Nissan Altima 2007-2012 Cabin Filter replacement

[@lachellecollick655]

Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! I saved so much money by doing this myself, and it didn't even hurt my feminine hands😂! I love diy projects and I have always tried to do thing myself wherever possible. Thanks again! By far the easiest explanation of how to change this filter.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Way to go girl!!!!!..So glad it helped you...Keep up the good work!!!..and Thanks for sharing your comment..

[@elainetuck936]

Hi. Thank you. I ordered filter from Amazon for around 8.00 dollars. I told my husband this was more complicated than he originally thought. After watching this he was of course outside working on this and I know he was was frustrated. He did it. Thanks for your lets get this done attitude.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So glad to hear that the video help..Thanks for sharing that, I do appreciate that...Good luck with more projects going forward..As I always said.."things are easy to when you know what your doing"..Thanks again

[@DavidRitko]

I hope he doesn’t have to fill the curse word jar 😂

[@abdullafghan]

Mechanic told me 35$ cuz it takes them 30 minutes. I said I'll do it. Thanks man

[@Backyardprojectguy]

yea..Its pretty easy..MY dealer has a $50 charge just to have things looked at

[@donbeck6919]

Watching this makes me think I have to change my filter....Thanks

[@alexrdh3591]

Great video ken! 2007 Nissan Altima: I have 0 experience with cars other than start it and go and I’ve done a few oil changes myself. I removed and “installed” the cabin air filter without taking off the glove compartment. Took about 5 minutes to rip it out (lol) then 10 minutes to fish back into the hole. The air flow arrow on the filter goes toward the rear of the car.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Nice job>> Good to hear...Things can be simple when you understand them or see someone else doing it.. Are you ready to change a head light??.I have that Video too..

[@ForbiddenUser403]

What the hell kind of sadistic nutcase engineer came up with that design? Why.. In the hell.. Would they put something, that you are supposed to commonly change.. In a location like that? Someone at Nissan needs to be horsewhipped.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Well said...I wish the Engineer who design this would be next to me while I change it..so I can ask..WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!! I feel they make it hard so we have to take it back to the dealership, and the can make more money..

[@douglasb.1238]

I agree with you bro...makes no sense why they did it this way....

[@shawnouko2997]

Lol wait till you have to change headlight bulb

[@Iridiumcosmos]

Review Sam Care to explain?

[@tungsten8290]

I bet they made it that way to make it easier to have both left and right hand drive cars, with minimal changes in the design from one to the other.

[@purpletoothfairy1595]

I think that you have the air flow direction backwards. The original filter has the arrow pointed towards the rear of the car and the replacement filter I bought has the removal tab at the bottom and the only way to insert the filter and still have access to the removal tab is if the arrow is pointing towards the rear. I checked a few other instructional videos and they too said that the air flow arrow points to the rear.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

UGH..Thank you for pointing that out..

[@leeannbrown9386]

Thanks 😊👍

[@q2le26]

This was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. But the video helped a lot. Thank you!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Nice job on your project...So glad to hear that the Video helped...Thanks for letting me know that..

[@drivewaygarage1561]

Thanks for the video I replace a lot of cabin air filters because most people don't even know they have them but this one looks like one of the worst ones to install

[@Backyardprojectguy]

YEA..No easy..BUT if you have small hands you could reach in back without taken the glovebox off and replace the filter..Its a very small area to work around..But that's the business of working on cars..Good luck with your projects

[@martinfreedom5649]

Watching this video really helped me when I did the job..

[@HypocriticYT]

Great video, at first after removing the glovebox I couldn’t see the filter cover because it was behind that plastic vent aiming down.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So glad to hear the video help, thanks for sharing that....Good luck with your next project..

[@alpnakhanna548]

Excellent, now i am going to change the cabin filter for my daughters Nissan Altima 2008. Thanks for posting

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great..Glad it can help...Good luck with your project

[@nelsonhill7759]

After watching this video the job was so easy to do, Good instructions well detailed

[@jimjoannegranzotto1480]

A miserable project to do on a hot day. I didn’t have to remove the glovebox but I did have to lay on my back to get to the location. Really do have to squish that brand new filter! And it doesn’t slide in easily. Just hope it works.

[@donaldramon5382]

I did it, after watching this video it was really easy...Thanks my man..

[@hankhampton2798]

I never knew about the cabin filter..Thanks for sharing this...Thumbs up I liked

[@scottjameson7247]

Thanks for showing us this. You made it look so easy.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

[@dianaalvarez5397]

Thank you so much you are more detailed than the other videos I was going by

[@Backyardprojectguy]

thanks..I appreciate the comment..Its always nice to know that it helped someone!!

