Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between engine and cabin air filters helps you prioritize maintenance on your 2026 Subaru WRX. The engine air filter protects engine internals and intake airflow, directly affecting horsepower, throttle response, and fuel economy—vital attributes for a performance-focused sedan. The cabin filter protects occupants from allergens and road pollutants and supports HVAC efficiency. Both filters are relatively low-cost investments that prevent costly downstream problems: a clogged engine filter forces the engine to work harder and can accelerate component wear, while a neglected cabin filter can lead to diminished HVAC performance and increased allergen exposure. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters, use OEM parts, and explain why combined maintenance saves money over time.
