- Learn how to replace the engine air filter in your car. The truck used in the video is a 2001 Mazda B3000 aka Ford Ranger. This process will be similar on most cars and trucks. In this case no tools were needed. Sometimes you might need a screw driver. An air filter should be replaced every 30-50k miles based on how you use your car.

Having literally zero experience with cars, I really appreciate that you have simpler videos like this explaining how to do or use things other people might consider really easy! It really gives me a place to start so I can learn more about cars and eventually fix mine on my own.
I am glad the videos are helpful!
@@chrisfix it helps me to
@@chrisfix love your omg 😱😳 bless you
How are you doing 5 years later?
@@chrisfix These are great. I always new that paying for a body to replace your filter was way over priced.
I’ve done this a hundred times as a mechanic but i can’t just seem to stop watching chrisfix
Haha thanks for the support!
@@chrisfix Hey Chris, would you do a vid on troubleshooting a tachometer + speedo that don't work correctly?
Damn bro you used to have much lower energy back then
Alex Fishman subscribers /money from monetization / more confident will make you feel better and more energized
MWN Nazi money from monetization is almost non existent nowadays
Ijnat what? Man this guy probably making 20 to 30 grand a month just from UA-cam at least maybe even more, not to mention sponsers....you living in a different world
MWN Nazi How'd you get these numbers? People keep giving me these crazy numbers and I don't really know how they get it.
Ijnat crazy? Well yeah they are fucking crazy but that's the real shit, most of the youtubers with 1m subs and lots of views are making 30 grand there's a guy that is making 500k dlls a month
And they wanna charge me $100 to do this ? 😫 how do I like this video a million times
I know right!!!!
😂😂
Watching these videos has opened my eyes to how much we get ripped off at auto shops! I can't believe how simple these fixes are. All the years, time, and money wasted. No more!
Video so old theres no "Hey Guys, Chris Fix here".
HEYY GUYYSSS
He’s slowly evolving his intro.
pre youtube bux and after
And no gloves! 😱
Chris, you are the man man... I'm cruising in my sports car and because of you, I can continue keeping up with it
Thanks is great to hear! I am glad you are learning a lot!
I super appreciate the video! Today they quoted me $377 to change my air filter. I’ve never paid so much. Glad to see it’s easy and I can do it myself. Thanks again! 😊
Dam what car drive that they gaved you that price? 🤣
Just how in the hell you get the tips for 377 with lmao
WHAT
That’s insane
This is robbery
This guy really didn't want to make that video but I'm very glad he made it anyways. I have probably watched all your videos (it started with the crown vic) and now I have my own car and I'm ready for the first performance mod thanks to you
Not true man... Some people are just learning. You have to start somewhere!
ChrisFix how do you clean the case that surrounds the Air filter without damaging anything ? For lack of a better word , how do you clean the external housing unit of the air filter 🤔?
Neli Crawford You don't :D
but if you really want to then use a wet towel or something.
ChrisFix
@@NeurodivergentMomOf1 He made a video on how to detail your inner interior.
This is the first "hey guys" intro. I'd like to see someone do a compilation of how he gradually goes from no energy to the Chris fix we know now!
This video is catered for beginners. This simple maintenance is very easy to do. Imagine how much a shop will charge you to do that. They will use the cheapest filter they have usually. Same goes for oil changes. I do all that myself. Have a happy holidays Chris to you and your family! I hope you take a good rest today.
This is much easier to do than i taught it would.Thank you for the helpful video.
Thank you I touched my car under the hood for the first time ever I put a quart of oil in and changed the air filter and cleaned the mass airflow sensor of my 1998 Ford Explorer sport it was very easy but you gave me the confidence to actually start next up is a super flush of the coolant following your video on it of course
You should do a video comparing regular air filters to k&n or “performance” filters to see if they work or not, nice channel!
I was always curious about those "filters." I guess I'll stick with the Dooxi "air filter." :-)
@@kathleenspears3952 I’ve heard there actually worst for your engine.
@@kathleenspears3952 unless if your using a performance car just stick with oem
Would love to see "How to change your cabin air filter"
Check out ChrisFix instagram he actually made a short video on it about a week ago
@@Russian_polite_man even a cars owners manual is easy to follow on how to change that out
Just look behind your glove box, it should be there, really easy to replace. You’ll have to just detach your glove box, there’s a couple clips.
No prob! Yea, it's an easy thing to do to maintain your vehicle!
And I almost paid 120 just to do this thankfully I came across this
feodufg3r4weozjmkdwopsqkf3 And it takes literally 3 minutes

hey guys.... Chris fix here :(
Can you do a video on how to patch small cuts/rips on leather seats? Been binge watching your Awesome videos man very helpful!
