- Here is my virgin attempt to save a bunch of money by changing my own 2015 Kia soul cabin air filter. Follow along and be sure to watch the other videos on UA-cam. I did not rehearse this; it really was my first time. If I can do it, so can you.
Enjoy a treat with the money that you just saved doing this simple task yourself.
Whooooo-hooooo
My husband died 10 weeks ago. Thanks to you, I just replaced my own cabin filter. I've never done anything like this. 💪
Sorry for your loss...may his memory be a blessing! Doing a happy dance for you; good emoji for strength and confidence! You go gurrrrlll :-)
Sorry for your loss. Never be afraid of doing maintenance items like this. It will definitely save you lots of money.
Bless you I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

OMG what a coincidence my hubby of 36 yrs passed a month ago & here I find myself trying to learn how to do this myself. I wonder if this is a stop for new widows 😔
I am sorry for your loss, virtual hug 🫂
Lindy - remember men watch your videos too! After seeing you this morning I ordered the filter online and will change it in two days when it arrives. With the money I saved I bought #1 barrel swivels for fishing (although I could sure use a mani/pedi!!!) Thank you Lindy!
“Fish On”!! 🐠 Thank you for your comment and sense of humor about it 😏 Good luck with your filter, too!
This was great, I just did this myself thanks to you.
The dealership wanted $90 for both engine and cabin filters, I did both for $25, thanks again!
Whoopee, you go Michelle!
Dealerships prices are crazy. Local shops not so much. If able do it yourself yay.
It took me 7 years to find out there was a filter in the glovebox. UA-cam has taught me how to change my own spark plugs it also taught me how to clean the intake with crc intake cleaner spray which is so important I used two cans two weeks apart my 2016 soul is running like it’s brand new I also change the pcv valve and will do the brakes soon. The days of the service department at the dealership ripping us humans off is over. Thank god for UA-cam.
YES!!! Thanks for your update. And helpful hints that you deploy. Good on YOU. Sorry I never saw your comment until now...one year later.
OMG, first of all, you are just the cutest! Secondly, thank you for making this video. I just got back from getting an oil change and they told me that I needed mine changed soon and that it was going to cost $90! Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this one on my own.
Wow, really? We know that no one is forcing anyone to do any service. Secondly, I'm glad that the mechanics took the time to check that for me and gave me the option of whether I wanted them to do the service or not. I love my people at my dealership and they have been nothing but great to me. So, when is comes to major issues like engine or electrical problems, I would gladly give the mechanics my money to fix it because they have the access to the parts, the knowledge and labor that goes into a job like that. But you gonna be kidding me that you would leave rant comments like this over air filters? Dude come on! I mean they wanted to charge me $45 for a regular air filter change, which I knew from my 1993 Acura Legend was a easy DIY job. But if it wasn't for Lindy's video I would have spent all that money on something I know I can do myself. Man, I really wish you didn't leave this on my comment. I just want to express to Lindy how grateful I was for her video. But I guess you're entitled to your opinion. But I hope you realize that my opinion of you now is that you are a troll...so...good job getting your point across at least on my comment or me anyways. :)
Questi0ns&Answers Questi0ns&Answers no, you missed my point. I got your point, you says techs get a bad name, certain services that may be similar with this one may be more difficult on other models and it doesn't help that Lindy made one stupid comment on the video. Did I hit them all without having to go into detail again like your last comment? And yet I guess this video and my comment seemed to bug you so much you felt compelled to comment on my comment and on her video. I understand how mechanics work| I deal with them at my job, I've had personal friendships with some and I even made the comment in my last that mechanic deserve the work on major issues. So in reality, you're missing my point. Which is, don't leave a comment on someone who never said anything negative. And if you have a problem with what the person in the video said, leave a comment on her video, not on a person who is leaving a nice comment. By the way, you did get your original point across to me but if you were trying to convince me this time that you're not a troll, my opinion stays the same. 😜 The funny thing is that I'll probably tell my dealership about this and they will probably get a kick out of it. I hope you have an awesome day! 😊
Questi0ns&Answers oh and by the way, I wasn't name calling. Because if you look up in the urban dictionary: troll
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument...which on my comment, is what you did. And the really funny thing is that, if you only commented on the video, I wouldn't have even said anything because you wouldn't have involved me. Ahh well, I still got love (my way of saying respect) for you tho. 😁 Hahaha, man, people today.
Great video and I'm glad you took the troll to task!
I can't believe you left a comment 2 years ago already! I hope you are still changing your filter, solo ♥
Thank you...
Now my daughter, a college student, can afford to get a manicure thanks to your video.
