Air Filters

Most Nissan vehicles have two air filters. One is the engine air filter, with the second being the cabin air filter. They operate much like your oil filter and fuel filter in that they prevent contaminants from getting into essential systems and parts.

The engine air filter is part of your vehicle's air intake system. It captures water, debris, and pollutants from getting into the engine and causing trouble. Replacing your engine air filter is simple. Disconnect the air intake hose, pull the old filter out, and install your new air filter.

Your cabin air filter is typically located in one of three places: behind your glove compartment, under the front cowling on the passenger side, or under the dash. It protects you from allergens, dust, pollen, and other irritants even when you're not running your air conditioning or heat. Replacing the cabin air filter may involve a bit more work than with your engine air filter, but it's essential if you want to keep the air you breathe fresh and clean.

Learn the Symptoms of Bad Air Filters

If your filters get too blocked up, they're not going to let air pass through. That's not good. Check the condition of yours by removing them; if you can't see light through the filter, then they need to be replaced. Other signs of failure include:

• The "Check Engine" light comes on
• Engine misfires
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Unsteady cabin air temperature
• Musty smelling cabin
• Worsening exhaust emissions
• A whistling noise from your air vents
