DIY In-cabin microfilter replacement

[the gerker]

Your step by step instructions were very helpful, thanks!!

So check it out... I take this MF apart and go to put the new one in... guess what? Infiniti of Knoxville sold me the wrong filter!! I was so hungover and pissed off!! I ended up putting it back together and am making them install it at no charge this time!!

thank you for this, Very nice.

Does anyone know if the filter part is the same for the G37.

As part of the 15k "premium" service, the dealership will replace the in-cabin microfilter (located behind the glovebox) for about ~$150 (~$50 for parts, ~$100 for labor.) You can do this yourself with relative ease. Order your microfilter through Grubbs Infiniti parts (they sent me one specified for the Sentra/Altima, however, it appears to be the same part and fits with no problems.) With your "6mt.net" discount, it should cost around $29 plus some shipping.

All you will need is a #2 crosstip screwdriver, possibly a #14 socket, and possibly a microfiber towel or equivalent.

1. Move your passenger seat back as far as it will go.

2. Your filter should come with instructions (for the Sentra/Altima which won't be applicable to your car), a new filter (the picture shows the old filter), precaution sticker (you most likely already have one attached to the wall directly behind the back of the glove box), and a filter replacement interval sticker (which is supposed to be attached to the inside end of your driver's door, but I did not attach it.)

Thanks for posting this. I have the servical manual for this car and it was not nearly as clear on how do this job. Thanks,

this is great. if you like to even save more money, then go ahead and look on craigslist to get the filter for a cheaper price!

Auto pats stores carry replacement filters now. They cost about $11 or so.

Nice write up, I think I have to get mine replaced soon. Although, I have tones of extra electronics behind there and am not looking forward to working around all of that!

Are these ones any good, or does it not even matter?
