The most detailed video I've watched in removing this Mazda 3 cabin filter. Thumbs up!
It's insane that they would design a car like this to replace the cabin air filter. Either way your video was extremely helpful, Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
I agree
Not easy for a man with the big belly and thick arms. Didn't enjoy it, but worked preety well though
This is by far the best repair video I've ever seen for a 1st Gen Mazda 3. I hope your channel goes big. You have a fantastic personality and an ability to film very difficult shots. Thank you so much for demystifying this awful repair!
I'm the original owner of my 07 hatchback and I just did this for the first time. I had a hard time getting both filters out and realized right away Mazda put both filters in wrong as they've never been changed. This video clearly shows the proper way to install them.
Great video and I give this guy a lot of credit for the filming angles he was able to achieve. It's tight in there !
Great to hear this video helped. Good job getting yours changed out!
4 years later and people are still using your video with that task! It's very helpful and all details are there! awesome job and thank you for your work!
took me close to 2 hours to replace this thanks to your video. very helpful and concise, definitely would not have been able to do this without your great editing, angles, lighting and explanations. My 3 has 170k miles and with how dark the previous filter was, I really doubt it was ever changed (I don't blame the first owner for that either lol).
ill be honest though, I'm never doing that again. I'm all for DIY but this project was very very close to not being worth it for me. I feel awful for the people who work in shops and have to do these more than once... The space is so awkward to get to and disconnecting/reconnecting everything was very difficult with the lack of room, poor visibility, and awkward positioning that it requires. Hardest part by far was getting the new filter in, one hand would keep getting in the way of the other. I almost made a little rig to hold up the top filter so i could slide the bottom one in because of that.. smaller hands would help in this situation
This video was very helpful. The directions were very easily understood and easy to follow. The hardest part was actually getting in there and doing the changing, otherwise great! Good job
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback! :)
Same generation of Mazda 6 was much simpler- remove glove box. Thanks for the video- I laugh every time I watch your intro. Good explanations, good lighting generally, and step-by-step. Yours is the best on this topic- Thanks!
Good to hear and thanks for watching!
Real talk homie. Your personality is great on the camera. It was really enjoyable to watch. ALSO, extremely thorough and detailed video on the replacements. Good shit homie
Thanks man!
I usually skip through tutorials to get to where I want to see but your video was entertaining to follow, I couldn't click off! I love your energy and that you only keep the important information in your video! Best teacher ever!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for helping us all out. I always disconnect the negative battery cable first though whenever I'm messing around with electronics like the fuse box in this case. Just better to be safe than sorry. Thanx again for posting!
Excellent explanation for how to deal with what may be the worst-engineered cabin air filter system in automotive history. (I have done this before. I'm having to get re-educated because the previous experience was so frustrating that I blocked it from memory. ;-D)
After watching this video I now feel confident in replacing my own filters. Thanks for the instructions.
After twisting myself into positions I didn't think I was capable of, I managed to replace the cabin air filter in my 07 Mazda 3 for the first time, thanks to this video!
Thank you for your time to share this video as it's very helpful. I had taken out the glove box and was at the exact area where you began. Those fine details that you covered made this a whole lot easier.
Awsome.. I did not want to have to tear out my glove box just to swap my cabin filter. I've got a 06 M3S. Been working on her recently and one of the only things left to do is a new Cab filter. I appreciate your thorough video bro! You've made my life a whole lot easier.
That’s great to hear! It’s comment like these that make it worth making these videos! Thanks for sharing and thanks for finding me and watching :)
🔧🔩🏆 This is an exceptional how-to video. The results are a 5-star production, Binh! You offer straight-forward directions every step of the way, you cover all the steps required, and, best of all, you don't have any annoying background music.
Thank you so much for this comment!!! And yesssss someone noticed the background music, I totally agree. Background is music is fine and all but many videos its more forground than background. But again, thank you and thank you for watching!
Great DIY video. This process is a pain in the ass. Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
I watched the whole video and I liked the instruction you gave and the fast forwarding. (Note: I don’t have this type of car ... lol 😂)
Yours is the best instructional videos I've seen for replacing these filters. Your verbal instructions are clear, and camera works is very good.
I'm off to the store to go buy some air filters now. Thanks!
watts300 thank you for watching and letting me know! Good luck with your install!
@@BinhDong It went well! No issues. My old filters were abysmal. Very gross. For some reason my AC stopped working after I finished though. Ha. Oh well. A new project now!
@@watts300 did you ever figure out your ac?
@@BinhDong No. :(
Well...I had anxiety attack before even thinking about replacing my cabin filter. Now, I am ready to go sir. Job well done.
Thanks for demonstrating why when it's time to change the cabin air filter the car should be considered totaled
Hahahahaha
First car I’ve worked on that doesn’t have a pop-out glove box. This is helpful! Well done, man! Thank you!
