Cripes. I'm at 40,000 this week. I should remember. But it still smells like new! I DID clean my K&N air filter and cleaned my MAF. Priorities I suppose!

Is this for both AC and Heat? I would assume so, but just want to verify.

the fram fresh breeze with arm & hammer baking soda filter
CF10140 fits perfect and is much better than the stock one.

Ugh! I knew I should have done it sooner.

The replacement was cheap, but had an extra piece of plastic, large, that was where the OEM snap cover went. OH well, better than it used to be, sealed up ok.

Make sure and save the OEM cover.

Yep, already did. The glovebox is a handy place to keep it.

I thought those pictures looked just like what is a Nissan. I just replaced the CA in my Murano and the blower and everything look the same.
