location of 'Cabin Micro Air Filter'

Mar 23, 2007 6 Replies

on a nissan frontier 2006, is it located behind the glovebox? ie. empty and unscrew the box and replace filter?



is this an OEM part (napa, autozone, etc..) or only available from dealers?



thanks



Not trying to be more anal retentive than usual, but OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which usually means dealer. Aftermarket means napa, autozone, etc.

That being said, some of the aftermarket car parts places do carry cabin filters, but when they do, they generally charge as much as the dealer.

thank you for that. Can you assist with the original question on location of the filter?

All the Nissans I have seen have them behind the glove box. If you get the OEM filters from the dealer, they include an instruction sheet on what you have to remove to get to them.

Actually cheaper from a dealer (installation instructions on the web page):

The filter is behind the glove box. I ordered my replacement filters from Courtesy Nissan over the web. The instructions that came with the filter mentioned a screw, but my truck did not have a screw, just a plastic snap. The hardest part was lowering the glove box to gain access.

. The web page includes instrcution. They were fine for me, except I did not need the 8mm wrench. Ed
