Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2017 Nissan Armada helps you prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects mechanical components and keeps airflow consistent to preserve power and torque; neglecting it can reduce performance and fuel efficiency. The cabin air filter protects interior comfort and occupant health by trapping pollen, dust and odors; a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC effectiveness and can create unpleasant smells. Both filters are inexpensive preventive items compared with the cost of repair from contaminated sensors or reduced HVAC lifespan. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, we inspect both filters during routine service, provide clear recommendations, and install OEM parts with certified workmanship backed by dealer warranty.
