Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2013 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet relies on two distinct filtration systems that serve different purposes: the engine air filter preserves combustion performance while the cabin air filter protects the comfort and health of occupants. The engine air filter ensures clean airflow to the 3.5L V6, supporting the vehicle’s 265 hp output and preserving torque delivery during acceleration and highway cruising. The cabin air filter traps pollen, dust, and particulates to maintain a healthier in-cabin environment and keep the HVAC system operating efficiently. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance and will explain the condition and recommended replacement interval in clear, transparent terms. Using OEM parts and dealer-grade procedures reduces the likelihood of premature wear, optimizing both immediate drivability and long-term engine health. Replacing worn filters at the right intervals reduces fuel consumption and helps avoid downstream repairs that can be costly over time. For convenience, we offer online appointment booking, service financing to split payments when needed, and regular service specials to lower costs.
