Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Nissan GT-R requires attention to both its engine air filter and cabin air filter—each plays a distinct role in performance and comfort.

The cabin air filter safeguards interior air quality by trapping pollen, dust, and road pollutants so occupants breathe cleaner air. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine service and recommend OEM parts that preserve performance and long-term value. When you choose our dealership, you get transparent estimates, documented inspections, and the reassurance that warranty-covered items are handled by certified pros.
