You get what you pay for! Application: 2008 Nissan Frontier

I have used K&N filters in motorcycles, cars and trucks for many years. They live up to their reputation! I just found out recently that they also make cabin air filters. It was a timely revelation as I am renovating my 264,000 mile 2008 Nissan Frontier to give my eldest son his first car. With over 30,000 miles since last change, replacing the OE cabin air filter is overdue. After removing the paper tore. Worse, I saw that the filter's "frame," if you can call it that, shrank upon installation, leaving a significant gap between the two halves of the filter. Enter K&N. Upon unpacking the replacement filters, it was immediately apparent that the quality is MUCH higher. Installation wasn't too difficult, flow was great and the smell in the truck improved immediately. A few notes: 1) When purchasing the filter specified for your application, the box contains a complete set; That means if your application requires two filters, K&N includes them in ONE box. 2) For those who are used to K&N engine filters, please note that cabin air filters do NOT have the typical red color that comes from the filter oil. This is intentional. DO NOT lubricate the cabin filter with oil. It is ready to use. 3) When it comes time to clean your K&N cabin air filter, make sure you use a specially designed kit. DO NOT use an engine filter kit. 4) When installing the cabin air filter on a 2005 to present Nissan Frontier, tilt the first filter to the passenger side of the filter box (ie towards the right front wheel when viewed from the side). in the cab, facing forward), then slide the end closest to you to the right. Make sure it's flush on both ends; Otherwise, the second filter cannot be installed.
