Air filter was black as hell

The filter that came with mine is suppose to last the lifetime of the car.  Don't know if I believe that.

Depending on the type of area you are in you may need to replace more often

Mine is ever 10-20k miles but because I do have dirt roads it might be 5-15k miles instead

Now the cabin filter I'm leaving to my mechanic

What the hell? Didn't they change it last year?

Just changed my air filter on my car and its horrible

That's why i get reusable filters from K&N (overpriced) or AirAid and just use the K&N "Recharge kit" on them. Plus, performance and economy gains.

 

Also the cabin filter is usually easier... under the hood or behind the glovebox.

I need to reseal my cabin filter.  I notice the driver side floor gets wet when it rains and the filter just happens to be under the windshield.  Not hard to get too, though.  Just a couple of screws.

Mine is under the hood and in the dashboard not a good place to get at it

My gf's car requires you to remove the glove box completely, which is just four screws.

With my luck I'll break something 

But on another note someone offered me 20k for my car and I'm not buying it

Now that's where my blower motor is.   I had to replace my blower resistor and since it was inside the car, I got to do it while it was raining.
4 screws for the glove box and 2 screws for the resistor.  Wish everything could be that easy.

I had to pull the blower motor out of hers because the old filter got sucked into it. Good job, Nissan.
