Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The engine air filter and the cabin air filter serve distinct but equally important roles on your 2018 Ford Transit Van. The engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the 3.7L V6 intake, preserving horsepower (275 hp at 6000 rpm), torque, and fuel efficiency; a clean engine filter reduces strain on the engine, helps maintain proper fuel-air ratio, and protects sensors and turbo components where equipped. The cabin air filter protects occupants from pollen, dust, and road contaminants and keeps the HVAC system operating efficiently. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our technicians inspect both filters during routine service visits and advise on replacements tailored to your driving environment—urban deliveries, highway miles, or dusty job sites. We install OEM parts to ensure proper fit and filtration, document the service for warranty records, and offer transparent pricing and financing options so you can address both filters now for immediate comfort and long-term savings. Scheduling is simple: schedule service online, check our service specials, or contact us directly to learn how timely filter care preserves value and reduces downtime.
