Brad K, thanks for the video. I changed my cabin air filter in less than 5 minutes and it was pretty painless for I knew what to expect from your video. It was hard wiggling myself into the car under the dash (I'm 6ft and 58 yo), but I didn't stay there too long so it was tolerable. I found getting the old filter out pretty easy just by grabbing it with my fingers. For installation of the new filter, I bent the leading edge with my fingers per your suggestion. It took a couple of tries to get it into place but it eventually went in without too much of a fight (I used the Fram brand air filter). I had the most trouble getting the cover snapped back into place. I couldn't seem to get the top hook of the cover to grab the top of the opening. You just can't see up there so it's a blind operation. After a few tries, I found that installing the cover from a steep angle works. In other words, push the top of the cover into place while keeping the bottom of the cover 2"-3" away from its final position. Installing from this angle makes the barb on the top of the cover engage the opening properly. I then swung the bottom of the cover into position while holding some upward pressure. The cover will "hinge" on the top barb. The cover just snapped into place cleanly by doing this. Hope this helps.
I'm a tech at Nissan I definitely agree the hardest part is getting the cover back on but you explained it perfectly I'm able to do it alot faster now than I used to
Thank you so much. I was under the cabin for 20 minutes trying to put the cover on, gave up, and came here to find this comment. I was so disappointed that this video didn't show to the very last part where most people had the most difficulty - putting the cover back on. I went back to my car after reading your comment and was in and out under that cabin in less than 20 seconds. You are the man Scott. Thank you.
The toughest part for me was replacing the cover. It took me a few tries. Funny enough, I just oriented the new filter in the same way it is installed, and pushed it in, as you described, but it went right in. As mentioned on here by someone else, the key to putting the cover back on is to hold it at more of a perpendicular angle, engaging the barb, and then swinging into place. Great video, sir.
I folded the top edge of the filter lengthwise and pinched the filter in half and wiggled it into place pretty easily. Scott Anderson's tip about "pushing the top of the cover into place while keeping the bottom of the cover 2"-3" away from its final position" was the key to getting the cover back on. Thanks Scott!
My previous Murano was easier. The filter on my 2009 was pulled down to remove, and pushed back up . On my 2016 this is trickier as shown in the video since the filter comes out sideways. Luckily one only needs to replace every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Paying the service garage to do this though is a waste of money. (No wonder the manual gives no instructions on how to change it, but refers you to your dealer) :( 10 minutes, tops.
I have a 2022 Nissan Murano and at 6'2 and 75 yrs old i thought maybe I can do this like the video. However, given the tight squeeze in the space allotted the more I tried to get at the filter the more I ended up pushing the filter further into its slot! Push came to shove I had to remove the glove compartment to get at the slot. Even though I did that it was still difficult to manuever in there but It did help. After a lot of effort finally got the sucker out and replaced the glove compartment. The glove compartment only had 6 torque head screws and the light cable. Given that it was terribly hot and humid when I did this I think I lost about 5 lbs in the process Lol. The filter was dirty after having the car for a year and a half. I replaced it at close to the 15000 mile mark. But yeah as you said a "pain in the butt". thanks for the video in any event. It was helpful. Thank you
Worked like a charm Brad, thanks. I used a small right angled pick to get the bottom of the filter started and then when I could get my fingers on it and it came out as you show in your video. On putting the plastic cover plate back on I actually had to push the bottom of it up to the right and almost perpendicular to get that little hook to catch at the top with a bit of pressure, the steep angle approach didn't want to work for me. I got a flash light and an extension mirror so could see what I was dealing with at the top. I thought I was working on a Ford for a moment, lol.
Thank you for simple yet straight forward procedures. I did mine the first time three years ago and took more than 3 hrs removing and replacing the glove compartment. The cover stayed out because I couldnt put it back till after viewing your video. 20 mins and cover snap right back! Thanks,
Just wanted to add that removing the glove box (8 screws) made replacing the cabin air filter substantially easier. If you are a smaller guy, maybe you won't have trouble wiggling into place, but as an overweight guy I already have difficulty getting both arms in there. With the Glove Box removed I can easily get both hands in there and reach the top of the filter opening. Also made it very easy to get the replacement up an in place. I can see the argument that it took longer as I had to deal with screws and moving the box out of the way, but I honestly don't know if that was the case with how quickly I was able to get the filter out and back in with the box removed. /shrug. My 2 cents anyway.
I totally agree. I had watched another video that said you had to take the glove box out. I did that and then found it was for another vehicle. Then I found this video and it was not easy even with the glove box out.
Awesome job, Brad ! Old one came out easily and @41K miles it was absolutely filthy. (Maybe I missed a 20K replacement recommendation?) Getting your body positioned to insert the new one was a bear. I did it mostly by feel, using the eraser end of a pencil to get the top part in about 1/4 of the way, then squeezed the bottom in and alternately kept on feeding top and bottom until it was seated. It should be mentioned that (unless I screwed this up) once you've got the whole thing in, although it relaxes and expands, it doesn't magically pop open/expand to fit the space. It kind of sits in there slightly squeezed and stuffed.