[@joebobel1498]

I appreciate you for making a video. I am about to do this for the first time on my Altima!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good luck with your project..

[@johnrufino2259]

Thank you very much. Appreciate the video. It took me 15 minutes to do it on my 2011 Altima.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Cool so glad this could help you..I hope it saved you time and money!!

[@lisalee-lee235]

Wow! Nissan sure doesn't make it easy peasy! 🙄 Thank you so much for your video, very helpful. 👍👍

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yea..glad it could help

[@FoxNewsNewYork]

Thanks so much. Best video on removing and installing the filter!

[@Manduhmoon]

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I just replaced mine, and my 2007 Altima had the stock filter in it. Gross!! P.S. I bought the car used and it’s never safe to assume basic maintenance has been done...

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So true...So glad this could help you...Amazing how easy things can be when you know what you are doing!!..So glad to hear that..Thanks for the comment..

[@eggyolkeo6422]

What the heck?

[@robertlane7443]

after watching this I feel very confident about doing this

[@urielgalvan1095]

Look so easy till you doing it. Going be time to change my and was wondering where it was. I only had chevy pick ups there easy to change. This is my first time on a second car.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good luck with your project. I can only hope the video helps

[@lindafickus1535]

Nice to know, although I guess I’ll have to pay the dealer since I don’t think I could do this. You made it look easy.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

You don’t want to give it a try?

[@andrewbonden3034]

After watching this I feel I know how to change this filter...and its a filter that everyone forget about.

[@willwyman5005]

I need to do this..thanks for showing me..It looks easy

[@ericksonwilliams1014]

Once I watch this video, it made the job easy

[@Backyardprojectguy]

😁

[@gabe6316]

Great video with easy to follow instructions! I know what channel to come to when I need to work on my Altima!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thank you for the kind words, also glad to hear that it helped someone save time and money!!

[@DataAnalyticsisFunnn]

Thank you for the video. Great help, even in 2024.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thanks, always good to hear that it helped someone, that's what it is all about

[@Michael_SLS]

Thanks brother. Greeting from Wesley Chapel FL. 8/2024

[@Backyardprojectguy]

ou bet..Good luck with your projects

[@MiDeb]

You don’t have to remove glove box. Just pull side cover of console off on right side and that little door is right there..

[@Backyardprojectguy]

yep you are correct....But with my big fat hands I have trouble getting to it..Thanks for the comment..I appreciate it

[@timothylaskey6003]

I did not know that there was such a thing.Thanks for showing me.

[@nana_optimist]

Thank you. I was able to do it following your instructions

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thank you for the comment..That's always good to hear that it helped someone

[@edwardgrayton529]

I learned something here, now I have to go change this filter, never knew it existed

[@Dontez82]

Thank you very much for this video! Very simple and to the point! I’m going to change mine today.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

If you are flexable you MIGHT be able to change this filter without taken the glove compartment out..Tricky But can be done..You have to be able to reach far and under..Let me know how you make out

[@MM-wk5er]

Best video out there thanks

[@bretcales6806]

Good information to know, thanks Ken for showing us

[@Backyardprojectguy]

t

[@johnfrazzini]

After watching this video I decided see if if was possible to skip removing the glove box. I installed a new cabin filter in my 2008 Altima without removing the glove box. You can access the filter without removing the glove box.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yes you are correct..But with my big hand it makes so hard to reach into that place and I can't get my big fat head around to see what I'm doing..But Yes it can be done..

[@phxsun2001tony]

I did it without removing the glove box on my 2015 Altima. Nissan made some changes and it is possible to do it without removing it.

[@est7chrst]

Going to change mine today. Thank you for the video. Ill let you know how it goes.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good luck with your project, hope the video helps.....You should do just fine!!!...You Go Girl!!

[@est7chrst]

Took me about 15-20mins. Wasn't tough at all. Thanks!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Nice job...Well done!!! and you saved money..

[@diegocortez3196]

Ive done this many times… you do not have to drop the glove box. Just lay on your back, reach up under the glove box and pull it out… easy to put it in as well. 5 minutes max

[@Backyardprojectguy]

You are correct you don’t need to drop the glove box unless you have a big fat fingers like I do and it makes it so much easier

[@gearymorris1024]

Excellent video! It made my task much easier. Thanks so much

[@mathaithomas3642]

thanks for the video.now i know the easy way to change the filter.

