Question 11

2016 Nissan Maxima Air Filter Specifications

Accepted Answer

The 2016 Nissan Maxima uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 300 horsepower, and its engine air filter protects the combustion-air intake from dust and debris.

The manufacturer’s published schedule calls for engine air-filter replacement every 30,000 miles and cabin air-filter replacement every 15,000 miles. Mesa’s dusty conditions, pollen seasons, and regular road exposure can increase visible debris and restriction, making condition checks useful between scheduled intervals.