Thank you! The dealer wanted to charge me $94 plus whatever taxes and "shop charges" to change both my engine and cabin filter in my 2018. It cost me $21 for both filters. The hardest part was trying to get the clip back on, especially as a south paw. . (Definitely go in at at least a 45* angle)
Helped, wasnt hard at all, received a few cuts and scrapes on my hands so you might wanna put at least some thin gloves. Squeezed the middle of the filter like some suggested on the comments and it went in no problem
Thank you for the video it really helped me through this process. It's not a bad job you have to take your time removing and installing the new one. Done in about 10 minutes. Lol I tried to reinstall the end cap and had it going backwards until i realized what I was doing. Turned it around and angle so hook would catch up at the top that you can't see and it went in with no issues. Thanks again!
Like some have said, squeeze the new filter in the middle, feed it in towards the bottom at an angle and continue to push it in as it fans out. Insert the cover into the slot as you push up, when you feel it hit the top, angle bottom of the cover towards the right some till the tab at the top falls in its hole. Then you should be able to place the bottom in place and the spring tab will latch. The cover has to be angled out more than I thought for the top tab to fall into its hole.
Came out easy and pinch new filter in middle till it folded like fan and put it in how u said.went right in had a harder time putting in clip.but it worked thank you.
Just coming back to say thanks for posting this! I would have given up and paid the stealership $90 to do it, had I not seen your video. I still left the back of two fingers in that slot that you have to dig the filter out of, but I got it done! The engineers that designed that POS should have to change them out for free! Oh yeah, hand sanitizer is the devil!
Nissan Murano 2019. What a pain. Thanks for the video. Never would find the filter. Removed the glow compartment box, disconnected the small bulb by turning it counter-clockwise. Spent an hour, but there is no way I could remove the filter. Went to Valvoline. The guy could not find where the filter was. I showed it to him. He was nice enough and removed it in 25 min somehow. Did not charge me. Went home and was able to insert a new one with not much problems. Pushed the top first and then pushed up the bottom and inserted the whole thing. The cover was a little difficult. What I did for the future is connected a thin rope to the bottom of the new filter that next time I can pull it up and out to get the filter bottom corner. Hope it works.
The engineers that designed this setup need to be roundly slapped about the head for making this needlessly difficult. What a giant pain for us tall folks, basically need to be a circus contortionist to do this. Thank you for the video though, it definitely helped make this easier.
Best video yet! I went through about a dozen, all of them were awful. I put my knee pads on and twisted my body, so appreciate the heads up! Thank you sir! Appreciate your time!
All - just received an email from Nissan for a FREE replacement of the cabin filter - installation included. FYI - may want to call your dealer and let them do the gymnastics!
Omg thank you and merry Xmas for this video... was getting ripped off seriously at the garage for having them do this....I could not find it under my dash at all until this video... great job!! Thanks agI
Well we have another Murano 2016. All the same hated issues as our old 2010. I know, stop buying them 😅. But my wife loves them. Any how changed out the filter today. This time the filter is very stiff/rigid. So the collapsing the filter method didn't work. But because it is rigid I was able to actually push it in, there was very little bending of the filter. It went in no problem. So maybe this will work again next year
Had to change mine yeah it was a pain to put in the new filter, but i figuered it out without bending anything to mess it up, all you do is scrunch it in from the top and bottom and feed it through gently, once it's in it's easy to stretch it back to fit.
Nissan should be choked for this 😂😂. Just changed mine and man that was an ordeal. I did end up taking the glove box out. Honestly that was the easiest part of the process. Thanks for the video. Couldn't have done it without it.
Correction re: 0:08 : the Murano / Z52 2015+ is third-generation, not 2nd. 1st Gen / Z50: 2003 - 2007, 2nd Gen / Z51: 2009 - 2014. It's a pain getting that new cabin filter in. 🙄
It really depends on your environment...I live & drive in typical environments, so I do it every two years...three max. If you drive in dusty or more polluted cities you wont want to exceed two years.
Every 15,000 to 30,000 depending on your environment. Remember it is for YOUR comfort, so if you have allergies etc you might wish to change it at the earlier time. It keeps out allergens in the air.
Okay, video, but the issue I had was putting the filter back in and being able to get the cover back on. For whatever reason, part of the filter didn’t want to sit flush. On a side note, what a terrible design by Nissan. Completely unnecessary to make it this difficult.
Putting that black clip in is a night mare. I tried the deep angle approach but it won't catch I do see some of my plastic does there is broken and I think someone else got frustrated and broke it so I may not be able to to get mine in due to something I can't see being broken
Also FYI I changed this filter at 20,000 and at 50,000 and for our South Eastern USA driving it was only slightly dirty. I will replace again at 90-100k miles.
