an idiot.

[richienrg]

@rigatony019 fatty

[metalirocz28]

@richienrg damn you brits really hate Americans thats all i ever see on youtube. Everyone talking shit about Americans are always from the U.K

[xLinkinPark209x]

@metalirocz28 it's because they have nothing better to do

[plasm2]

@metalirocz28 if thats all you ever see you must really look for those comments cause i rarely seen 1 or 2 in months. also dont stigmatise other brits with just the few comments youve seen. one comment doesnt represent 1 million people it just represents 1 pearson who saying his opinion.

[metalirocz28]

@plasm2 ok buddy dont worry im not stigmatizing other brits i never said all Brits think that, i said the comments i have seen have always been from British people.

[computer100]

[xxxxmrwinoxxxx]

can u wash you air filter to clean it?

[digitalwolves]

@xxxxmrwinoxxxx Dont wash it.. Dirt goes into the filter fabric...Best thing is take it out and clean it with a pressurized air hose, that is enough. But you can wash it after u cleaned it with air... I drove 45 thousand miles on the same air filter.. Only thing was i would clean it every few weeks.

[answer102]

FRAM FILTER! lmao

[dagnaste01]

we know to buy the think comon

[devonferris]

HOW much do air filter usually cost?

[RyanThankful]

@devonferris Usually between $12 to $20. The more expensive your vehicle so does your filter. hahaha

[devonferris]

@RyanThankful - thank you =)

[devonferris]

@RyanThankful - thank you =)

[jnnycliff]

@devonferris it can run you from $12 to $24, you want to get a regular one anyway cus I recommend you change it once every 10000mil to 15000mil. I'm drive in SF and the air is not so good here so yeah i bought a cheap one from Kragen like $12. change once evey 10k miles. hope it help.

[GT94STANG]

thank God for youtube! i was going to take my car to my local auto shop to replace the air filter but now i can see that it's really simple; glad i can save some extra cash

[zombieturd7]

when I went to collge this is all my shop teacher taught us I m ready for my job at jiffy lube

[BunnyGutter]

@zombieturd7 no dude, you're definitely more qualified than them

[desimunda116]

5 second quarter mile? damn what brand is that lol

[hlinzaga]

lol use a vacuum

[chasuca89]

cause this baby's gotta breathe!

kekeke. it does, indeed. :)

[shadymcmuffin]

I love the music!

[johnbourbon]

why don't you marry it!

[shadymcmuffin]

Sure!

[mrjost55]

wow that was the best design I've seen besides engines with carbs. I replaced a filter on an RX350 and an Eclipse and it's a bit of pain in the ass to open the cover since you gotta move and unscrew a couple of things to get to the filter element.

[pimpBGM]

do you really need a video for this i figured this out myself just poking around when i was like 15

same w/ the wiper blades

[johnbourbon]

you're gay

[satellite26hot]

where can i find the air filter in a bmw 320d diesel thanks if any1 cqn tell me thank you

[M1F2R3]

Ebay mate, ive got a New filter coming, or go to a Tuning shop... I suggest Pipercross, but HKS and K & N are good

[BuhundredReturns]

the bmw dealer?

[LittleStar1]

at any auto zone just tell them the year model and fuel type i get mines there I recommend the K&N

[lynyrd01skynyrd13]

i think everyone misunderstood his question of where is the air filter in his car haha

[theatlantean1]

I have a 2000 Porsche Carrera and I'm looking at replacing my air filter myself. However, I can't find it!! I looked in the owners manual, and it doesn't give the location. I'm tired of taking my car into the dealership and having them bend me over every time I go in for what should be a simple operation. If anyone knows where this is located on my car, I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch.

[mrjost55]

I looked at a picture of a Porsche Carrera's engine bay and it's in the box to the right....that huge box with a pipe going to it, there is an oil cap next to it.

[xihakuix]

haha yeah, it's different on a couple of luxury cars... but usually people that have luxury cars don't mind paying for labor/maintenance

[09mason09]

where abouts is the toyota yaris 2002 1.0 air filter? doese it even have 1?

[davison1021]

LOL

[1dickweed1992]

i suggest you take you car to a mechanic and tell them you want it changed if you dont know enought about cars to know if it has a air filter or not.

[fdxnaoseinomes]

how i change the air filter from a citroen ax 1.1???

[98770]

toyota are easy to repair for air filter just pop the clips & voila there it is no tools needed

[Sketchee]

It's a toyota, most are like this

[monkeyboy85]

also this guy was lucky, alot of air filters are no where near as easy as that to get to. I drive a c2 with a small engine, hence quite an empty engine bay and its still very very difficult to even get to the filter.

[JayZoop]

I recommend on Honda Civic's to greese the bolts once in awhile that fasten the top of the air filter cover because they can rust and If they do they bind with the metal studs that are mounted in plastic. If they are rusted together the metal stud damages the plastic and it's hard to get the bolts out.