Thank you so much. Just subscribed to you. I loved the way you describe and explain things. All the best
Always a good idea to upgrade even if it's a minor one. Maybe make a video of using a throttle body/air intake cleaner..?
I actually got a job in a garage with no experience, just from watching chrisfix, and listening to car talk.
Did you notice any improvements with acceleration, hp and mpg?
Thanks for the video! I’m a 22 y/o female who is going to be attempting to buy and change her own air filter rather than paying $40 for the auto shop to do it
Davina Marie Good luck :) I did the same to my vehicle which was very easy.
It is very simple and easy everyone can do it 😄
Thank you so much! Dude at a local shop tried charging me $40 for installation
Yea, just have to be careful when cleaning them but if you do it right, you should have no problems!
Can you remake this and give visual examples of what should be changed and what is ok? My trans am has an air filter about a year old and the edges of the filter are dark grey-ish but not really sure if that warrants changing or if it can be left alone for another few months. I like how you did the engine coolant vid with that dirty and clean fluids look like, was hoping you could do that for these air intake filters too.
Cool idea!
+ChrisFix we love you kindly regards from The Netherlands!🛠
Short, simple, and easy to follow. Thanks for the video.
Great video as always. Lately, I have been binging your work. Not gonna lie though, I was honestly expecting you to say you were gonna hit it with the soap and water, when cleaning out the area haha
It depends what you do and what car you have. For a daily driver, nothing special car under normal conditions I say why not. If you have an expensive car or a special car or something like that, I get wary but who knows. I am trying this out on my truck and I go offroad. It is similar to a KNN... Who knows lol...
They really tried charging me $90 to change at toyota dealership
Same crazy
If it was a linginfelter car from the beginning it will be more valuable. If it is a custom engine put in after (not matching numbers) it is only as valuable as someone is willing to pay for it. Dont worry about value, just enjoy it!
Chris can you maybe make a video on how to progress from little/ easy things to do such as changing a wheel and changing air filters to progress to harder things to do mechanically... Such as steps to take to become better with cars etc, top tips & just how to start confidence building with car maintenance :)
Shelbb Lee just watch his videos
Maybe he should do a playlist "from easiest to hardest" with his already made videos !
"A JOURNEY of a thousand miles starts with the first step".
Some Chinaman
That looks really easy! Thanks!
Thank you! I had no idea where to begin. You are very clear and direct. Some people who already know this stuff just breeze through, skipping details that a newbie needs. Thank you!
I'm glad you learned everything you needed to know!
Easy to understand tutorial. Thanks!
Great videos Chris. Would like to learn if high performance filters increase performance.
This is the dirtiest I have seen a Chris Fix engine. It looks like it belongs to one of us lol
Anyone watching this in 2020
Pls do a video about engine oil and about does more compression and more cylinders change sound
Thanks for the video ideas!
@@chrisfix brother thanks
@chrisfix Thank you for taking time to give step by step instructions 🤗💗🤗
Yea man! They made a 250mph Vette before a 250mph car ever existed! Sick!
ChrisFix 😍😍
So there you go tmorin2010, a real life user says it works nice!
My dealership just charged me $100 labor to do this. They didn’t even fix anything my check engine light is still on 💀 gonna give them hell on the phone later
What did they say when you called them?
Hi chris i love your videos ... they really help me.since i dnt know much about cars. I wonder where u like to buy your car parts if u have some websites where u can buy and get decent prices... and one more thing i live i california i u can make a video and how to prepare of get your car ready for smog inspection things that could help the average person like me... yo get my c ar ready.. thanks and godbless keep up the gd work...✌
I didn't know you were a latino bro. Thanks for your videos.
Good looks bro
Thanks. Pretty simple and laid out :)
I can now see why he does his intro...😒
why
Awesome! Glad it helped!
hi Chris! i recently bought a K&N filter for my PAJERO SPORT, after watching videos and reading comments about the oil ruining the MAF sensor, im having thoughts of re-installing back the paper filter,.. hope you can enlighten me sir on this matter if its really worth it!
Actually, Fram makes a very good air filter. Their bottom-of-the-barrel Extra Guard Oil Filter is junk.
Audioquest56 Very true
Electone_Guyi agree, air filters they're fine for. just not oil filters.
ashika make great filters for korean models.
juan def Fram's Ultra Synthetic oil filter might be the best oil filter on the market. There other oil filters are meh.
Old videos are just as good and helpful as new ones. Maybe except for a so wobble camera :)
Chris, can you do a video on broken or non working power windows?
Thank you!
In cleaning out dust, you could use a used dryer sheet. Very effective.
