Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is important for maintaining your 2024 Subaru Forester. The engine air filter protects the intake and combustion system—preventing dust and debris from entering the engine, keeping fuel economy steady, and preserving horsepower and torque. The cabin air filter protects occupants by removing pollen, dust, and soot before it reaches the passenger compartment. Both filters are small components with a big impact: neglected engine filters can reduce performance and increase wear, while a clogged cabin filter affects air quality and HVAC efficiency. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley, our technicians inspect both filters during service visits and recommend OEM replacements when needed. We emphasize honest, clear pricing, quick turnaround, and the long-term savings of proper maintenance. Warranties that cover parts or labor require certified-dealership repair, and we provide documentation and care to protect your coverage. Ready to maintain comfort and performance?
