Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Though they both carry “air filter” in the name, the engine air filter and cabin air filter serve different roles on a 2024 Subaru Ascent. The engine air filter traps particulates before they enter the intake, preserving turbocharger and engine life while maintaining horsepower and fuel economy.

Both need scheduled attention: a restricted engine filter can cost you fuel and performance, while a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC output and interior comfort. At Mike Shaw Subaru, we inspect both filters during service visits, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and document work to protect warranty validity and resale value. Our certified technicians complete replacements quickly, and we emphasize the immediate and long-term savings from proper maintenance. Ready to keep both systems in peak condition?