Jeffrey Barker the glovebox does come out. Not as easy as other cars though. But it doesn’t help taking out the glovebox for this install imho. You would have to take out the trim piece that goes to the radio and there are like two or three screws under that trim piece plus you have to take out/pull back the weather stripping from the door.
You are a lifesaver! I love this video. Its clear, concise and its entertaining! Keep on doing what you are doing, I appreciate you!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!! Awww yeahhh I'm glad the video helped!
This is the best video of replacing the cabin air filter on this car! Can't believe this wasn't the top search result when looking
Thank you. Decided to replace the filter at 116000 miles. Dirty but still working fine.
What a job. It was a real PITA. But thank you for all your help.
Awesome video, you made it much more entertaining and motivational! Managed to pull this off on a RHD Mazda 3. Filming this must have been a real challenge, but you managed to make it very clear. Massive thanks!
You’re welcome! Great to hear that this worked on a RHD Mazda 3 too!
Just completed this job. What a giant pain in the butt! But your instructions were perfect. I had my laptop on a stool next to my car showing your video the whole time. Thanks! You saved me big $$
Gosh, your instructions and demonstration are so good! So much better than the last guy I watched. Thank you! You're a very smart guy.
Very thorough and helpful video! I've been dreading replacing this filter but this helps immensely. Thank you!
Thank you for not editing out all the bolt removal and bracket removal! Here in 2024 working on my gen 1🎉🎉🎉
Great camera work Binh. Appreciate the clear step by step instructions. Excellent!
The video was excellent and helpful! I would have probably given up without your funny and thorough (but not ridiculously long) explanation and walk through. Like a few others, I got stuck at removing the bolts from the fuse bracket, but I borrowed a better socket wrench from neighbor and was back on track. Lining up the filters and getting them in place was also a bit trickier than I expected. All in in all, it probably took me two hours, but now I could it in 45 minutes for sure. I spent a good bit of time trying to contort myself to get a good angle working from the wheel well. I love my 2008 Mazda 3, but I'm not sure I won't go back to spending $100 to get this done at a shop. I'm thankful that I had your tips to get me through it, but it was frustrating nonetheless. Not your fault! Thanks Mazda. :-P
Just got a new to me 2008 Mazda3. This is by far the best video to change the cabin air filter. It made a painful process much bearable. What were those Mazda zoom zoom engineers thinking???
Thanks for the helpful video.
Thank you for this video, it finally gave me the courage to tackle this tonight and it was a success!
Such a great detailed video. Thank you! It's so cramped down there!
Binh, you're my new superhero. My '06 Mazda3 is in serious need of a filter change, and your procedure beats every other vid I've watched. Tomorrow I go your way to change my cabin filters. Thanks much, bro. bd
Got mine done today. Really helps to say Owww Yeeah at the completion of each step. I recommend doing this at the same interval I've done mine on my 2008 speed 3. You'll want to do this once every 12 years or 94k miles. For speed owners there is a black airflow sensor attached that you can see clearly the cutout for at the 6m mark . There are two more cables to disconnect here but you don't have to unscrew the screws holding the black piece in. This is for the automatic climate control systems.
Best video on this nightmare of a filter change…you rock Binh! 🤘🏼
Awww yeahhh
Great quality and detailed instructions. I'm trying it this week. Thanks and subscribed !
Thanks buddy! Looks so much easier than other videos i've seen, which have made me avoid even trying it. I know my filters are nasty, so i'll be bustin this out soon. Nice work, my man!
I appreciate you and your video. Swapped out my 11 y.o. cabin air filter w your help. Keep it up. BTW no kidding about big guys getting in there . What a pain.
Thanks man, great video explaning everything in detail!
Best video on this maintenance job by far! Also, probably a good idea to disconnect the battery.
Great stuff, I finally know how to replace this without damaging the fuse box. Thanks lad
You are a hero! I appreciate the effort it took to shoot this video. Thank you so much! Cheers!
glad it helped!
just want to say thanks for the great guide! it was still a pita to change knowing what to expect though. i recommend anyone doing this to remove the glove box as well. i left the cables intact with the fusebox holder which meant less angles for me to see. had i removed the glove box, i would have been able to see the fitment of the filters better and be able to vacuum all the crap in there. i did this on a RHD, so the process was almost the same on the passenger side. differences are no filter sensor to disconnect, the filter cover is black and the 4 screws holding it are easier to access. also you remove the top filter first and then the bottom one. i ended up with a CEL. i just disconnected the negative terminal on the battery afterwards for 15 mins to reset it.
Great instructional video! Others posting here can learn from this. Thanks
Fantastic job! Very detailed, took the right camera shots, the comparison, with a little humor 😁💯 thanks for sharing.
Hi Dong, thank you so much. I won't be able to make it without your video. You save my life.
