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

• The engine air filter protects the powertrain by removing particles from incoming air to the engine; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.
• Both are essential: engine filters maintain performance and longevity; cabin filters protect occupants from pollen, dust, and pollutants.
• Our certified technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque use OEM parts and transparent pricing; covered warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, unusual engine noises, or strong HVAC odors can indicate a clogged filter.
