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

• The engine air filter protects engine internals and performance; the cabin air filter cleans air that enters the passenger compartment for comfort and health.
• Both filters wear differently—engine filters trap larger particulates for combustion, while cabin filters trap pollen, dust, and odors for air quality.
• Replacing both on schedule avoids power loss, reduces HVAC strain, and improves in-cabin comfort—benefits our certified technicians prioritize at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood.
• To maintain both systems properly and take advantage of our transparent pricing and OEM parts, schedule service or review our service specials.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, unusual engine sounds, or a dusty intake are indicators for the engine air filter.
• For cabin filters: reduced airflow from vents, unpleasant odors, or increased dust inside the vehicle signal replacement is needed.
• Our technicians provide fast diagnostics and will explain results clearly, helping you weigh immediate repairs versus scheduled maintenance.
