Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2024 Volkswagen Atlas is essential for safety, comfort, and longevity. The engine air filter protects the 2.0L inline 4 from abrasive particles that can accelerate wear and reduce the engine’s ability to make its rated 269 horsepower; a clean filter helps the engine breathe efficiently, maintains throttle response, and supports highway fuel economy near the EPA 27 MPG rating. The cabin air filter, by contrast, protects occupants from pollen, dust, and road pollutants—especially important for families or allergy sufferers riding in Lakewood and across the Denver metro area. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood we inspect both filters during routine service and recommend replacements based on condition and driving conditions. Using OEM parts and factory-recommended procedures preserves warranty coverage and the Atlas’ long-term value. To protect performance and comfort, schedule appointment with our certified technicians; we also offer transparent pricing, service specials, and service financing to make maintenance convenient and affordable.
