What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine and optimizes combustion; the cabin air filter protects passengers by filtering pollen, dust, and pollutants from the HVAC system.
• Both filters affect comfort and efficiency — a dirty cabin filter reduces airflow and A/C performance, while a clogged engine filter reduces power and fuel economy.
• Our dealership uses OEM parts and documents any replacement so your vehicle history and warranty remain intact. If a repair is warranty-covered, it must be completed at a certified dealership.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, unusual engine noises, or rough idle can indicate a clogged engine air filter.
• For cabin filters: weak airflow from vents, unpleasant odors, or increased dust inside the cabin are common signs.
