2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Air Filter

The engine air filter is located in the plastic intake housing inside the engine bay, typically at the front-right area of the engine compartment.

On the 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet you’ll find the intake box secured with clips or screws; it houses the rectangular engine air filter element that feeds the 3.5L V6. During a service visit our technicians open the housing to inspect the filter surface and the intake snorkel for debris and water intrusion.

• Located in the intake housing in the engine bay
• Access requires unlatching clips or removing a few fasteners
• Technician inspects housing seals and intake snorkel for damage

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

For the 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet the cabin filter sits in a slot behind the glove box or under the dash; removing the glove box or trim access panel reveals the rectangular cabin element. Coggin Nissan at the Avenues inspects the filter for pollen, dust, and mold and replaces it with a genuine Nissan element when needed.

• Accessed from behind the glove box or lower dash panel
• Checks include filter condition and HVAC drain path
• Replacement improves airflow and reduces odors

The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 3.5L V6, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the vehicle HVAC system for occupants.

The engine filter prevents dirt and debris from reaching the throttle body, MAF sensor, and cylinders, protecting performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and particulates to protect passengers and HVAC components; both are different sizes and have different material media suited to their purpose.

• Engine filter protects the intake tract and engine sensors
• Cabin filter protects HVAC system and passenger air quality
• Both should be inspected regularly for best results

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty smells for a clogged cabin filter.

If you notice sluggish acceleration or a decrease in highway fuel economy in your 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, the engine intake filter may be restricted; similarly, reduced fan output or odors when the A/C runs points to the cabin filter. Our service team inspects both filters and the MAF/intake for deposits during a visit.

• Engine: reduced power, poor throttle response, lower mpg
• Cabin: weak airflow, unusual HVAC odors, increased dust in cabin
• Technician inspects MAF and intake for related issues

The engine air filter on a 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is often a DIY-friendly replacement; the cabin air filter may require glove box or trim removal and is commonly handled by a technician.

DIY replacement of the engine filter is possible if you are comfortable opening the intake housing and reinstalling clips securely. The cabin filter behind the glove box can be trickier due to trim removal and proper sealing. Coggin Nissan provides OEM-spec parts and inspects intake and MAF components during service.

• Engine filter: typically accessible and replaceable with basic tools
