How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2025 Subaru Legacy?

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

• The engine air filter protects engine internals and ensures proper combustion; the cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and pollutants.

• Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley installs OEM filters and documents changes for transparency and warranty adherence; ask about our service specials and financing options when you schedule appointment.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Engine air filter signs: reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy than the rated 27 city / 35 highway MPG, unusual engine sounds, or illuminated check-engine light.
