Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on the 2024 Subaru Forester is about purpose and protection: the engine air filter preserves combustion efficiency by providing clean intake air to the 2.5L flat engine, while the cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and pollutants. Both systems are essential — a clogged engine filter reduces horsepower and fuel economy, and a dirty cabin filter diminishes HVAC performance and air quality. At Mike Shaw Subaru in CO, our technicians are factory-trained to identify which filter needs attention, explain the condition in plain language, and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. We document every service for transparency, explain warranty coverage (repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership), and outline the immediate and long-term savings of timely maintenance. With quick lanes, comfortable waiting areas, and genuine Subaru parts, our team keeps your Forester running efficiently while minimizing downtime. Ready to preserve performance and cabin comfort?
