2018 nissan murano for sale kirkland bellevue tacoma washingtonHey Patrick,

Every time I take my Nissan Murano to get its oil changed, I end up paying double because they say I need a new air filter. Is this something I can do myself and save money?

-Deena

Hi Deena,

Classic problem! We have all gone to a quickie lube change joint and ended up spending a ton more than we planned. The good news is that you are on the right track. The filter is an easy way to save cash and even simpler to replace yourself.

1. Buy a filter that is made just for your car. Ask the pros at your auto parts store for help.

2. Locate the housing under the hood. Usually, it’s a black plastic dome with a hose sticking out the side.

3. Unclasp the hinges that keep this lid on tight and pull it off.

4. Bingo! You’ve found it. Simply pop it out and put a fresh one in. Put everything back the way it was. Easy!

This entire operation should take only a few minutes and cost less than $20.

Good luck with your Murano. Let me know if there are any other questions I can solve!