[@waynedixon2246]

I did not know about these..this is good to know..thanks

[@zakcounter8037]

Great video..this really help me get the job done..and SAVED ME MONEY.. thanks again

[@DeeInTheHouse]

..air flow arrow on filter must point to the rear of the car NOT front!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good call thanks

[@henrytom5824]

Was going to say same thing lol

[@henrytom5824]

2 years late

[@ravenmatthew5311]

I came to the comments just to make sure I wasn't crazy lol!!

[@rogersomers6979]

very good instructions, easy to follow.

[@wendyhappel4989]

Fantastic! Thank you for this. It was well done and I'm looking forward to saving at least $40!

[@jaymcburney1050]

Watch out for the trunk release valet lockout switch connection- very delicate

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yes Yes..Good to know

[@LarryGriffen]

nice job on the detail, it helped big time

[@AlignedAbundant_Flow]

thank you for sharing this. i have a question regarding the filter cover. if it is not place in correctly would that trigger a sensor? i had my check engine light come on and the code (P0101) stated that the mass air flow is out of range.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Try diving the car 30 to 40 miles to see if the check engine light goes off..

[@AlignedAbundant_Flow]

thank you i'll try it out.

[@kikenium1]

Also make sure you install it correctly, there's an arrow in the filter that indicates the airflow

[@obewise]

The MAF sensor is under the hood between the engine air filter (not the same as the cabin air filter) and the engine. You could try purchasing some MAF sensor cleaner at your local auto parts store and cleaning the wires. You might also need to change the engine air filter.

[@fredforman3386]

you make it look so easy

[@Backyardprojectguy]

[@leonardandson]

This was a real helpful video.

[@suethomas4336]

this video really helped me...Thanks ken

[@rogersomers6979]

very good instructions

[@FoxNewsNewYork]

Does the arrow on the filter point toward the front or back of the car?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

front of the car

[@FoxNewsNewYork]

I'm confused now. A few years ago one of the commenters corrected you and said the arrow points to the rear of the car and you agreed.@@Backyardprojectguy

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@FoxNewsNewYork So sorry for the confusion..The Arrow goes with air flow..I hope this helps

[@FoxNewsNewYork]

Still confused. Which way is airflow? To the front or back?@@Backyardprojectguy

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@FoxNewsNewYork Can you see the motor? it has to blow out

[@jackstrong7382]

Nicely done, easy to follow

[@kevinmerk9945]

great job with this easy

[@nibbanadhatu]

Hi, is the cover of the slot supposed to click somehow? In my case there was no click, just entered easily. May be, i did not do it in right way?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I betting that no click just means that your cover fits much better then mine..Should not be a problem..

[@charlie4mlife507]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So glad to hear that it helped you..I Hope it saved you time and MONEY!!

[@HypocriticYT]

Mine was BLACK with dust and larger bits, never been changed in over 200,000 miles. No wonder the fan didn’t blow much unless on high

[@mahreeohhhh]

Great video! Thanks for this!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thanks for the comment..So glad it could help

[@michaelrowtheboat]

The cabin air filter on my '13 Altima has slipped to the engine side of the slot. I might be able to grab the bottom frame with a needle nosed plier. I don't want to tear the filter so it'll fall apart in the housing. Help !!!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Ugh. The needle nose should be able to grab the filter. Good luck with thst

[@michaelrowtheboat]

@@Backyardprojectguy Actually I used a medical 'hemostat'-- because the pinchers could be locked once I got a good grip on the cloth fabric of the filter. It took a lot of tugging to finally get it out in one piece.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@michaelrowtheboat Great idea..so glad it worked out for you

[@omayrabibiloni3717]

Yes you have to remove it. I tried to do it without removing the gloves compartment and it was a headache.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I agree..But I wasn't sure if you could pull a Harry Hundini or NOT!!...THANKS

well done,,very clear

[@tonyslawncare]

Great video thank you

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Glad it can help...Thanks

[@Ishijah23]

I appreciate your video ... but you did it in the most difficult way ... on the left glove box, just wipe the inside cover and voila ... try it, you'll see...

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I did it..and yes you are correct..A little tight but it can work..Thanks for sharing..I Learned something Thanks again

[@korea.lawyer]

Are you sure that air flows rear to front through the filter? I guess pulling tab of the filter must be located right bottom side(just like the one you pulled out). Plz let it be clear~! Thank you so much!! from Korea.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good call thanks

[@donaldramon5382]

I will give it a try..
