• Purifies the air that enters your engine
• Becomes clogged with impurities with regular use
• When not replaced regularly, can cause damage to your engine

Your Nissan's Air Cleaner Element, a vehicle component often made with materials like paper, foam, cotton, and synthetic materials, helps to maintain the life of your vehicle. As inbound air enters the engine, the air first passes through your Air Cleaner Element. This filter then traps contaminants such as gravel, bugs, and other small items that could wreak havoc on your engine and ultimately your Nissan.

Over time, your Air Cleaner Element keeps trapping debris and eventually becomes clogged. Once this happens, your engine may receive restricted airflow. And if the Air Cleaner Element isn't serviced regularly, you may experience difficulty accelerating, sluggish engine power, lower gas mileage, and possible engine failure.

Because of the risk of damage to your vehicle's engine, it's essential to get the Air Cleaner Element replaced based on the recommended maintenance schedule in your car owner's manual. Note: your cleaner element will need to be replaced or cleaned more frequently if you reside in a location with regular dust or regularly drive on rough roads.

But can you to do this replacement yourself? If you'd like to tackle the job yourself, it can be fairly simple, but you will need to get under the hood of your Nissan. If you're unfamiliar with changing filters, we recommend having it replaced at your closest authorized Nissan service location.
