Thanks. I removed all the visible screws instead – spent an hour figuring
out what to do then decided to visit youtube. Now I’m sure that I’ll be
able to replace my filter. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for the video. It was very helpful.

2012 Xterra Pro 4X Weird, mine were installed the same w/ arrow pointing
up. Even recently had some services & the Nissan shop checked them meaning
they either put them back in upside down or just left them that way. The
service dept recommended they be changed (and they needed it) but they said
total would be $126 – not going to happen I am a perfectly capable
person….$31.14 at Amazon – Nissan parts. I can’t even imagine how long
they were calculating labor. I really appreciate the video – I know its in
the book but video is just better. I also changed my engine filter w/ a
Wix ($16.66 Amazon)- I can’t believe ppl actually pay others to do that.
Filters were a bit of a pain to seat back in b/c of the angles and the way
it is tucked into the compartment – once you put the first one in and scoot
it to the right grab a yard stick to get it all the right to the right
where it should be then the 2nd one will go in easy.

Took mine into the place where I always have the oil changed. They said the
filters needed replacing according to the schedule (I’ve had my Nissan for
nearly two years now), but when the time came, the guys said they couldn’t
find where the filters were. ^_^; At least I now know where they are.

My 2005 filters looked like they have never ever been changed. They had
arrow pointed up also. I think its suppose to be this way. Cant imagine
nissan have been doing it wrong for so many years.

Jason Lichlyter says:

By the way, my factory filters were also installed upside down!

Thanks that just saved me $70. 

Larry Fitzgerald says:

It was much more difficult than the video showed. First, the dealer charged
$38 for the two replacement filters, about 4-5x what I could get on-line.
Totally ridiculous. Next, lowering the glove box off the support pins
required both hands and much pressure. Next, the retaining clip would not
release to open the filter box, so it needed to be bent such that is was
damaged. Next, removing and replacing the filters was tough. Poor fit. Some
duct tape secured the box cover. Big hassle.

Nice Videos Mike keep going liked the Laughlin River Run One was pretty
cool !!! Mau

Mine was so easy! I am sorry you had problems with yours. Maybe Nissan
changed the design or made it easier with later models.

BRYS49ERS says:

Thanks for clarifying the arrow on the air filter. The dealer installed
mine upside down as well.

redonKiLaus says:

I am not sure if it really matters, but there is a reason why the
engineering group at Nissan designed it this way.
