- The cabin air filter on your Subaru STi gets dirty quick- I'd recommend changing it once a year, or around every 10,000 miles. Keeping it clean will reduce musty smells from your cars A/C and heat as well as keep dust to a minimum inside your car.
Here is the link to the cabin air filter I used: www.amazon.com...

Went to the dealership to get an oil change since i get 4 free a year. They came to me while i was waiting and showed me my cabin air filter which was dirty to be fair, and he says “we can have them change it for you. Its gonna be like 80 bucks” i said no its ok. I went to their parts desk 5 feet away and bought one for 20. Wasnt sure where it was so here i am. You just saved me 60 dollars my friend, thank you
Thanks for the informational video without ten minutes of BS 😊
Love the fast simple instructions and camera angles 👌
Simple, straightforward, to the point. This is how all how-to videos should be. Well done! We don’t need 8 minutes of self-promotion or mind numbing, unnecessary verbal clutter.
Thanks! Went to change my cabin filter this morning, and had a stumped caveman moment at the arm on the right side. All of my prior cars were just pinch-and-drop. Thank goodness I didn't break it!
First time doing this at 20k miles, I should have done it a bit sooner to say the least. But great video, made it super easy and take 5 mins.
Best tutorial out there for this
Thank you so much. Great, clear video.
Awesome vid! Simple yet very informative…Subaru should hire you! Thank you.
Great instructions!! Now I’m ready to do the change on my 2020 WRX and the wife’s Crosstrek when it’s time.
Nice tip using the pliers at the start to move the first part to the right.
That has to be the easiest cabin air filter replacement I've seen yet.
Yo Elsa love your video bro. Please keep doing it.
Great video just replaced mine at 100k... yal dont wanna know what it looked like😅
Just ordered mine, thanks for the how to!
+Wes Cooper Happy to help!
I just got two in last week from dooxi.com !
👁️👄👁️
Me watching this with 65k miles on my '17 thinking maybe it's time to change...
Same lmao
same lmao ordering one now
I need to do this myself soon, too haha!! Do people add a small spray of air freshener on their filter or would it be too overpowering?
Great video man, subscribed :) Keep it up!
I haven't heard of anyone doing that. I suppose a spritz wouldn't harm anything- it's worth trying.
very clear. I will watch it again when I replace mine lol. Thanks OP
I had a VW before my WRX and that was easy. It was in the passenger side foot well. Nothing to remove or get out of the way. Just take a peek in the top part of the footwell, pull it out, pop new one in. That’s it.
great video! you def motivated me to go change mine out, I'm sure it's so bad and needs to be done asap.
Thank you jus changed mine in my 2015 Impreza
How bad was it?
Thanks for the video! Great job!
Excellent video mate.
Thanks, I found this very helpful! I have a 2018 WRX limited, and I find rattles are coming from various interior plastic components. Maybe when I'm in there changing the filter I'll see if anything is loose.
Does anyone else have issues with their late model WRX and rattles? I will say my 2018 rattles less than the 2017 that I also bought brand new. Really the only disappointing thing about this car so far. Hard to believe I bought two brand new models and both o f them rattle.
S T mine rattles, same year. These cars are known for rattling but that's what you get for strong performance at such a good price!
Great video, very clear!
should i worry about WARNING: California’s Proposition 65 for the product on amazon?
Very simple, thank you!
Good job ordered mine
I was always curious about those "filters." I guess I'll stick with the Dooxi "oil filter." :-)
Mine has a big wiring loom in front of it making removing the filter impossible. Not sure why it is run there in the first place. And i dont see it on this car🤔
good,video..,changed,mine,today. took,maybe 2 minutes tops
Thanks 😮
Same filter for 17 wrx ?
Yes, it's the same.
Thank you :)
Do you have an Accessport? You should make a video explaining how dangerous and terrible the stock tune on the ECU is. The factory tune tune gets worse every year to make that 15 year old engine meet emissions.
The stock tune isn't smooth and has its issues for sure, but calling it dangerous is a bit overstated.
Ask any tuner, it gets more dangerous every year. Stick a wideband onit
with the stock tune and floor it. It will stay at 14.7 AFR for almost 3
seconds. The open-close loop switch is the main problem. The stock tune
will beat the rod bearings out of the engine because of the lean
running. COBB and MAP recently made detailed articles about it actually.
+Pro60modman I've released the articles. The stock tune is less than ideal given emission standards among other things. But saying a car manufacturer is sending out cars with "dangerous" tunes is just not accurate. If they were truly dangerous Subaru would address it. They wouldn't want to warranty all the engines exploding if it were truly that bad.
Yet they do. It's a known fact EJ257's beat the rod bearings out of themselves or break ring lands on the stock tune very quickly when driven hard due to the exaggerated lean AFR's thanks to the closed/open loop switch and primary OL table calibration. I've seen it happen over 20 times on stock STI's with less than 20k miles in my local area that were brought to my shop. Take the engines apart and you'll find beat rod bearings and or broken pistons. Look at the stock ROM and you'll see the issue. Plenty of manufacturers have sent out new cars with unsafe tunes. The EJ257 is 13 years old and the bottom end has hardly changed other than a nitrated crankshaft. It's not costing Subaru much money.
Great video!
The clip fell off, I noticed three holes on it, any purpose for the top two holes?
Many thanks!
I changed mine at 62,000 a little after I got it and was extremely dirty, sure it was never changed.
It's one filter people often forget about.
I just got two in last week from dooxi.com !
What happened to your STI ?
You actually do not need pilers , it was able to come off with out it.
thanks
I'm at 1,500 miles now, and mine is stinking up the cabin helllla bad.
Got quoted $65 at Subaru of Portland!
WTF then I asked well how much is the filter by itself $40 God damn!
So $25 labor? WTF!
All along I knew the price but just wanted to check, i got mines at Lithia Subaru for $17!
I wonder if mines need to be change 2016 STi at 7000 miles?
+Robert Ocampo You've got a little time yet. When you hit 10k I'd order a filter and do it!
I found some bugs and leaves after changing mine at 20k
like, comment, subscribe! It's amazing how many people will let a dealership charge them 40 bucks to change this.
+John Blankenship Thanks man! So crazy people pay insane money to have a shop or dealer do this.
Changing mine at 40k miles for the first time 🤨
I broke all 4 tabs? Now what?
lol, I just paid $160 to have the cabin air filter replaced by our mechanics. If it really is this easy ... um ... should I just do it myself.
M
the more dirty the best it works.. blocks all the small debris
😂
Actually no. It would just bypassing all the air around it.
