Your Pathfinder uses two filters: one for the engines air intake and one for the cabin HVAC system.

The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 by removing dirt before it reaches the intake, helping preserve power and fuel economy. The cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe by trapping dust and pollen before it enters the HVAC system. Both are important in Arizonas dusty environment.

• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality
• Each has its own access and service steps
