Steps
Buy the correct cabin air filter for your 2013-2019 Sentra and check it matches the old one before you start.
Put on gloves and safety glasses. Park on a flat surface and turn the engine off.
Open the glovebox and empty it so nothing falls out while you work.
Push in the sides of the glovebox so it drops past the stops and hangs down out of the way.
Find the rectangular filter housing behind the glovebox and release its cover clip or tab.
Pull the old filter straight out and note which way the airflow arrow points.
Slide the new filter in with the arrow pointing the same way as the old one.
Clip the housing cover back on, then lift the glovebox back into place and close it.
Run the fan on high and check that air flows well and no odd smells remain.
Tips and common mistakes
Check the filter at every oil change, or sooner if you notice strange odors from the vents.
If the old filter is very dirty, vacuum the housing before fitting the new one.
Write the date on the new filter so you know when to replace it next.
Questions
How often should I change the cabin air filter?
Check it at every oil change and replace it when it looks dirty or the vents smell. Most drivers change it once a year.
Does the airflow arrow matter?
Yes. Fit the new filter with the arrow pointing the same way as the old one so air passes through correctly.
Do I need any special tools?
No. The job is done by hand, though gloves and safety glasses are recommended.
