Where is the air filter located and How to replace it in Nissan Sentra?

The air filter is mounted inside the air filter housing on the left-hand side close to the front part of the vehicle, precisely in the engine compartment. In case of 2.0L models, unclinch two locking clips of the top cover; draw out the air filter holder from the housing; and take out the filter from the holder. In 2.5L models, unsnap it by turning the two tabs to retract the spring clips securing the two halves of the housing, pull the halves apart and pull out the filter. Check the outer skin of the filter element; if it is dirty they should be replaced, but if it is only dusty in moderate amount, the skin can be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the back to the front. Since it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled; when it cannot be cleaned adequately, it must be replaced. As the cover is removed do not put anything into the housing. Never take the air filter out while the car or truck is in operation because the engine will be exposed to high amounts of dirt and the vehicle is prone to bursting into flames. Clean the interior of the air filter housing after that, fix the new filter in the holder or the housing properly. Slide the filter holder into the housing till it fits and click the clips; for 2.5L models put the halves of the housing back and snap the clips.

Nissan Sentra Air Filter

Nissan Sentra Air Filter serves to prevent dirt, dust, sand, leaves, and other debris from entering the engine's intake system. Housed in a sealed housing connected to the throttle body, the Air Filter blocks particles as small as five microns and larger to prevent abrasive debris from scouring internal parts and help keep combustion smooth. Airflow is very critical in an engine since an engine can draw about 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of gasoline. However, when there is a buildup on the filter element surface, there will be limitations in the passage of air. This limitation can cause a reduction in performance and fuel economy. The Air Filter is easily replaceable at regular intervals, thanks to the readily removable housing by clips or screws, allowing you to conveniently replace the Air Filter for continuous protection. The shape of the filter can vary with vehicle use; in this case, the Nissan application typically uses a flat panel element that seals against the housing so that all intake air is forced through the filtration media. In the opinion, this maintains the efficiency it would expect from a Nissan Sentra. Frequent replacement of the Air Filter of Nissan Sentra ensures steady acceleration. Having a clean Air Filter allows the Sentra to idle smoothly.