We love your video...but above all thank you for saving my 20 yr some $$$.
Haha! Love this. Thanks for the report and good luck to your daughter in everything she does!
Thank you so much ❤️. Money has been pretty hard to come by lately and my Kia dealership was trying to charge me $140 to change my engine and AC filter. Thanks to you and RetroGuy it was a simple fix and I’m feeling amazing bc I saved $100 😩🙏🏾❤️. You are awesome for this.
So glad that during trying times, you DIY! And you feel amazing while saving moola! Yay
I just went thru the same ordeal with mechanics trying to charge me $100 to change 2 air filters. I looked it up on UA-cam and saved myself about $70!! And it only took about 3 minutes! You go girl!
You go go girl, too! Happy to hear you could DIY
I was browsing youtube for the best way to clean a much more expensive washable cabin filter, and saw your video.. I am impressed you didn’t fall for the dealer/mechanic shakedown.. to everyone who sees this video,you can do this and change the engine air filter as well and save a lot of money..now that you have the basics down, don’t forget to change the filter every 10-15 thousand miles, they tend to get moldy in that time and the air starts to smell funky, or you can buy a K&N filter which is washable and never have to buy a filter again.. they cost around $40 and are washable
Thanks Welding_guy for your comment! A reusable filter is the next logical step. I will look into that, for sure.
You are my new hero, thank you! Dealership tried to charge me $75 for this.
Heeyyy now! Proud of you. It's pollen season so good thing you changed it!
Yes it worked really easy when you said its like the price of getting nails or feet done um heck yea it was. Thanks for the video Kia wanted over $400 for that 20 bucks waaay better than their deal.
This is empowering and I helped my daughter change her filter w this video
Ty so much!
“You don’t need a man, you just need more confidence “
Epic!!!! 💕✌️☀️
Wow, I got an Epic!! Yipee...thanks for your comment! Moms and daughters doin' stuff together. Epic!
Kia tried to charge me $80. I bought it on amazon for $9. GETTIN’ ME A PEDICURE!! 😇
Happy toes! You go gurl! Thanks for letting me know ;-)
You can get them at advanced Auto parts for pretty cheap as well and then you don't have to wait for Amazon to deliver it but congratulations on your pedicure
As another woman who insists on doing as much of my car stuff as possible, right on! :D screw paying someone else so much for these things. *high five!*
Ha! Agree and high-5 back...
My mechanic told me my filter is super dirty now that I have seen you're video I will follow you're lead. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure! I'm sure you'll do as great a job as your mechanic!
@@upstandingmobilitymy filter was super dirty. Went to auto zone and now I'm getting a manicure and pedicure. Thanks
@@patricianewell7723 I'm doing a happy dance for you...go Patricia!
Airflow down! Thank you. I took out my own filter and couldn’t remember which way the filter was facing.
I know, right?
Great video! Straight forward and simple. Also glad to know this is extra work but worth the savings 😊
Worth the savings, you bet! Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for your awesome video. Now I can change the cabin air filter for my mom's truck without needing to deal with the stealership.
I never heard that moniker but I like it ;-)
I don’t know what it is about her but I just love this lady!
Ha-ha...awkward...I'm right here! But Thanks for sending the love and here it is back atcha ♥
Love your confidence and enthusiasm. Great job!
That is so nice of you to say, I appreciate it! Hope it helps you out if you need to change your filter.
This is just so great! I’ll have to wait till my torn rotator cuff heals.
Thank you so very much ! A senior lady living on my own!
"Active Old Adult"...not senior lady! Yes, please wait and don't torque your rotator cuff changing the filter. Let us know how it goes.
You are very smart, thanks for teaching us how to change it and save money
I'm not that smart but I accept your comment graciously! :-) I'm so happy if you changed your own filter!
Your Husband is a lucky man.
Thanks for the informative video!
Awww, thanks...now pass the word on how to change the filter ;-)
So I used an after market filter for the same price and it is not fitting.
So I might go back and get a Kia filter. Thank you. Exactly what I needed to see.
The KIA dealership where I live has a "retail" window right there near the lobby for do it our self people like us!
Try wix
Glory to God for your effort. I'm so proud of you and grateful for your help. As car consumers we must educate ourselves on everything we can do for our cars to save money and avoid being taken advantage of. Thanks a million time over. You're simply the Best. From Ms Bernie owner of a 2019 Kia Soul. I'm trying to still get answers why my car steams up on the inside when I turn on the heat, also water 💧 is leaking from under the dashboard. I read that another owner said, " that the AC line gets clogged with debris and needs to be blown out with air". If you know or have heard about how to resolve that problem please inform us. I'm not going to continue searching . Once again thanks 😊
Ms. Bernie, I hope you get some answers about your issues with your Soul steaming up and water leaking!!! I am not a mechanic but wish I were. Good luck.
