Infiniti recommends replacing the Cabin Micro Filter every oil change. I try to replace it every 10,000 Miles because of the area I live in. If you can change the intake air filter, you can change the cabin filter. Make sure you have regular tools handy.

When installing a new microfilter make sure of the following:
• The filter is installed so that the arrow, on the end of the filter, is facing the rear of the vehicle and is pointed upward.
• The microfilter sits on top of the two black plastic tabs, not behind them.
• The ledge on the back side of the microfilter cover panel slides below the microfilter.
NOTE: If the microfilter is improperly installed, the ledge on the back side of the microfilter cover panel pushes directly into the microfilter, causing distortion. A distorted microfilter may interfere with the recirculation door.
