Very helpful thank you very much. My local shop wanted $85.00 labor fee for this simple filter change.

Nissan wanted me to pay $60 to replace mine. Thank you for this video

Literally the poorest design for something so simple. Nice job Nissan. Took me like 30 seconds in every Honda or Toyota I’ve ever owned to do this, not so much for the Nissan

[yungskeeme]

This helped a lot! Only issue I’m having is putting the cover back on

[annagarcia]

Wow been looking for the cabin filter for awhile now. This is so much easier than thought of thank yoi

[mohammada.marwan]

It took me like an hour to remove it
What the hell NISSAN 🤬!!!
Any way thank you so much on this video 😇

The real fun begins when the old filter was installed incorrectly and won't come out. Take the glove box out and make yourself a "fish hook" barb with a coat hanger. Slide it in next to the filter with the barb vertical, then rotate 90 to catch the filter. Pull the filter, move it up and down until the bottom edge pops out. You'll lose a little skin and you'll swear at Nissan, but it can be done.

Thanks there. I just figured out that my Mechanic did not replace the clip on the Unit. He left it sitting in the seat.

Use a flathead screwdriver to wedge it out the tab..

[calbertjasper]

You just saved me 99$ plus maintenance fee

[CarlosLopez-wqnm]

That helps a lot they try to changed me $150 at the dealership

[andrewarnold]

I KNEW I'd be dumb to pay 80 bucks for this lol. Thanks.

[bradleyr.]

I pushed the tab up with some force and it won't budge. I'm too afraid I'll break it as I usually break everything. It has to be the same exact set up, even for a 2016 Altima SV?

[nakajacobz]

Wow..Thank you soooo much!! You just saved me so much bread..They usually charge me 90 bucks for this!!!

[PlantBaePapi]

Wait. It’s that simple? 😮 the shop I went to wanted $75

[ryanhart]

What tricks do you have to put the air filter door back on? I’ve been angling it and pushing it for 30 minutes with no luck. It won’t lock into place. The latch is in good condition, the opposite ends angled catch is in good condition, the filter isn’t blocking it. Thoughts? My fingers and knuckles are dying.

Thank you! Pretty straight forward. I will be changing mine soon.

[liveandletlive]

Same place as a tesla model 3/Y just more accessible

[alejandra]

i am having trouble taking the tab off. it is so difficult any suggestions

[sergio]

Normally a simple thing to do. Dont see why it had to be so frustrating. Maybe to encourage people to go to spend more money for a professional to do it.
