Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2026 Nissan Sentra is key to preserving performance and comfort. The engine air filter keeps contaminants out of the engine’s intake, protecting sensors, valves, and cylinders—this directly affects fuel economy and longevity. The cabin air filter, by contrast, cleans incoming air for occupants, improving HVAC performance and interior air quality. Both filters serve distinct functions and should be inspected regularly; neglecting either can lead to higher fuel costs, reduced power, clogged HVAC systems, and unnecessary repairs. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa we inspect both filters during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and document the benefits so you understand the value.
