Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter matters for both performance and comfort in your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. The engine air filter prevents abrasive particles from entering the turbocharged 2.0L inline engine, maintaining horsepower, torque, and fuel economy while protecting the turbocharger and intake components from premature wear. The cabin air filter, meanwhile, protects your passengers and the HVAC system from pollen, dust, and road pollutants—improving interior air quality and the efficiency of the climate control system. Maintaining both filters at the intervals recommended by certified technicians maximizes vehicle longevity and reduces the chance of costly repairs down the road. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine service, use OEM replacement parts, document the work, and provide clear recommendations. To keep your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas running and breathing clean, schedule service or review our service specials for current offers.
