The air filters for the A/C and heat need to be changed at least once a year, more often if you are in dusty/dirty conditions. Jet Tech, on our sister site ClubTitan, has an excellent post on this. Look here:

Does anyone have the info from this post by Jet Tech of the Titan site? It is not on the site anymore.

Also some one was selling cabin filters that they manufactured themselves. Who was that and did anyone buy one?

Thanks....

I tried the search function but came up empty handed.

shes in the shop now....oil change...etc...$89.00 for air filter change

$89 for the cabin filter? Damn, the filters can be had for $20 and takes all of 10 minutes to take out the 6 or so screws replace the filter and put everything back together. I'm all for paying someone else to do something you don't have time for but when the dealers rape you for 10 minutes worth of work that is just wrong.

You guys don't need to take all the screws out to get to the cabin filters. Underneath the glovebox is two retainer pins. Flip it and pull out and the glovebox come out.

Do all of the MADA's have a cabin filter or is that just for LE's? I know you can add them according to the Titan website, just wasnt sure if all MADA models carried them.

Mine is an 06 SE 4X4 and it came with the cabin filters. I changed them not too long ago!

i've read here sometime ago that instead of buying a new filter all they did was carefully washed them off and let them air dry. anyone tried washing them off?

No but I did order a set of washable filters for $50 shipped. The factory ones are paper so it's hard to wash with water and it still be intact.

I tried to wash them, but they looked grey in color after washing it so I was not sure if they were clean, but for $40.00 a year for new ones should be ok.:cool:

The $50 filter was directly from Nissan, same as their $50 for a set of $5 front mud flaps. At the time I ordered mine only the LE...maybe it was only the tech package were they only ones which it came standard.

Sorry,You are right, I was told by the dealer that it is standard, I checked the post of Djoker04, here is the link for the 04 LE

That depends on how convenient the dealer location is to you, but both coutresy and MyNissanParts are sellers of Nissan stuff. There are a few others, but I have ordered stuff from these folks.

FYI: I just noticed that our new sponsor AlamoMike carries WIX In-Cabin Microfilters. Not sure about pricing yet, we'll have to ask.

The cabin air filter is behind the glove box and the glove box
assembly must be removed

1.
• Remove the two glove box assembly screws at the left and right corners under the
glove box.
2.
• Open the glove box and remove the four retaining screws at the upper left and right
corners (it is not necessary to remove the four striker screws in the middle around
the retaining latch).
3.
• Remove the glove box assembly from the dash.
4.
• You can now see the cabin air filter cover – remove the retaining screw and then remove
the cabin air filter cover.
5.
• Remove the two cabin air filters – slide the first one out, then reach in and slide the
other one to the opening and remove it.
6.
• Slide the first new filter into position then slide it to the right, then insert the second
filter – make sure the air flow arrows are pointing downward.
7.
• Reinstall the cover and the glove box assembly.
