The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

Both filters are serviceable items but perform distinct jobs. The engine filter helps preserve performance and fuel economy; the cabin filter improves interior air quality and HVAC efficiency. Replacing each on time supports dependable operation in demanding MetroWest routes.

• Engine filter: safeguards combustion air and MAF sensor from debris
• Cabin filter: reduces dust, pollen, and odors in the interior air
• OEM-spec filters maintain proper fit and sealing surfaces

Typical signs are reduced power, lower fuel economy, and rough idle for the engine, and weak airflow or musty odors for the cabin.
