Where is the engine air filter located on a 2022 Nissan Altima?

The 2022 Nissan Altima engine air filter sits in a rectangular airbox on the driver-side/front of the 2.5L inline-4 engine bay.

This airbox draws intake air through the filter before it reaches the throttle body and mass airflow sensor. In Mesa’s dusty conditions, this location helps capture debris early. If you’re unsure, our Nissan-certified technicians can confirm placement and fitment quickly during an inspection.

  • Engine: 2.5L inline-4 (regular unleaded)
  • Typical housing: rectangular airbox with clips or screws
  • Address: 2025 W Riverview Auto Dr, Mesa, AZ 85201
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2022 Nissan Altima?

The 2022 Nissan Altima cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC case.

Access typically involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door. This placement lets the filter trap dust and pollen before air enters the vents—useful for Phoenix-area spring blooms and monsoon dust. Our team can replace it quickly and verify blower operation.

  • Typical access: glove box detent removal
  • Function: filters HVAC air for passengers
  • Schedule service: book online
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Nissan Altima?

The engine air filter protects the 2.5L intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

The engine filter lives in the under-hood airbox and safeguards combustion efficiency and sensors; the cabin filter sits behind the glove box to improve in-car air quality. Both are important in the Phoenix East Valley due to dust and seasonal allergens.

  • Engine filter: performance and fuel-economy protection
  • Cabin filter: reduces dust, pollen, and odors in vents
  • OEM-spec parts available at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Nissan Altima?

Common signs include reduced power, lower MPG, or rough idle for the engine, and weak airflow or musty odors from the vents for the cabin.

In Mesa’s dusty climate, filters can load more quickly—especially after wind events or construction-zone driving. If your 2022 Nissan Altima feels sluggish or your A/C airflow fades, a quick inspection can confirm filter condition and related intake concerns.

  • Engine symptoms: hesitation, poor acceleration, lower fuel economy
  • Cabin symptoms: reduced fan output, lingering odors, dust on dash
  • Check specials: service offers
Can I replace the air filter on my 2022 Nissan Altima myself, or should Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa do it?

Yes—engine filters are typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter may require glove box removal; dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and system checks.

Many owners can change the engine filter using basic tools; the cabin filter can involve trim clips and tight access. Our Mesa team also inspects the intake housing and visually checks the MAF sensor to prevent drivability issues after replacement.

  • DIY: engine airbox clips/screws and correct filter orientation
  • Dealer: OEM fitment, intake seal checks, disposal
  • Schedule: schedule service
