The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 3.6L V6, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

The engine air filter protects the engine and fuel/air metering; a blocked engine filter can reduce power and fuel economy. The cabin filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and road dust and affects HVAC airflow and odor. Both are separate components and are replaced independently during routine service.

• Engine filter: protects engine, located in engine bay air box.
• Cabin filter: protects passengers, filters HVAC intake (usually behind glovebox).
• Replacement schedules and symptoms differ for each filter type.

Common signs include reduced engine power and lower fuel economy from a clogged engine filter and weak HVAC airflow or musty smells from a clogged cabin filter.

Dusty roads, seasonal pollen, and frequent short trips in and around Albuquerque increase filter loading on the 3.6L V6.

We recommend inspection at routine oil changes to catch heavy contamination early.

• Check the engine air filter visually at every oil change.
• Inspect earlier if you drive on dusty or unpaved roads often.
• Replace sooner when filter material appears dark and packed with debris.
