Gather Necessary Tools and Parts

 

  • A new engine air filter (Ensure it is compatible with the 2017 Nissan Rogue)
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • Gloves (optional, for keeping hands clean)

 

Park and Secure the Vehicle

 

  • Park the Nissan Rogue on a flat surface and turn off the engine.
  • Engage the parking brake for added safety.
  • Open the hood by pulling the hood release lever inside the vehicle, usually located on the driver’s side near the floor.

 

Locate the Air Filter Housing

 

  • Stand in front of the vehicle and look at the engine bay.
  • The air filter housing is typically a black plastic box situated near the front of the engine compartment.

 

Remove the Air Filter Housing Cover

 

  • Identify the clips or screws securing the air filter housing cover. In most models, there are usually a few clips to unfasten.
  • Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the clips. If screws are present, use the screwdriver to remove them carefully.

 

Extract the Old Air Filter

 

  • Once the cover is loose, lift it to reveal the old air filter.
  • Carefully remove the old air filter from the housing. Note the orientation of the filter as you remove it, as the new filter will need to be installed the same way.

 

Inspect the Air Filter Housing

 

  • Before inserting the new air filter, inspect the air filter housing for any debris or dirt. Clean out any visible debris using a clean cloth or by gently tapping the housing to remove loose particles.

 

Install the New Air Filter

 

  • Place the new air filter into the housing, ensuring it is oriented correctly. It should fit snugly into place.

 

Secure the Air Filter Housing Cover

 

  • Lower the air filter housing cover back into its original position.
  • Reattach the clips by pressing them down or reinsert and tighten any screws that were removed earlier.

 

Close the Hood

 

  • Ensure the air filter housing cover is securely in place.
  • Close the hood of the vehicle and make sure it is latched properly.

 

Dispose of the Old Air Filter

 

  • Dispose of the old air filter in accordance with local disposal regulations, as it may be considered hazardous waste.

 

Test Drive

 

  • Start the engine and take the car for a brief test drive to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

 

Following these detailed steps will help ensure the engine air filter on your 2017 Nissan Rogue is replaced correctly.
