2018 Nissan Murano Air Filter
Nissan Air Filter service at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
12 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2018 Nissan Murano?
The 2018 Nissan Murano’s engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, typically on the driver’s side near the intake duct.
This airbox feeds the 3.5-liter V6 (3498 cc) intake, protecting the engine from dust and debris common to Arizona roads. Pop the hood, trace the intake tube from the grille area, and you’ll find the latches or screws securing the housing. Replacing a clogged filter helps maintain smooth power and fuel economy on city and highway drives around Mesa.
- Rectangular airbox in the engine bay
- Access via clips or screws on the housing lid
- Feeds the 3.5L V6 intake for clean combustion
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2018 Nissan Murano?
The cabin air filter is typically behind the glove box on the 2018 Nissan Murano, accessed by lowering or removing the glove compartment.
This filter cleans air entering the HVAC system—useful during dusty Phoenix days and spring pollen bursts. Expect a small cover panel ahead of the blower motor with tabs or screws. If you’d prefer professional help, you can schedule service online with Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa.
- Location: behind or just beyond the glove box
- Access panel near the blower motor
- Protects passengers from dust, pollen, and odors
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2018 Nissan Murano?
The engine air filter protects the V6 intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.
On the 2018 Nissan Murano, the engine filter lives in the under‑hood airbox to keep dirt out of the 3.5L engine. The cabin filter, usually behind the glove box, traps dust and allergens for interior comfort. Both affect performance—one for the powertrain, one for passengers.
- Engine filter: airbox in engine bay; affects power and MPG
- Cabin filter: behind glove box; affects HVAC airflow and air quality
- Different materials and dimensions, not interchangeable
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2018 Nissan Murano?
Engine: reduced power and lower fuel economy; Cabin: weak airflow and musty odors are the most common signs.
On Mesa’s dusty roads, the Murano’s engine filter can load up, causing sluggish acceleration or a rough idle. Inside, a dirty cabin filter restricts HVAC flow and can create odors, especially after monsoon humidity or during pollen season. Addressing both early helps your Murano feel quieter, cooler, and more responsive.
- Engine: hesitation, rough idle, or poor MPG
- Cabin: weak vent airflow, window fogging, or odors
- Visible dirt on filter pleats during inspection
Can I replace the air filter on my 2018 Nissan Murano myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes—engine filters are usually DIY‑friendly on the 2018 Nissan Murano, while cabin filters may require glove box removal and careful reassembly.
Many owners swap the engine filter at home by unclipping the airbox. The cabin filter can be tighter to access and benefits from a careful seal to avoid HVAC noise or gaps. A dealer visit adds a model‑specific inspection and proper filter fitment. You can schedule an appointment or check service specials online.
- DIY: engine filter via airbox clips or screws
- Cabin: glove box access; watch tabs and seals
- Dealer: correct orientation, housing check, and disposal

Does dust in Phoenix’s East Valley mean I should check the 2018 Nissan Murano cabin filter more often?
Yes—desert dust and seasonal pollen in the Phoenix East Valley can load the Murano’s cabin filter faster than average.
Mesa’s dry climate, construction zones, and spring blooms push more particulates through the HVAC system. If you notice weaker airflow or odors, inspect the cabin filter sooner rather than later. For convenience, use our online tool to schedule service and we’ll assess both engine and cabin filters together.

Knowing the exact engine helps ensure you get the correct filter profile for airflow and sealing.
