Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2021 Nissan GT-R uses two distinct filters with separate functions: the engine air filter protects the twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6 and helps preserve the vehicle’s 565 horsepower and turbo health, while the cabin air filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and road pollutants. Maintaining both filters is essential—neglecting the engine air filter can reduce performance and increase strain on turbochargers, and ignoring the cabin filter reduces comfort and HVAC efficiency. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters as part of routine service, documenting condition and recommending OEM replacements when needed. We emphasize transparent pricing, and our estimates reflect immediate and long-term savings by preventing costly repairs and maintaining factory warranty coverage. Repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain compliant, which is why our service department uses OEM parts and thorough records.
