Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2026 Subaru BRZ uses two distinct filters that serve very different purposes: the engine air filter keeps contaminants out of the intake to protect performance and economy, while the cabin air filter improves interior air quality for passengers. Maintaining both is essential — a clogged engine filter can reduce power and increase fuel use, and a dirty cabin filter can let pollen, dust, and odors into the passenger compartment. At Mike Shaw Subaru in Denver, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both during routine service visits, provide clear documentation, and recommend OEM replacements when needed. We explain immediate benefits (restored throttle response, cleaner cabin air) and long-term savings (reduced engine wear, avoided HVAC repairs). We back our work with dealership-grade quality, and we emphasize that warranty-covered repairs should be completed at certified dealerships to preserve coverage. Ready to protect your BRZ?
