2013 Nissan Murano Air Filter in Mesa, AZ

The 2013 Nissan Murano’s engine air filter sits inside the air box in the engine bay, typically forward and slightly to one side of the V6 intake tube.

This sealed housing feeds clean air to the 3.5L VQ-series V6 before it reaches the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and throttle body. In Mesa’s dusty conditions, checking this box for debris and proper sealing is essential. Our Nissan-certified technicians can open the housing, inspect the filter media, and reseat the cover to prevent unmetered air leaks.

• Located in a rectangular air box connected to the intake duct
• Upstream of the MAF sensor to protect engine components
• Tool-free or basic-tool access for quick inspection

The 2013 Nissan Murano’s cabin air filter is positioned behind or near the glove box within the HVAC intake plenum.

This placement lets the filter capture dust and pollen before air reaches the vents. Access usually involves lowering or removing the glove box and opening a small service door—trim clips and tight clearances are common. In the Phoenix East Valley, fine dust and spring blooms can load the cabin filter quickly, reducing airflow and increasing window fogging.

• Mounted in the HVAC case behind the glove box area
• Protects evaporator core and improves interior air quality
• Access panel allows directional (airflow) correct installation

The engine air filter protects the V6’s intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe inside the 2013 Nissan Murano.

Under-hood, the engine filter prevents dust from reaching the MAF sensor and cylinders, supporting power and fuel economy. Inside, the cabin filter traps dust, pollen, and debris to maintain airflow and air quality. Mesa’s desert driving exposes both to heavy dust, so periodic inspection of each is smart maintenance.

• Engine filter: performance and engine protection
• Cabin filter: occupant comfort and HVAC health
• Different locations, materials, and airflow directions

Common engine filter signs include reduced power and lower fuel economy; cabin filter signs include weak HVAC airflow and musty odors in a 2013 Nissan Murano.

When the engine filter is restricted, the 3.5L V6 may feel sluggish, idle roughly, or trigger an air-intake-related warning after the MAF. A loaded cabin filter can strain the blower motor and fog windows faster. Arizona dust, construction zones, and off-pavement detours in the East Valley accelerate these symptoms.

• Engine: hesitation, rough idle, poorer MPG
• Cabin: weak fan output, odors, increased window fogging
• Visible dirt or darkened filter media on inspection

The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box access—dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and an intake/MAF check.

If you’re comfortable with basic tools, you can usually replace the engine filter via the air box. Cabin filters may involve trim clips and tighter spaces; incorrect seating can cause whistling or reduced airflow. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, we use Nissan-spec filters, verify the air box seal, and visually inspect the MAF for dust.

The 2013 Nissan Murano uses two filters: an engine air filter in the under-hood air box and a cabin air filter within the HVAC case behind the glove box. The engine filter safeguards the 3.5L V6’s intake tract and MAF sensor; the cabin filter improves passenger air quality and helps keep the evaporator core clean. Always match OEM-spec dimensions and sealing profiles to maintain proper airflow and filtration. Arizona’s dust and seasonal pollen can load both filters faster than average, so periodic inspection is recommended—especially after monsoon dust storms or construction-zone driving. Bring your 2013 Nissan Murano to Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
