I searched for "in cabin filter nissan" on the web.
I'm not about to pay someone $80 to change a filter. I did it myself but ended up just removing the filter without replacing it. Not worth it.
Cars have been running fine for years without in cabin filters. I don't see why they need them now. Haven't noticed any difference.

The filter actually keeps the dirt and other airborne particles from passing completely through the ventilation system. When I cleaned my stock filter last year, there was a bunch of dirt and pinenuts in between the pleats. I remember having dirt from previous cars blow into my eyes sometimes when I turned the fan on high speed. While cars have been doing fine in the past w/o filters, they are better IMHO with in cabin filters.
