Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2010 Subaru Impreza needs both an engine air filter and a cabin air filter to perform at its best. The engine air filter keeps contaminants out of the intake, protecting the 2.5L flat-four and helping preserve horsepower and fuel economy.

At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters as part of routine service, explaining the differences and recommending OEM replacements when appropriate. We prioritize transparency, show you the removed parts, and explain immediate and long-term savings from timely replacements.
