Owners of other Nissan, Infiniti or related Renault vehicles such as the Rogue, X-Trail, Note, Versa, Rogue Sport / Qashqai, Maxima, Sentra, Juke, Kicks, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier, Titan, Quest, NV200, Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement cabin air filters with their part numbers are as follows: K&N VF2076, Beck/Arnley 0422256 and TYC 800226C.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a Phillips head screwdriver and a plastic pry bar tool.

The first step is to locate the two screws at the bottom edge of the glove box.

Remove the two screws by turning them in the counterclockwise direction with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Loosen the three screws by turning them in the counterclockwise direction.

Move to the outside edge of the dashboard.

Gently pry off the outer trim cover with a plastic pry bar tool.

Set the dashboard side panel aside in a safe place.

You'll still need to disconnect the electrical connector for the glove box light bulb.

Push in the release tab on the small white power plug and slide it straight out of its socket.

Locate the release tab for the retaining clip on the right side of the white plastic filter cover.

Push in the release tab and swing open the right side of the filter cover.

Set the filter access cover aside in safe place.

Inspect both sides of the old filter.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cabin air filter in this 2020 Altima was a Mann Filter part number CUK 22 034 or 27277 6CA1A (also known as CUK22034 or 272776CA1A).

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

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

The compatible replacement part numbers are as follows: K&N VF2076, Beck/Arnley 0422256 and TYC 800226C.

Orientate the "Air Flow" arrow on the new air filter with the arrow pointing down towards the floor mat.

Slide the new filter into the slot.

Swing the right side of the filter cover closed.

You should feel or hear the clip "click" securely into place.

Raise the glove box close to the dashboard. Plug in the power plug for the glove box light bulb.

Line up the metal friction fasteners on the back side of the glove box with their corresponding slots in the dashboard.

Make sure the glove box is flush with the dashboard at every edge.

Line up the trim cover on the side of the dashboard.

Replace the two screws at the bottom edge of the glove box by turning them in the clockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Replace the contents of the glove box and close it to complete the job.

Be sure to write down the filter change in your vehicle's service records.

According to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual, the service interval for changing the cabin air filter is every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or at least every 18 months.
