Thanks for this video. Took five minutes to do because you showed exactly how to do it. I bought a charcoal filter on ebay for less than 10 bucks delivered.
Oh my God thankyou! Finally someone actually DOING IT instead of just talking about how they did it. I got the 5 screws out but was unsure of if I should wiggle it out or what. I have a 2019 titan sv & so I figured it'd be just like your frontier. Thankyou so much!
Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. I've had my '22 Frontier for a year now so its time to change the filter. Fairly simple job but not as easy as my old '15 Frontier.
Super easy to do. Thanks for the consise steps in a simple video. Saved me time figuring out if just yanking on the glovebox was safe to do after taking out the screws. Also, where the clips for the fuse block were located. Only suggestion would be putting a title slide withe the Nissan part number, what tools are needed (Phillips and a narrow flat blade screwdriver is all). The time to do this is 10 minutes of contact time. Easy peasy!
This is actually easier than the previous gen Frontier. The 2nd gen was difficult sliding the filter in and out one really had to force fit it. This one requires a few more screws, but at least the filter is eventually easy to slide in and out.
You could do that with 2nd-Gen Frontiers, but you absolutely can not with the 3rd-Gens. Trust me, I looked for every single possibility. It’s because they moved the filter position downward and the fuse panel up and in, unfortunately. The fuse panel is smack dab in front of the filter housing.
I haven't done this yet. From what I can see in the vid, it looks like the fuse box can be removed by just taking the two bolts out and removing it with the metal bracket still attached. Can anyone confirm? Seems less risky than possibly breaking off a plastic tab.
That’s a good question, I’ve done this a couple times and have never felt there was a danger of breaking the tabs. I’ll be doing it again in the next few weeks so I’ll let you know if that method is possible if no one else does first.
@PeteR-dd8oq I changed it again today and you can, in fact, just remove the bracket with the fuse box still attached. You’ll need a 12mm socket. Thanks for the suggestion of an alternative option!
Thank you for the follow-up! Nissan makes it such a pain to get at. You're video is much appreciated by those of us that haven't gone through the process yet.
Had I known this was the direction Nissan was going to go, making something that could have been a very simple task so difficult, I would have bought another brand of vehicle.
@@hailstorm1986 you apparently haven't tried replacing the filter in a '22 model yet. The old models were simple, this one requires quite a bit of work to get to the filter.
Crazy how they position these things to make your work harder.. they really don't wont you DIYing stuff. Lol How many miles you think we should replace these?? I'm at 17k miles now
Yeah they really don’t, do they? Gotta get that service $$$! They also had to cram MUCH more tech into these 3rd Gens with about the same space constraints as the 2nd Gens. Cabin air filter routine replacement is recommended every 15k or so; and even less if you regularly drive through dust, etc. I just passed 14.5k
@@therealmccoy2004 You got it! Glad to help the Nissan Frontier community. Looked for a tutorial myself for awhile. It’s still so new that there wasn’t any yet, so I broke down and figured it out lol
After closely reviewing my raw footage, my best guess is it’s a type 168. I looked in the service manual and under the glove box bulb type, it’s blank :-(
@johnnysprockets9545 Hey there! Didn’t forget about this. I had to change mine out today and figured out it’s a Sylvania 74 “LONGLIFE” bulb. It’s available at the major auto parts stores. I paid $7 for a 2-pack.
@@hulong0205 Just did my break in change, too, on my '23 Pro 4X. Really not as bad as I thought it'd be. Threading the new filter through that tiny compartment door was the toughest part.
Wow, disappointed with the process. For my Honda, you just drop down the glovebox, open the hinged cover, swap out the filter and pop the glove box back in........ 3 minutes, no power tools.
It was actually that easy with the previous generation of these trucks. Customer-performed maintenance was obviously not made a priority in this design!
These little how-to videos have saved me so much time. This one's great! Thanks
Absolutely. Glad it helped!
Usually, on RUclips, difficult jobs are over simplified. Easy jobs are over complicated. This video is perfect. Super easy job easily shown how to do.
I’m glad it helped!
Straight to point. Thank you. No long ass unnecessary intro.
Thanks for this video. Took five minutes to do because you showed exactly how to do it. I bought a charcoal filter on ebay for less than 10 bucks delivered.

