decided to clean incabin microfilter.....took out glove box and bam!! No f*cking filter! what's up with nissan cutting corners like that....there was lots of dust in the area where the filter should be, so i just vacuumed as much as possible.....one more reason for me to go towards the manual g35 sedan( if anything for better dealer services and of course a better vehicle)....just sick of nissan dealership services and all......

 

Mine didnt have one either. Are you sure your car is supposed to have it. It was an option not all maximas came with. I just bought the filter and put it in.

My car didn't have one.

 

i busted mine open this past weekend...NO filter for me either!

you guys buy a nissan OEM one (for like $45) or did you find a cheaper generic or something?

 

In-cabin filters are expensive and Nissan charges like $70 to install them. I wanted to do it myself so bad but I didnt even know where it was let alone know to remove it. .I guess I need to read my manual more. . .

 

They only come in the 2K2-2K3 Maximas as standard equipment. It was an option in the 2K-2K1's

 

go figure! thanks for verifing that.

 

ok, i feel better now that i know it was an option.....salesman never mentioned it.....thanks for the info.

 

how often should they be changed again, i think my salesman said every 15k.

 

It all depends on the production date of the car.

 

I washed mine last night no problems. Remove the glovebox, don't disconnect yellow airbag connector, remove 2 fastners from top of glove box to separate yellow connector. Filter has white cover, remove clip at bottom slide cover up then out, remove filter, wash, dry, reinstall, reassemble.

 

your manual tells you how often you need to replace it in the maintanance schedule section. my 2k says at 45k miles.

 

Mossy changes the filter for you when / if you go in for the 15k checkup , 30k checkup, etc.
