Thanks man, finally a great quality video on air filter replacement on an Infiniti Q50

Thanks, that was super helpful! Beats paying over $300 at the dealer.

Straight to the point, thanks for the video!

Thanks! Didn’t know I needed 2 intake filters

Thank you for making this video, very very helpful. I could not get my glove box all the way down because the tab on the right side is so long I was afraid I was going to break it off but with a few cuts and scrapes I was able to change the cabin filter without taking the glove box all the way down anyway.

Thanks bro , I replace mine’s yesterday! Along with the maf sensor !

You should have more likes and views your vids are great keep up the good work

Thank you. I got an oil change today and the dealership wanted 90 bucks just for the two air filters. I did all three for under 40 bucks.

I just sprayed my cabin filter with Chemical Guys Stripper scent a couple monthes ago and everytime I turn on the AC/recirc, I get a fresh blast of the scent, a top tip of the day.

this new Fram interior filter so far is great, they get trashed quickly with all the construction every day in NY, you see the filters they do not last long

Thank you for this video helped me so much

Awesome vid bro

Nice and easy! Well thought by the Infiniti/Nissan engineers :)

Man, are you kidding? The fucking filter on the passenger side unbelievably hard to change cause you don’t have any fucking room there. They should’ve make it much easier

Just swapped my out last week 👌👌👌

thanks, what a pain to get the bottoms to clip in, i broke 1 on each side... hope thats not an issue

Do these parts work for a 2020 Infiniti Q50 Base model?

You didn’t connect back the shock piece and now your glove box is going to come down really fast

Hey AF - Have you tried your wheel cleaner in the smaller IK foamer? The wheel cleaner looks great, but I would rather use something smaller than the IK9.

every small foamer i tested sucks, too much more pumping 100 times or more to do all 4 wheels and it does not foam as well as the IK9.

Getting the air hose back on the air boxes are difficult especially the one on the right handside because the tabs are angled towards the rear instead of straight down. I find it much easier just to take off the radiator covering (which also covers the intake side of the air boxes towards you) by removing a six or seven plastic clips, and take off the air box on the right handside by removing two bolts (10mm socket wrench). Then lining up the tabs becomes a piece of cake. Bought two factory filters from a Nissan dealership for $50, I figured since air filters are only changed once every 5 years (we drive about 6k miles a year), how much are you really saving by going aftermarket? $35 over 5 year, or $7/year?

I was gonna ask about the K&N panel filters. Any bad thoughts on them? Was actually going to purchase one soon.

I put i a k+ n filter on my honda ridge line what a difference .

Yup the part store will keep typing QX50 (Truck) in stead of Q50.... I had to go back inside the store 3 times for they got it right.

I swear q60/q50 are a pain in the ass to work with.

It's too bad you are not keeping the q50 for any longer. Any pointers on the VR30 reliability? I am looking into a used q50 red-sport or 3.0t thanks!

HELP, I cant get the glove box back into my Q70, 2016...stopped the guy doing my oil change , fear of him breaking something so i said just leave...is there a trick to reinstall? never! nor do i care about cabin filter, so just want my glove box back in, is there a trick? thanks,if you have time to help me/my husband

on my 2016 3.0t there is no way i can change the passenger side intake filter without some disassembly

Amazon states the cabin filter doesn’t fit my 2018 Q50 3.0t Luxe. Also Frams website states for 2014-2017. Can you recommend any other cabin filter similar to the one you demonstrated.

it def fits we got our filters locally and the same thing for us Amazon said it did not fit. I highly doubt they have different filters for the different engines that would be silly on Nissan to do that on a mass produced car. the air box filter for the engine of course will vary based one engine size

Correct air flow down

At least Infiniti (NIssan) made it easier to change the cabin filter on the Q50's. It's a real pain in the butt on my 370z. You have to completely disassemble and remove the entire glovebox assembly to get to the cabin filter door. I don't know what the heck Nissan was thinking when they designed that! And if you take it to the dealer, they want $75 to do it. No thanks. I'll do it myself. I was surprised to see your car was a little bit dirty. I know have fanatical (a little pun intended) you are about keeping your vehicles as clean as possible. Must have been your daily driver at the time. My daily is the same way. Clean, but nothing like I keep my 370z. Thanks for the information.

Why does the right side air filter still show the orange part of the filter? Did it not go all the way in and cover the whole filter? The left side is flush. It’s like that for me as well.

I’ve used K&N for years, never an issue, don’t soak the filter, let it sit for a while after applying oil to filter before installing/using.

For my 3.7L it is not sure about the TT (3.0 twin turbo)

To change the engine air filter just remove the guards 10mm socket its not that hard. Also use a 10mm to unbolt one side of the filter box for more play

after market air filter makes mass air flow dirty. fibers get loose from air filter and stick on MAF sensor and all kind of driveability issues. nissan is known for this problem.

I just looked up that cabin filter model for my car. It says that isn't the correct one. I mean Im sure at this point it doesn't matter but just saying

there are also 2 clips at the bottom of the casing u need to clip in before putting the new filter in or else it doesn't properly close. almost impossible to get those in after u put the new filter in

Never use Fram air filter in the Q50. It doesn’t fit in the air cleaner box and will break the bracket. You could see the red gasket in the video even after closing the box. It means the box wasn’t closed. DO NOT use fram air filter.

False, if you notice the oem ones have a black trim and you can see it too if you look closely just doesn’t stand out like the aftermarket ones with a black trim do

Hmm on my 2011 3 series BMW we do it (air filter) every 40K miles. When I removed it the last time, the shop said it was not that dirty, but since they were at it, they did it. After watching your videos on that Q50, I would stay away from the Nissan/Infiniti cars.
