The housing keeps the filter positioned along the engine’s intake path. During service, the filter and housing are inspected for dirt, debris, and proper fit. The cabin air filter is typically positioned behind the glove box and serves the passenger HVAC system rather than the engine.

• Engine filter: engine-bay air filter housing
• Cabin filter: typically behind the glove box

These filters protect different systems and have different replacement intervals. A restricted engine filter may affect fuel economy or throttle response, while a dirty cabin filter may contribute to weak airflow or a musty odor. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley checks both as part of air filter service.

• Engine filter: combustion air intake
• Cabin filter: passenger ventilation air
• Recommended intervals are 30,000 and 12,000 miles

A filter may also look gray or packed with debris when the housing is opened.

A technician can inspect both filters and the related intake paths at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley.
