11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Nissan Murano?

The 2020 Nissan Murano engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside a sealed airbox near the front fender.

This rectangular housing feeds clean air to the 3.5L V6 intake and is secured with clips or screws for quick access. Positioning may vary slightly by trim, but it’s always within the engine compartment and connected to the intake tube. If you prefer professional service, our Mesa team can inspect and replace it while checking the intake seals.

  • Sealed airbox in the engine bay
  • Connected to intake tube upstream of the MAF sensor
  • Access via clips/screws for quick service
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Nissan Murano?

The 2020 Nissan Murano cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.

This position filters dust and pollen before air reaches the vents, which is especially helpful in the Phoenix East Valley. Access typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door. Our technicians can perform the swap and ensure the filter seals properly for maximum airflow.

  • Behind glove box in HVAC intake
  • Requires glove box access/removal
  • Ensures cleaner cabin air and stronger airflow
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Nissan Murano?

The engine air filter cleans air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.

On the 2020 Nissan Murano, the engine filter protects the 3.5L V6 from dust that can affect power and efficiency. The cabin filter traps dust, pollen, and debris to improve in-cabin air quality and HVAC performance. Keeping both clean maintains performance and comfort in Arizonas dusty climate.

  • Engine filter: protects intake and MAF
  • Cabin filter: improves passenger air quality
  • Each serves a distinct system and interval
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Nissan Murano?

Three common signs are reduced power, lower fuel economy, and weaker HVAC airflow or musty odors.

When the engine air filter is restricted, your 2020 Nissan Murano may hesitate under acceleration and consume more fuel. A dirty cabin filter often presents as weak vent output, increased fan noise, or stale smells—common in dusty Mesa conditions. If you notice these, book a quick inspection.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration, rougher idle
  • Cabin: weak airflow, increased fan noise
  • Odors: musty or dusty smell from vents
Can I replace the air filters on my 2020 Nissan Murano myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yesthe engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box removal and careful reassembly.

Many owners can swap the engine air filter using basic tools. The cabin filter involves interior panels and correct airflow orientation; a misfit can restrict HVAC performance. Dealer service adds intake/MAF checks and confirms Nissan-spec filtration.

  • DIY: engine filter in airbox with clips/screws
  • Cabin filter: glove box access and proper seal