Lindy!!! Totally AWESOME VIDEO! Thanks to your video, I feel confident in changing my air filter on my Kia Soul. You ROCK!
SoftPetals37 YOUrock😉
I thank you for this video..I just went to purchase my cabin air filter at the dealership for $27.11 (including) tax.. Thank you so much for this #girlpower.. Going to get my pedicure 😊😉😆
Thanks for your cute note! I now own a KIA Forte, have different glasses and the price of the filter went up but I guess this video is still helpful :-)
@@upstandingmobility Amazon for your cabin air filter...have a look
I learned to do both air filters and lights also, some work to do, but save lots of money too. Thanks
It feels good to save money and DIY, congratulations!
thank you so much. THAT WAS AWESOME. you did great. now I can do it instead of the Kia soul dealership . I love it when I learn something new .. AND I'M A GUY. love it just love.
Shy Billy isn’t shy about saying nice things about the video and being a guy learning stuff! Yay! 😁
You are awesome! After watching, I went out and did it! Thank you so much!!
Whoo-hoo Tami! Thanks for sharing the cabin air filter love ♥
I just got took for like 59.00 well my hubs did and i was furious because he let them do it. I was sure it had to be super simple like you showed us ....ty so much
Hubs did something nice which is AWESOME! You DIY next time ;-)
OMG, best video!! I'm going to change mine tomorrow, thanks for the tutorial! Jiffy Lube wanted $50 to change mine. P.S. I bet you would be fun to hang around with, lol. Thanks again. 🤩
Great news...take THAT, Jiffy Lube! I appreciate your comment. I am more fun than a barrel of monkeys even when not changing filters lol.
I've heard of dealer service departments asking like $50 for labor plus $20 for the part for this job. So you saved $50 bucks. I hate to tell you this but a pedicure, which costs about $50 in my town, it may be a bit more difficult to do than changing a filter, require more skill, and it will require more time - but it isn't that hard that you can't also do a pedicure yourself. Then you could give $50 to your favorite charity.
Thanks Theodore for your great idea which I already live. Besides working, I carve out time to volunteer with the local Parkinson's group, I drive a 93 year old neighbor where he needs to go plus I signed up for my first blood drive at the end of the month. So instead of donating money, I give willingly my time to people and groups who need help. I find that more fulfilling than writing a check (which I just did for my friend's 39 mile Avon walk in NYC).
Oy, a pedicure where I live is only $35 plus tip!
Thanks for the video! Valvoline wanted to charge me $60 for this. I will order and install myself. 👍
I love seeing “can do” thumbs up! Yay!
Straight forward and to the point! Good job! The dealerships are such a rip-off on most things that you can do yourself.... Video: case and point 👌
We can't open the hood and poke around like back in the day...you're right that this is one thing we can do ourselves until the dealer makes us buy a special tool or something!
Well you made it so easy, for something so easy 😱😱 that's what you get for putting it off thks a lot 👍👍
You're more than welcome!!
This worth watching!! Straight and to the point
So happy you found value in the video! Yay!
Most excellent DIY vid. My sister has a KIA. Going to turn her on to your channel.
Gordon GMan sooo happy to hear! Thx
Thank you. I now have more confidence to replace my filter.
Glad I could help and thank you for your comment!
Thank you for your video. It saved me so much time and money.
Sooo happy to hear this. I have since moved on from my SOUL to a Forte but just can't take down the video because people still comment. Thanks!
This was a big help. I just did my own thanks girl!!!
MandaP Kat amazeballs, right?!?!
Thanks for sharing video. You just saved me $38. Amazon had filter for $10.
Awesome...what did you do with your savings, get a pedicure?! ;-)
No pedicure! Haven't May no decision yet! When I do it will be put forth for any family needs.
Awesome, thank you so much. Will have you keep your video for when I get me a filter to replace the old one
I hope your DIY filter change is easy peasy!
Hey, not just ladies, I used your video as a guide for how to change the air filter after my dealer tried the same scam on me!
You go...guy (lol) I'm happy to hear it!
Thank you so much. I just left the auto shop for an oil change. And they try to charge me one hundred dollars for this.
Wow, it's gone up! Thanks for the report back.Glad you said no to the shop!🤩
Your amazing. I’m doing mine tomorrow.
How did it go for you? Easy, I hope!
