Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
While both filters are called “air filters,” the engine and cabin filters serve distinct roles on a 2016 Nissan GT-R and both deserve regular attention. The engine air filter ensures clean airflow to the turbocharged engine, protecting turbine blades and maintaining horsepower and fuel efficiency. The cabin air filter protects occupants from allergens, dust, and particulates, preserving interior comfort and HVAC performance. Neglecting either can lead to reduced performance, higher fuel consumption, and an unpleasant cabin environment. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa our team inspects both filters as part of routine service, replaces them with OEM parts when needed, and documents the work to maintain your service history and warranty eligibility—remember that warranty-covered work must be completed at a certified dealer. We prioritize clear communication, fast service, and evidence-based recommendations, and we offer service financing and promotional service specials to reduce upfront cost.
