Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2020 Nissan Altima features distinct filtration systems serving different purposes: the engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L VC-T inline-4 engine from particulates that can erode performance and damage internal components, while the cabin air filter maintains air quality for vehicle occupants by trapping pollen, dust, and road debris. Maintaining both filters helps preserve horsepower (248 hp) and torque characteristics that owners expect from this performance-minded midsize sedan. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during service intervals and recommend OEM replacements when needed. Using genuine Nissan parts ensures fit and filtration efficiency, protecting fuel economy and engine longevity. We emphasize transparency—every inspection includes a clear report and pricing options, and repairs covered under warranty must be performed by certified dealerships to preserve coverage. For convenient care, you can schedule service online, take advantage of our current service specials, and ask about service financing so you can get what your Altima needs today and pay later.
