The Cabin Air Filter is the last line of defense between outside contamination and your Nissan’s cabin. Thanks to its anti-bacterial and odor-blocking features, original Nissan-made Cabin Air Filters hamper widespread pollutants like mold spores, ragweed particles, construction dust, and grass pollen from breezing in through your Nissan’s HVAC vents. Additionally, genuine Nissan Cabin Air Filters help prevent bugs and leaves from getting into your vehicle’s HVAC, impeding them from affecting your heater and air conditioner’s performance.

With time and mileage, your Nissan’s Cabin Air Filter may become oversaturated, especially if you drive in areas poor air quality or high concentrations of allergens. Many Nissan cars, trucks, and SUVs can reap benefits from Cabin Air Filter replacements every 15,000-30,000 miles. However, the smartest way to tell when you should get a new Cabin Air Filter for your Cabin Air Filter is by referring to the owner's manual or looking out for common signs that your current HVAC Cabin Air Filter is clogged or worn. You may feel that your Nissan’s Cabin Air Filter is not working optimally if you detect “moldy” smells coming from you car’s A/C vents when the A/C or heater is on. Also, if your Nissan’s fan is on “high,” and the airflow is slow or imperceptible, an excessively contaminated Cabin Air Filter may also be to blame. Finally, though whistling sounds and a loud HVAC system are not that common with Cabin Air Filter issues, they are not unheard of! If you or your passengers hear or smell any of these annoyances and your car or truck is working properly, consider getting a replacement Nissan Cabin Air Filter to clear the air.

Replacing a Cabin Air Filter is a service that many DIY-mechanics choose to perform at home or with their local Nissan experts. If you resolve to perform a Cabin Air Filter replacement at home, refer to the owner’s manual for help locating the filter (though these Cabin Air Filters are often found behind the glovebox). In most cases, a screwdriver, rag, and vacuum will be essential tools for replacing your Cabin Air Filter. Yet you should follow the directions in your Nissan’s manual to know you’re going about replacing your Cabin Air Filter the right way.