This is ChrisFix before the blue gloves
Old school ChrisFix!
@@chrisfix Love you bro, keep up the great vids :D
Thanks Chris! Your videos have been a great help to me and working on my first car, thanks again God bless!
I'm glad the videos have been helpful! Thanks a lot!
And a video on how to turn a Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 in to a 8 seater midsize suv and make it rigid
I have very little knowledge on cars and I just want to know if this is the Engine Air Filter ? I just want to confirm. I’m thinking about doing it by myself on my car
can a bad air filter cause your car to stall?
No, it will cause it to explode. I'm kidding.
Yes. A lack of air will massively under power the engine.
Thanks!
Damn it's hard to talk to non car guys in a way that they understand! Good job man.
This is awesome. Thanks!
Thanks!
One thing I learned the hard way was to keep the engine air filter clean or it can affect your Mass Air Flow sensor. I use software called Automotive Wolf to monitor all the maintenance on my vehicles and I used to have it set to replace the filter once per year, now I have changed that requirement to every 10000 miles.
thanks man. cali has these wildfires got ash all in my filter
Wen u replace your air filter what does it mean if there is oil
It looks like this might be the first video with the Hey Guys intro. Lol
I appreciates this video thanks!
What are the symptoms of knowing when its time to change your air filter?
I recommend getting a super tech air filter
Damn chrisfix liking comments on videos 6 years old!
The Philips head screws holding the air box cover in place are rusted. I can’t remove them even after WD 40. Any tip as to how to get them loose?
Chris, are you still using this Spectre filter? How is it holding up?
You are a pro
Thank you so much for details steps
Thanks dude
dude your videos inspired me to fix my own car, but i have some questions, can you make a video where you explain what everything under the hood is? and my check engine came on with no flash or noise, but when i took it to auto zone the machine popped up with an error. what does that mean?
thanks
The filter you changed looks pretty good compared to when I changed mine.. I Just changed my air filter along with my oil the other day.. it was basically pitch black
thanks I'll be trying this soon.
Do you have a performance air intake system like k&n or do you think it's unnecessary?
The first video of him saying, "hey guys" but no Chris fix here :(
I have a Buick Verono and under my air filter and the container is just a hole to to bottom of the car is that right?
Skater is this still like this???
it's crazy how enthusiastic you are now compared to this video!
Thanks
Hey Chris, I opened my air filter yesterday and this morning my cel turned on. It's a 99 civic. I dont know what to do
Scan the computer and see what the code is.
Hey, Chris, I'm just curious. How often the air filter is need to be changed?
every 2 years or 30,000 miles I think.
In the owner's manual.
And 10,000 miles for the filter inside the car. or every 12 months.
Thats when NOT driving in severe conditions if I recall
I'm commenting cause he told me so
Hey Chrisfix, I read that those oil impregnated filters can leave a residue on the mass air sensor causing it to produce false values. See this link. www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html would love to hear why Fram sucks, been using Fram for years on many vehicles without much thought or problems with them. Do tell and keep these videos coming, I love your channel and the way you cut through the BS with real data.
Eric Mayo Thanks for sharing! I dont trust fram oil filters after I saw an experiment where someone took apart oil filters and fram had a gap in the filter element where oil would bypass.
Hey chris... ive been watching your channel for a while. And i have been thinking about buying a k&n air filter or a other branded performance filter which brand would u recomend. And could you do a video on cleaning and oiling a filter at the same time can u over oil these filter. If so demonstrate what a over oiled filter is. I wanna get a perfomance filter but dont wanna damage my engine from oil or cleaner in the long run and cost me thousands.
Thanks for the video idea!
We're you ok?
Hey Chris can u help me out pls. Bro why 626 ge mtx use 2,2 kiloms ect and ATX use ect with 35.46 kiloms? Is that a typo error in the workshop manual or what? I'm confused bro. I test mi e and gave me 1.87 kiloms mine is ATX pls help is that sensor responsible to start coolant fan when ac is on or only the ac sensor is responsible to start both .? Thanks bro take care
Would you recommend K&N air filter on a 2019.Rav4?
My brother wouldnt dare do this on his own. He'd pay a mechanic. Won't let me go near his car. Two women I know pay $87.00 for oil changes
how do you know when to change the air filter?
Do you have a video on how to change the cabin air filter ? Or does any body know where it located in a 2000 Ranger ? Thanks
It doesnt have one.
Only legend come here from 2023
Why is it so easy to take the screws off but such a hassle to put them back on -.- maybe it’s just me..I managed to screw 3 of the screws in but one doesn’t want to cooperate -.-
Chris fix is the the dad I always wanted
do you like the k n filters