@@upstandingmobility it was so easy. I accidentally broke the clips but everything holds in place and the air smells amazing.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT! We love to see it lindy! Thank you queen.
Queen of Filters and questionable videos says thank you...I'm her scribe and she is dictating this to me. ha ha ha
Lindy Smith love it! Keep up the awesome videos you guys rock. ✨❤️
Thanks for the video, the repair shops make it sound like its a “ BIG DEAL “ to change it out, 😀
Great to know you outsmarted them! Thanks for your comment, it makes my day!
Thank you, i will try to change mine tomorrow! I ordered the parts 💅 and my nails are done!
Oh! Great news!!! I do hope it goes smoothly and that you enjoy your pretty nails 💅
Works great, just as you describe. Thanks so much Lindy!
Thank YOU for letting all of us know! 😉
Helping us still in 2021!! Thank you!
Ha-ha, may you have many more years with your Soul! Thanks for writing!
YOU GO GIRL! 👍😄💕💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Thank you so much Lindy for this wonderful excellent guiding video to help me install my new Cabin air filter on Rosie my KIA Soul+!
She loves it! Lol! 😄😊💕
$aved $80 that the dealer wanted to do it! God bless you Lindy, Rock On & keep those Positive Vibes alive!

🥁 Drumroll please! Wow, thanks for all the Positive Vibes 💕✨🌀about installing the filter in Rosie…
Outstanding job, thanks for sharing and helping others save 💰
Thanks for your comment and even though I am one year late, I appreciate it sooo much!!!!
Good job for you. Now I will help my mom and do the same thing for her.
Awwww, brownie points for helping Mom! I'm a Mom so appreciate the consideration ;-)
I'm a dude. Immagona buy myself a beard growth kit now. This helped a lot
Dude. You’ll have money for all the conditioning cream, too! Glad it helped ;-)
big girl! thanks again... you're special. great job.
Well, thanks a lot!
I think the secret to this is you have to be a woman :-) My dealer wanted nearly 70 bucks to change the cabin air filter on my 2018 Kia Soul. That struck me as insane. So I watched the same YT videos you did, went to Advance Auto Parts, bought a high end filter for 25 bucks and took it home. The first plastic piece came off easy, but that little plastic piece with the tabs was IMPOSSIBLE to get out. I tried everything; spent probably an hour or two trying. Finally, gave up and drove back to Advanced Auto Parts. I explained all this to the young woman cashier with the dyed purple hair and the pierced nostril and she smiled, went out to my car, and popped it right out, then replaced th filter and buttoned it all up. I spent a full two minutes thanking her and telling her how wonderful she was...
What an adorable story! Thanks for trusting a purple haired pierced employee to get it done. And, thanks also for sharing that Advance Auto Parts is a good place to get a filter. Go @stevenwomack9574
You "ROCK..GIRL!"
Who-hooo, thanks bunches!
Thank you! The dealership wants to charge me $66 to install this $18 cabin air filter!
Go Queenie! I'm glad the video helped you out...thanks for letting us know 😁
I believe that we , women can do it to!!! Instead of people taking advantage of us. Simple stuff then Mani-Pedi🥰
Simple stuff that looks difficult, right? Happy mani-pedi!
I’m not a lady but my mom wants me to replace hers so here I am
OMG, this is so great...thanks for helping out your mom. Every day should be Mother's Day ♥ ;-)
That was great! Appreciate the share. Thank you for your confident assistance!
Well, thanks a lot for your comment and I'm hoping it helps you change your filter!
Omg thank you so much for this yea they wanted an unnecessary amount, but tbh it took me a while to get the clicks to put that black part back over the filter, but I was doing it at night once I did it during the day I had it lol thanks Lindy! 😊
Click, click...it is easier to do it in the daytime so I'm glad you didn't give up!!! Yay
I have a 2013 Kia Soul. I think I have to remove approximately 8 screws, but still do-able. 💪👍
My 1st SOUL was a 2013 Alien Green! Keep that baby going! Let us know how the attempt went. Good luck!
Thanks. Good and easy information.
I am so happy that you found it helpful, thanks!
I subbed. I love this. Video. You are the best.
Yay! Thank you so much. :-)
Great video. Dealerships are stealerships.
Well, I think I can say this air filter is easy to fix but I wouldn't attempt a brake job...for that I go to the local mechanic before the dealership! Ha!
@@upstandingmobility I've been doing my own brakes and other work since I was old enough to drive (over 30 years). Once you see how easy basic maintenance is, it's maddening to see how mechanics and dealerships rip people off.
