Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is key to complete vehicle care for your 2016 Nissan Sentra. The engine air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the intake system, protecting critical components and preserving fuel economy and horsepower. The cabin air filter, by contrast, filters incoming cabin air for passengers and helps the climate control operate efficiently. Both filters play complementary roles: one protects mechanical health and performance, the other protects comfort and interior air quality. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa our technicians inspect both during routine service visits, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and document the condition for your review. Performing both replacements on schedule offers immediate benefits — smoother performance and cleaner air — and long-term savings by reducing wear and preventing costly engine or HVAC repairs. We back work with dealership warranties and offer service financing and transparent pricing. To protect both the engine and the cabin environment, schedule appointment online today or check our service specials.
