Wanted to change the air filter in my 2017 Titan this weekend, but to my surprise, they are extremely hard to find. The dealer has one, but I cannot find it anywhere online, except for a K&N. any thoughts? My thoughts was that it might be still new.

Your truck is still very new, I couldn't imagine that you need to change the filter. Are you trying to do it at a set interval or something? I change mine every 10k, way more than necessary, but its my preference, so I understand...

No auto parts stores? Really?

I'm at 11,000 miles now, wanted to do it every 10,000

Yea, i just checked autozone to verify...no dice. just a jank k&n pod filter thing. It is a panel filter right? just a flat filter?

 

[billywtrs]

Yeh, I believe so

I couldn't imagine they would be that much different from OE first gens. I guess the new radical design changes required Nissan to change the airbox and filter design as well. What about 2016 model air filters. Will those fit?

every 10k miles is a bit ambitious but to each their own ... I'd just take this op to upgrade to the K&N one and its a lifetime filter

Not sure, didn't ask the dealer

same here. dealer only right now. the 16 and 17 gas is the same engine so same filter. I wasn't planning on changing it but after I took the cover off and looked at it, it was pretty dirty! 12000 miles of dust i guess!

I went with a full K&N cold air intake. Took about an hour to complete the install. I also have a Magnaflow 18in exhaust...the whole thing sounds MEAN AS HELL now when you mash the throttle! And not having to change the filter as often is an added bonus! I recommend to everyone...

K&N Sells the Drop in Filter...

I would be weary of the drop-in filter as one reviewer specifically stated it does NOT fit 2017 gas non-XD, this is why I went with the full cold air intake

Be careful that you get the proper sized filter from the dealership. I phoned my dealer to see if they had the air filter and they said "Yes - we have one" so I told them to hold it as I would be right down. To my surprise when I opened the box and looked at it, I thought to myself "This isn't going to fit" - sure enough it didn't fit. Luckily I was still at the dealer so I went back to parts (taking my old filter with me) and showed them the two filters and how much larger the filter that they gave me was compared to my old one. The parts guy said that when I had phoned, they put in my vehicle's VIN and this was what it showed. So when he looked again, apparently there are two different air filters for 2017 Titan and so they had to special order the right filter. Finally got the right filter - Did Nissan change the filter between my truck (09/16 build) and now ???

Truth--- it's basically the same air filter with an extra sliver piece on it to fit the new Air Box style

K&N doesn't make a filter for the NON XD yet. When you do the vehicle selection on the K&N site, it brings you to this filter but TRUST ME, it DOES NOT FIT THE NON XD. I bought it and had to return it. They do sell the Cold Air intake which is what I went with, and let me tell you!! It is Bad A$$!! Sounds awesome and makes the whole truck come to life.

Glad I didnt have to purchase and return, thanks to someone else who reviewed it before I pulled the trigger. I also have the CAI paired with a Magnaflow 18in muffler and you are exactly right, it sounds INSANE now!

The filter shown in the link that you provided WILL NOT FIT MY 2017 TITAN. The filter in my Titan doesn't have the 90 degree corners on all four corners.

Just looked at it again in the link & it has 1 odd corner & different model # from the XD in a previous post. Also compared to my air filter & it looks the same.

You're correct the K&N filter does have the one odd corner. I've also uploaded a picture of the air filter that I got from the dealership. The only difference that I can see is that the OEM filter has a sort of knob (lack of a better word) protruding from the casing just before the odd corner. I'm not sure what purpose it serves (if any) - I'll have to go and check my truck out to see if it does serve any sort of purpose. Also, what's the build date of your Titan - mine is 09/16
