- Check the filter housings for debris and proper sealing.
ENGINE & CABIN AIR
Air Filters
Clean air helps the engine breathe and the cabin stay comfortable.
Most vehicles use an engine air filter, and many also use a cabin air filter. Both collect dirt and debris before it reaches places you do not want it.

Signs You May Need It
- Reduced airflow from the vents.
- Dusty or musty smell inside the cabin.
- Visible dirt or heavy debris in the filter.
- Reduced engine response or efficiency from a severely restricted engine filter.
- Filter replacement is overdue.
Why It Matters
- The engine needs enough clean air to produce power efficiently, especially when accelerating. The filter keeps abrasive dirt out of the intake while allowing that airflow.
- The cabin filter helps keep dust, pollen, and debris out of the HVAC airflow.
- Proper airflow helps the engine and HVAC system work as designed.
What Can Happen If You Ignore It
- A badly restricted engine filter can reduce the air available under load, which may reduce engine power and throttle response and contribute to poorer fuel economy.
- A clogged cabin filter can reduce heater and A/C airflow.
- Debris and moisture buildup can contribute to odors and poor cabin comfort.
