Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and cabin air filter for a 2017 Nissan Maxima helps you prioritize maintenance that protects both performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter prevents abrasive particles from entering the 3.5L V6, preserving horsepower, torque, and fuel economy; a clogged engine filter can cause reduced acceleration and increased fuel consumption. The cabin air filter, by contrast, screens the air moving into the passenger compartment—replacing it improves interior air quality and HVAC efficiency. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, our certified technicians explain the condition and role of each filter during service and recommend OEM replacements when appropriate. Maintaining both filters on schedule prevents costly downstream repairs, supports peak engine operation, and ensures a healthier cabin environment. For convenience, we combine inspections and replacements in a single service visit, offer transparent estimates, and provide service financing so you can address maintenance immediately and spread payments over time. To protect your Maxima and comfort, schedule service or check our service specials before you arrive.
