Hi Y'all, I've wanted to change my air filter for awhile now, but never really had time to do it. Yesterday i finally got time to change the filter on my baby G. I got some pictures.

Also, I am about to reach 40k miles and I was wondering what would be the proper maintenance to do?

 

Change your transmission and differential oil if you haven't already...changed mine at about 32k and it shifts much better now (at 40k) 6MT by the way

 

I gotta check mine when I get some spare time! Was it hard accessing it?! I really don't want to do the 30k service because it's pricy!

 

It was the first time changing my cabin filter, i am not going to lie it took me awhile to figure it out. I am not really great with the tools either but i just followed the tutorial in the DIY section and I managed to pull through. I found out theres two ways of doing it, one is using a extended screw driver to take the whole console down, and the second is to take the front cover of the console down then take the back part down. Personally i think the second method is a little easier as my screw driver wasnt long enough. Once figured out it takes minutes to get to the filter. How much is the transmission and differential oil change?

 

Holy ****! That filter was filthy.

 

I did my cabin filter today along with a little treatment. Already did the Differential and that was extremely easy, maybe even easier than an oil change. The 6mt transmission is similar and very easy and cheap to do. I plan to tackle the transmission fluid in 1 month with couple other local members.

My filter was nasty looking and worse than what is pictured. I was glad to have that taken care of and have the car back to factory fresh smell. The cost of the filter was $19.99 and took about 30 mins time to do in the dark using a light and netbook for instruction.

thanks

I am not about to spend money on a filter when you can take a nice powerful vacuum and suck all that dirt off. I did that twice already. Save me some money if i can.

 

This was the in cabin filter behind the glove box.

Is it the same filter for an 03 sedan?

 

I dont know if its the same
but this will help

 

How often should you change this?

I have driven my car 5k miles since i bought it..should i change it?

 

change every 12-15k according to infiniti. I change mine every 20k cause of laziness else would do 12k.

 

side note,, i have those exact same convex mirrors,,, and i must say they are very valuable when in tight or heavy traffic, for the blind spots,,

 

those filters had emphysema
approaching 28k miles, going to do it soon, hope it only takes me 30min or so.

 

Is it ur first time? I am sure once u've done it the next time will take like 10 mins