This is absolutely too difficult. Nissan makes things unnecessarily complicated, as a matter of fact just about all auto manufacturers are making simple maintenance difficult.
@@aloisius4188 Removing the glove box makes replacing it substantially easier as you can get both hands on the filter and reach the top part of the opening.
None of you guys with these Murano videos show the technique to install the new filter in that undersized opening. Anyone can rip out the old one, in pieces if need be. The difficulty is installing the new one without destroying it. Quit jumping past the part people need to see ! I will add that the OEM Nissan filter is more compliant than a Bosch and will more easily contort for install. They couldnt have made this more difficult !
It’s easy to get the filter back in place if you pinch it in the middle making it fan out. Then it will go back into the small space easier with less of a problem. Slide one side in, then the other will go in no problem.
I changed mine at 35000 honestly it wasn't that dirty it's probably a bad design all around I also did my 2017 Honda Accord which took me 2 minutes at 40,000 miles which was very dirty
If you are up for trying again (in another 20,000 miles give or take) take the glove box off first. Makes the filter much easier to put back in (and take out for that matter), and saves you that $75+ dealership charge.
This Nissan car has worse design of the cabin filter housing and oil filter housing position. Those designers are real genius. They made Nothing easier than Honda or Toyota for DIY job.
After watching a few of these and the difficulty, with an arthritic back and other issues I replaced mine with my credit card, paid the dealer to do it at the last oil change. Watched the tech do it through the viewing window. Even with the car at waist height on the lift, he struggled for ten minutes and when he finally got it out, threw it down in disgust. I felt like it was money well spent. Worst design ever.
El filtro de aire del motor es bastante fácil de reemplazar. Solo hay dos clips en la parte frontal que levanta, y tira de la tapa del filtro de aire hacia arriba y hacia arriba. (2 pestañas a cada lado de la parte posterior mantienen la parte posterior hacia adentro y hacia abajo). Pude reemplazar el filtro de aire del motor sin quitar nada más. Tengo un Murano SL 2018.
Ever drive behind a truck kicking up a bunch of dust? If you didn’t have a cabin air filter all that dust would blow out your vents and dirty up the vents along the way over time.

Thanks 2017 Nissan-Datsun Murano.
Ha. You skipped the worst part. I got the filter out, but I quit trying to put it in. To the dealership with my tail between my lega
If you are up for trying again (in another 20,000 miles give or take) take the glove box off first. Makes the filter much easier to put back in (and take out for that matter), and saves you that $75+ dealership charge.
The engineer that designed this should be fired and two levels of management above him/her. What a godawful design.
Oh, but thank you for the video nonetheless.
The sole purpose was to see how you install the new one. You didn’t show that 🤦🏻♂️. Good job getting it though.
REMOVING IT IS EASY. SHOWS HOW THE NEW FILTER IS PLACED.
Looks like I’ll be paying a mechanic to do it for me…..

After watching a few of these and the difficulty, with an arthritic back and other issues I replaced mine with my credit card, paid the dealer to do it at the last oil change. Watched the tech do it through the viewing window. Even with the car at waist height on the lift, he struggled for ten minutes and when he finally got it out, threw it down in disgust. I felt like it was money well spent. Worst design ever.
keep wiggling the filter in gently for the cover , come in at an extreme angle to latch it
I changed it once a year or so ago, I just did it again but I haven't fitted the cover on yet. What a joke, fire the design engineer - craziness...
Im 8 ft and 400kg.i did this
jees the filter literally had to be destroyed to get it out
Great video and appreciate the guidance. However, what a stupid F design.
I agree!
PORQUE NO COLOCASTES EL OTRO?
SABES QUE ES IMPOSIBLE.
HAY QUE REMOVER LA GABETA PARA PODERLO INTALAR ADECUADAMENTE.
ES MUCHO MAS FACIL.
Entschuldigung, ich weiß nicht, was du sagst.
El filtro de aire del motor es bastante fácil de reemplazar. Solo hay dos clips en la parte frontal que levanta, y tira de la tapa del filtro de aire hacia arriba y hacia arriba. (2 pestañas a cada lado de la parte posterior mantienen la parte posterior hacia adentro y hacia abajo). Pude reemplazar el filtro de aire del motor sin quitar nada más. Tengo un Murano SL 2018.
my mechanic told me...take it out and leave it out... cabin filters are a scam cash grab
Literally the dumbest spot for a air filter
That was a dumb design, they should have done like Toyato. Make it easy access for everyone.
Being a pain in the ass, when trying to reinstall, Why not just leave the filter out ????
Ever drive behind a truck kicking up a bunch of dust? If you didn’t have a cabin air filter all that dust would blow out your vents and dirty up the vents along the way over time.
Hey man, I’m deaf! Couldn’t barely hear your whisper!
What a pain in the ass
Glad I don't buy Nissan's
Nissan cabin air filters are trash. Take it from a tech
The filters are fine. The design is crappy.
It's nissan bad design.
Don't fallow this does not work on 2019 murano
