The Cabin Air Filter is the last line of defense between exterior pollution and your Nissan’s passenger compartment. Thanks to its microbe-resistant and odor-blocking features, authentic Nissan HVAC Cabin Air Filters keep common pollutants like fine dust, organic fibers, road dust, and road debris from breezing in through your Nissan’s heating and air conditioning system. In addition, top-quality Nissan Cabin Air Filters help inhibit small bugs and crumbled leaves from entering your car’s HVAC system, impeding them from affecting your heater and air conditioner’s performance.

With time and mileage, your car’s HVAC Cabin Air Filter may become clogged, especially if you often find yourself driving in areas with high levels of air pollution or high levels of dust. Many Nissan cars, trucks, and SUVs can reap benefits from Cabin Air Filter replacements every 15,000-30,000 miles. However, one of the top ways to determine when it’s time to replace your Nissan’s Cabin Air Filter is by checking the owner’s manual or looking out for common signs that your current HVAC Cabin Air Filter is not working properly. You may suspect your Cabin Air Filter is not working optimally if you notice musty odors emanating from your car’s HVAC vents when the A/C or heater is on. Also, if your Nissan’s fan is on its highest setting and the airflow is weak or non-existent, an excessively contaminated Cabin Air Filter may also be to blame. Lastly, though whistling sounds and a loud HVAC system are unusual with Cabin Air Filter issues, they do occur in some cases! If those in the passenger compartment hear or smell any of these annoyances and your car or truck is otherwise functioning normally, consider replacing the Cabin Air Filter with a Nissan replacement part to clear the air.

Switching to a new Cabin Air Filter is a form of maintenance that many DIY-mechanics choose to perform at home or with their nearest Nissan technicians. If you decide to perform a Cabin Air Filter replacement at home, refer to the owner’s manual for the part’s precise location (typically, your Cabin Air Filter is behind the glovebox). In the majority of cases, you’ll need a screwdriver, a rag, and a small vacuum to get the job done. But it’s always best to stick to the instructions in your owner’s manual to know you’re going about replacing your Cabin Air Filter the right way.
