OK, so I'm about to approach the 15K mark on my Odometer. Time to replace the micro filter in my car but I like to change this my self instead of paying rediculous amount of money for Nissan Dealer to do so. Does anybody have clear instructions with pictures to help me do this? Any help is appreciated~

I have taken my 2k2s microfilter out twice and it isn't particularly hard. The picture shown in the site above would have made it easier the first time though. When I discovered a new filter was $50, I decided to wash the element. Rather than paper, mine was a nylon affair with no paper rim. After washing and drying, it seemed to allow more air flow. There was a thread a few weeks ago and it seems everybody else's OEM filter was pleated paper, don't know why the difference.

 

The first time you buy a Maxima, they give you the cheapy pleated paper filter... when you buy the microfilter replacement, you get the nice nylon pair...

 

Like its gonna help.

 

Thanks for the instructions guys!!

Padsy, why wouldn't it help?

 

it wont filter out your farts.

 

I don't plan on farting in my car any time soon I hold it, pull over, get out and fart.

 

filters out weed smoke quite nicely
