Engine & cabin air filters

Two filters. Two different jobs.

Call to schedule

What’s included

The engine air filter helps keep contaminants out of the engine’s intake. The cabin air filter cleans incoming ventilation air. Their condition and replacement schedules differ. A dirty cabin filter can restrict airflow, while an engine filter should be evaluated against its condition and maintenance guidance.

Identify the filter
Confirm whether the concern relates to engine intake air or cabin ventilation.
Inspect condition
Check for debris and compare the replacement interval with your maintenance history.
Confirm fit
Use the filter specification and installation procedure appropriate for the vehicle.

How it works

Engine and cabin filters work in different systems. Review their condition and maintenance requirements so the right filter is replaced for the right reason.

Step 1: Open the housing
The engine air filter housing is opened to see the filter.
Step 2: Compare old and new
The engine filter comes out so you can see its condition next to a new one.
Step 3: The cabin filter, separately
The cabin filter sits elsewhere, often behind the glove box, and has its own estimate.
