What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine and improves combustion; the cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and allergens inside the vehicle.
• Both filters affect comfort and efficiency: a clogged engine filter reduces fuel economy, while a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC airflow and air quality.
• Our service team at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood inspects both and uses OEM parts to ensure fit, function, and warranty integrity.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, unusual engine noises, or rough idling can indicate a dirty engine air filter.
• Musty smells, weak HVAC airflow, or increased dust in the cabin usually mean the cabin filter needs replacement.
• Schedule a quick inspection at our Lakewood, CO service center to catch issues early — and ask about our service specials and financing options.
