Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps you prioritize maintenance for your 2011 Ford Focus. The engine air filter protects the 2.0L inline-4 from contaminants that reduce power and fuel economy, while the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from allergens and debris. Both filters are simple to inspect but can have big effects: a clogged engine filter reduces horsepower and increases fuel burn, and a clogged cabin filter reduces airflow and can lead to HVAC odors. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, our certified technicians explain the condition of each filter, recommend OEM replacements when necessary, and outline the immediate and long-term savings of timely service. We make scheduling convenient — you can schedule appointment online — and offer financing options so you can address needed maintenance without delay.
