Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2014 Ford Focus ST is essential for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the turbocharged 2.0L inline engine, protecting components like the turbocharger and mass airflow sensor; a clogged engine filter can reduce horsepower, increase fuel use, and strain engine systems. The cabin air filter, by contrast, filters pollen, dust, and road odors before they enter the passenger compartment, directly affecting air quality and HVAC performance. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service so you get a comprehensive report on what’s needed. Using OEM filters preserves factory specifications and warranty coverage; any warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
