2023 Nissan Murano Air Filter in Mesa, AZ

It’s in the engine bay inside a sealed airbox that feeds the 3.5L V6 intake.

The 2023 Nissan Murano uses a panel-style engine air filter housed in a rectangular airbox upstream of the intake ducting. Access typically involves unclipping or unscrewing the airbox cover and lifting out the filter. Our Mesa service team can check this quickly during routine maintenance and advise if replacement is needed, especially after dusty desert drives.

• Located in the engine bay, within a rectangular airbox
• Upstream of the intake tube for the 3.5L V6 engine
• Access via clips or screws on the airbox cover

It’s typically behind the glove box inside the passenger-side dash.

The 2023 Nissan Murano’s cabin air filter sits in the HVAC housing, commonly reached by lowering or removing the glove box to access the filter door. Because trim pieces can be tight, many owners prefer a professional replacement to avoid broken tabs. Our Mesa facility can replace it and check blower performance in one visit.

• Access point: behind glove box, passenger-side dash
• Filters dust, pollen, and road debris from HVAC air
• Professional service helps avoid trim damage

Follow the interval in your Nissan Maintenance Schedule for the 2023 Murano, then adjust for Arizona’s dusty conditions.

The owner’s manual interval is the official guide, and real-world driving in the Phoenix East Valley—where dust and construction zones are common—may require earlier service. We recommend having the filter inspected at each oil change to catch heavy dust loading before it hurts performance or fuel economy. Our Mesa team documents findings and shares the condition with you.

• Use Nissan’s maintenance schedule as the baseline
• Increase inspection frequency in dusty or off-pavement driving
• Quick airbox check available during routine visits

Use the 2023 Murano owner’s manual interval, with more frequent changes during high-dust or peak pollen seasons in Mesa.

Cabin filters load faster in the desert, especially during monsoon dust events and spring pollen peaks. If you notice reduced airflow or persistent odors, have it checked sooner. Our service lane can inspect the filter and confirm replacement needs, then reset reminders so you stay on track.

• Manual interval is the official reference
• Shorten interval for dusty routes or allergy seasons
• Inspection available during any service visit

The engine filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake from debris, while the cabin filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

Both are essential but serve different systems. The engine filter lives in the airbox under the hood to prevent dirt from reaching combustion components. The cabin filter sits in the HVAC housing to remove dust and pollen from interior airflow. Replacing each on schedule maintains performance, air quality, and HVAC efficiency in Arizona conditions.

• Engine filter: engine bay airbox, protects intake system
• Cabin filter: HVAC housing, improves in-cabin air
• Separate inspection and replacement procedures

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine), and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin).

If your 2023 Nissan Murano feels sluggish or returns fewer MPG, the engine filter may be restricted. Inside the cabin, a dusty scent, fogged windows that clear slowly, or noisy fans with poor airflow suggest a clogged cabin filter. Mesa’s dusty roads can accelerate these symptoms, so quick inspections help prevent larger issues.

• Engine: hesitation, diminished MPG, rougher idle
• Cabin: weak vents, odors, increased fan noise
• Arizona dust/pollen can speed up clogging

The engine filter is often DIY-friendly; the cabin filter may require glove box removal best handled by a technician.

Many Murano owners can open the airbox and swap the engine filter with basic tools. The cabin filter sits behind trim and can be easier to damage if forced. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, we also inspect the intake housing, check the MAF sensor area, and dispose of old filters responsibly—steps that protect long-term reliability.

• DIY possible for engine filter with simple tools
• Cabin access can involve trim/glove box removal
• Dealer adds intake/MAF checks and proper disposal

The 2023 Nissan Murano uses a panel-style engine air filter for its 3.5L V6 and a rectangular cabin microfilter for the HVAC system. Follow the owner’s manual maintenance schedule for official replacement intervals; desert dust and monsoon-season debris in Greater Phoenix may justify earlier inspections. Using OEM-spec filters helps preserve airflow, performance, and interior air quality. If your Murano shows reduced power or weak vent airflow, have both filters inspected before they impact MPG or HVAC components. Bring your 2023 Nissan Murano to Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