What year is your kia? I watched another video prior to this one & he took 8 screws out & pulled out the entire glove box, it looked simple I'm just afraid I won't be able to put it back together. It's the simplest things that always get me, all it takes is for 1 screw to not cooperate 🤣
Thank you so much for the video 💞
One year late, but thank you for your comment and your hearts!!! haha it is always something as Rosanna Rosannadana used to say ;-)
People don't realize that basic maintanance is very simple and save some money. I can do oil change, replace air filter, cabin filter by myself maybe under$100 compare some lube shop cost $50-$100 just do the oil change.
Agreed but we don't just hang out around open hoods these days like the good ol days. Dads...teach your kids, right Samuel?
Women ' Most of the time if you purchase an aftermarket filter or battery or wiper blades etc. most auto parts places like AutoZone will install it for free...One of the perks of shopping there. After market parts made for your vechile are just as good or sometimes better than the dealer . Just FYI
Allrighty then, thanks for the info and if anyone out there does use a auto part store, let us know if your experience was + or -
Great video. I wish you had said how much $ the shop was going to charge
I can't remember now...sorry I didn't see your comment til now! It was a lot :-(
Nice job!
Thanks very much!
You are very confident,, thank you,,
How about can you replace the light bulb while you have the glove box out?
Haha Judy, that's a good question! I hope you investigate that and then make a video showing us how to do it!!!
@@upstandingmobility I hope I can, I took the glove box out a few times, I'm so good at it now. Lol
We went to auto zone they didn't have the right replaceable bulb. Idk. Thx Linda
Its different from 2013 to 2015 glove box light bulb replacement.
You just MADE MY DAY!!!! 💙🙌🏻💚 Signed, -A Dude, & a Gay Auto Dude at that! You Go Girl! 😎
So joyous and heartfelt, thanks for your comment: YOU MADE MY DAY...glad something so unedited, unfiltered and without false eyelashes made YOUR day!!!
Thanks
I meant to say "thank you" but got lost in the thread. Hope it worked out for you to DIY!
Well done. Well done
Thanks Christina! Hope you are able to change yours too :-)
Thanks very much .real easy to do.Hiw much were they going to charge you?
John Moyer I can’t remember anymore but it sure but just the labor cost was a lot more than the 20 bucks it cost for the filter :-)
Incredibly helpful! Thank you.
Yay! So happy to hear that you found it helpful…you are welcome!
Thanks for this! But, as a guy, I'll go play golf😁
🤣🏌🏼♂️Yep, permission granted! Thanks for your note 😉
FYI - Caution, the filter cover plate clips are fragile and break off when attempting to open to replace the filter.
Ohhh Nooo, I hope that didn't happen to you during your filter change! Thanks for the heads-up...I bet everyone will take this into consideration!
@@upstandingmobility oh yes it did…duct tape to the rescue 🤪
@@echo53226 Heck yeah, MacGyver!
Thank you they just told me I need one and I told them no thanks lol!!
You get an "atta girl"!
Yes. Queen. Thank you & ROCK ON!!!
Ha ha, Queen of Air Filters...I'll take that crown and wear it proudly!
Thank you! Now on to the engine filter.
Toooo funny! (Wait, you are kidding, right?!)
@@upstandingmobility Nope. I've got it on my schedule for Wednesday.
I’m a little offended you didn’t need a strong man to do it, totally kidding; planning to replace mine today, thanks for the tutorial, I need to penny pinch these days
OhhhI knew I’d get called out on that eventually but truthfully, I regretted saying it right after I did but don’t know how to edit videos!!! Rather than start over, I left it in. Thanks for your kidding me. I’m glad to help you penny pinch! These days are challenging. Be well!
Thank you!
You are very welcome! Glad you wrote a comment ;-)
The Kia dealership told me the cost of a cabin air filter alone would be $90. This is awesome.
Go Jane, Go Jane! Glad you were able to watch and DIY ;-)
@@upstandingmobility Me too! I bought the filter at AutoZone for $20, replayed your video and followed right along. Instant gratification and a very dirty filter was removed! Piece of cake.
Great video! It was loads of help.
I hope it was fast and easy so you could get back to BBQing! Thanks for your comment ;-)
My covers are so Hard to get out. I use a screwdriver. So what will happen if I don’t put the covers back on?
Good question! I have no idea really because I don't have the 2015 anymore to go check for you. Anyone out there have any suggestions on this question?
Thank you 🙏 for that tip
You bet!
Wished I would have found this video before paying NTB😢😢😢.. But now I know moving forward
Moving forward, yes!!! Thanks for your comment (I'm 65 so had to google NTB; thought it was shorthand text lol lol)!