Thank you for posting this. I saved at least $60 to $70 compared to what the dealer what charging me.

You’re absolutely welcome! And you’re so right; the cabin air filter in the previous Gen was MUCH easier to replace.
I love it. No b.s. and straight to the point. Thanks!
Thank you for making the video I really appreciate it my dealer wanted to charge $300 for replacement of both air filters.
Absolutely. Glad it helped you out.
$300??? That’s outrageous! Borderline robbery.
wow they were only going to charge me 100 for both but it only had 3k miles so i didnt need it

I’m glad this helped! Also, thanks for the great suggestion! If I do any more videos like this, I’ll certainly incorporate that.
Thanks you helped me figure out how to get a better view of the fuse box to install my dash cam.
I used the same method to install my own dash cam 👍🏻
All these people complaining about difficulty. Yes now it's a couple minutes more work, fml it's not the end of the world.
You’re absolutely right! It’s still much better than paying Nissan $50+ to do it.
plus most act like the newer gens of other vehicles coming out probably wont be just as bad
@@Jonathan_Sluss$87 at my dealer lol
@@JULIANMONSON That’s a lot! That filter costs $20 at AutoZone. Dealerships make a killing off of labor.

...I'm glad they made it so easy 🤦
Thank you for making the video though
Thank you for showing it's actually pretty . thought u made it look simple
This video is a testament to how much Nissan put into research and development in their trucks in the last 30 years.😂
Ironically, the cabin air filter on my Gen 2 Frontier was much easier to replace.
Thank you for the video.
Way more difficult than my 2018. Have a 2024, and now i know what to look for.
Thanks for the video. I def said f it on that right side gasket haha but I got it done
Thanks for the step by step brother!
Great video, but should there be audio?
No
Thanks for sharing this informative video.
there seems to be tabs you can just pull on each side. my older Toyotas were like this

Thank you!
Thank you!!! Where did you get the new filter?

😊 How much would you charge me for changing it, to be honest, I don't have the patience to do that

Do you happen to kno what size light bulb is in the glove box

Good info thanks…
If you break the clip with the string it's part number 68513M it's about $25 or you put a nail through it and safety wire it 😅
This is good info, thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks, surprisingly my Jag F-type is easier.
Thank you
In case anyone is wondering, there is no sound for this video.
Less talking, more doing. ;-)
Thank you! Original filter was naaaasty
Wow the previous model was like a 3 min job.
You’re absolutely right. A simple drop of the glove compartment and you had direct access! Unfortunately no more…
I thought the 13 altima's design was horrible, and a truck's will be much easier. But looking at this.... sigh.... Just got my 23 a few weeks ago...
2005-2021 Frontier cabin filters were very easy. It’s very unfortunate Nissan changed it into this.
@@Jonathan_Sluss 23 oil filter design is also bad. Just did my break in oil change 😩
@@hulong0205 Just did my break in change, too, on my '23 Pro 4X. Really not as bad as I thought it'd be. Threading the new filter through that tiny compartment door was the toughest part.
@@Jonathan_Slussjust did my cabin filter today. And I broke one of the upper plastic teeth. Glue it back with superglue. Dislike this design. 😾
REALLY? Nissan couldn’t figure out ANY OTHER spot but this for the cabin air filter?
Yeah, this is not ideal.
Mines just gonna have to sit there for another 100k miles 😂
Good grief this is a terrible design compared to EVERY other vehicle I've owned. What a pain in the a$$ just to change a filter.
I was captivated by the sweat dripping off his nose.
Interesting.
It really is the little things in life.