Great to hear this helped :)
Thank you for posting this! Just changed the cabin air filter in my 2009 Mazda 3. Next vehicle I will check filter location before buying 😆
Glad it helped
Just got the job done using this guide. Couldn't get that really small clip at 5:30 out, but managed to skip that part. Thanks for the detailed video!
Absolutely the best tutorial. Thanks to you now. I know how to change that filter on my wife’s Mazda.
Thanks for posting a great tutorial. I followed it and it removed stale smell of my (new to me) 3. Transformed the car. Thanks!
Great to hear!!!
Awesome job with video, editing, and explaining. Thanks!
This helped me. Thank you for this detailed video in removing Mazda 3 cabin filter.
Great job and thank you for taking the time to me the video for us
we r the mazda3 owner who's living in Taiwan ,n the video help us so much thx for you a lot.
It’s verrrry helpful!
Many thanks!
Thank you!! you could not have been ay clearer..I have a K & N air filter for the engine and I like to keep the maintenance bills down as I am a 74 retired guy. Most of all i enjoy doing it.
Great video. The tips were helpful for sure, I'll be doing mine for the first time !
This is the most helpful video ive found, thank you so much
I enjoyed and was impressed on how detailed and funny you made this video "Oh Yea" ---two thumbs up!!!
Hey man. Just wanted to say great job on the video. With all that detail you made the job easy for me. Great job.
I've done my oil and filters change a month ago and I've told my mechanic not to bother with the cabin filter cause I'll do it my self(and save some money). I came back to this video to finally encourage myself to do it haha. (I'm a big Boi too).
Awesome video, I'm so happy to watch it's nice and clear.
Thanks for watching!!
Thx so much for being so clear with this. I could not put it back together without this vid. Taking it apart was easy.
It was also easier at night and some wine :)
Amazing work and great instructions thanks
Thanks for this video! I think the reason why many other youtubers take out the glovebox is to create more working space. Instead of working in such a tight space. I'll be needing to do this too on my mazda 3 2005 sedan soon.
It worked great today, slowly followed video one step at a time. Fast reassembly. Only problem was my 6'4" 250 lb body had issues with getting in there. Thanks - Thanks - Thanks.
Nice work! I know the feeling, Imagine working under the dash of a miata loll
Thx for your nice detailed video. I just changed 2007 mazda 3 cabin filter. Very helpfull video.
Very. Good detailed instructions and video, thanks 👍👍
Amazing video. Thank you for all the details.
Thanks for the great tutorial!
It looks like a nightmare, but with this guy cheerful personality, I can do it no problem.
You got this!
@@BinhDong thanks man
Im also a big guy 6Ft 4inch 290 LBS Thanks for the video it helped me put filter in correctly. A+ video
Just done changing it for my wife after watching your video. Thank you so much
Thank you, very useful video with great details.
that was cool!! I was enjoying watching while listening on how you deliver the instructions
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I subscribed because of the difficulty level and you've got bro vibe. Thanks BD!
You’re welcome Awww Yeahhh :)
this video was 10/10 for help!
This really helped me. Thanks for the detail, and the "ohhh yeaaa" got a smile and a like outta me too.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!
Thanks man 😊. This video really helped me a lot.
Wow absolutely great job with the video and putting it together everything looks great
Great to hear. Thanks you!
Great video! Tight spot for big guys as you mentioned! I felt like a contortionist when I was done....but man, the air flow!
😂😂
Hello again!! This is Second time I've used your video to do this DIY repair. Very detailed, I love it. However as a bigger guy it's MUCH easier to remove the glovebox first
I'm glad to hear this! Thanks for coming back! I do agree, for us bigger guys it might be easier with the glovebox out.
A machanic told me he changed the cabin air filter but I really doubt if he did😂 Cuz I can't verify it myself lol... I really appreciate your time and efforts for capturing the entire process, once I got in there for connecting a dashcam, its a very tight spot no proper lighting. Thanks a lot mate!
Awesome video man, you just made my life a lot easier!
Hey! I just finished doing this - thanks for the detailed video
You're welcome :)
Oh yeahhhh. Awesome video. Saved me a few hundred bucks. Thanks.
Oooohhhh Yeah!!!!Thanks to this video, I saved a lot of money.
Thank you for the good explanation..i like your videos
That was massively helpful. thx!
Thank you for your video! Very helpful!
Thanks Big Dog...!!!!! Keep up the good work....
Man, I wish I found yours first. I just disassembled half my damn passenger side unnecessarily. Good job, dude.
Thanks! I'm not too sure why other instructions say to remove the glovebox. It doesn't obstruct access at all.
Ya definitely not for the bigger guys 🤣🤣 I just did my first change followed ur instructions, worked perfectly thanks brutha
Super video! Thank you!
This video really helped me a lot !! Thanks 🙏 bro
You are welcome and glad to hear it! Thanks or letting me know. Happy cleaner air :)
Very nice and derailed video. Thanks from Greece.!!!
