Nissan Engine Air Filter Replacement

Nissan Engine Air Filter Replacement

The role of the engine air filter is to keep the engine clean from contaminants such as debris, dirt, dust, pollen, and more. The engine produces power by completing a series of internal combustion reactions. These reactions require air. Providing clean air to the engine can maximize its efficiency and allow the engine parts to last longer. If you continue to drive with an engine air filter that has been clogged or broken, you risk severe damage to the engine. Keep in mind that the engine air filter is different from the cabin air filter, designed to clean the air flowing through the HVAC system.

How Often Does the Air Filter Need Replacement?

The engine air filter replacement frequency will depend on several factors, including the engine air filter’s quality. Certain cheap aftermarket engine air filters will require frequent replacement. Also, if you drive on dusty roads or live in a region with high air pollution, the engine air filter might require a more frequent replacement service. Our experienced and certified technicians at Suntrup Nissan can inspect the filter’s condition and guide you if your Nissan requires a replacement service.
