- Holds the engine air filter in place and protects it from damage
- Also houses the intake air temperature and mass airflow sensors
- Only needs to be replaced when damaged
One of your vehicle's many air filters is the engine air filter, which helps prevent dust, pollen, and other forms of contamination from getting inside your engine. By catching any contaminants before they make it into your Nissan engine the filter preserves a clean air-to-fuel mixture, which ultimately allows your Nissan to run more efficiently.
The air filter is located inside an Air Filter Housing, also called an air box or air filter box, which secures and protects it from heat- or impact-related wear. Additionally, the Air Filter Housing also harbors the intake air temperature (IAT) and mass airflow sensors in most fuel-run vehicles.
In contrast to the air filter, the air box doesn’t require regular replacement. Rather, your Nissan Air Filter Housing should be replaced when necessary — if it’s worn, loose, or otherwise compromised.
A couple of signs that you need a replacement Air Filter Housing include loud idling, decreased fuel efficiency, engine stalling, and a check engine light. If left unchecked, a malfunctioning Air Filter Housing can compromise internal components, such as the filter and sensors, to become damaged as well, ultimately leading to more expensive repairs!
Help prevent a faulty Air Filter Housing from turning into a significant inconvenience by inspecting it thoroughly following collisions or rough drives. If you notice cracks, nicks, or wear on your Air Filter Housing, get a new one installed at a Nissan service center near you to ensure all the sensors and components housed within the box are correctly re-installed. Also, always choose Air Filter Housing parts over universal components, which may fall short in terms of fitment and reliability.
