Reasons to change your air filter
You should change the cabin air filter of your 2018 Nissan GT-R for several reasons:
- Better engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which can damage the engine over time.
- Enhancing the air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for everyone on board.
- Prolonging the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps increase the efficiency of the system.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Nissan GT-R engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, including:
