This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second generation 2014, 2015, 2016 and the updated 2017 or 2018 model year Nissan Rogue SUV in cleaning or changing the engine air filter element for the QR25DE 2.5 liter inline four cylinder motor.

Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Murano, Altima, Titan, Versa, Sentra, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Juke, Pathfinder, Armada, Patrol, Skyline, Cube, X-Trail, Xterra, Qashqai, Rogue Sport, NV200, NV400, Teana, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX56, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

No tools are needed to access and replace the air filter.

The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay.

The black plastic engine air filter box is located behind the 12V automotive battery and next to the brake fluid reservoir.

Locate the two black plastic retaining clips at the middle of the air intake assembly.

Firmly squeeze together the two tabs on the top of the air intake tube to release the retaining clips.

Gently pull the center part of the air intake assembly off the air box and the ram air assembly at the front of the engine bay.

Set the air intake assembly aside in a safe place.

Old Air Filter Removed

Clean With Vacuum
Lift the old air filter straight out of the box.

Inspect both sides of the old air filter.

If the old filter is dark grey or black and clogged with dirt, dust, sand, hair, pollen, soot, twigs, insects, leaves and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element.

I recommend buying the EcoGard XA10423 engine air filter since it has great reviews on Amazon.

If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner.
