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

• The engine air filter protects the engine intake and performance; the cabin air filter protects passengers by filtering pollen, dust, and pollutants from the HVAC system.
• Both filters affect comfort and longevity — a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC efficiency and air quality, while a dirty engine filter can hurt fuel economy and engine life.
• Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper inspect and replace both with OEM parts, ensuring proper fit and maintaining warranty coverage.
• We recommend combining inspections to save time and money; view our service specials and schedule service online for convenient appointment options.
