Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in a 2023 Ford Mustang is clear: one protects the heart of the vehicle and the other protects the people inside. The engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the intake system so the 2.3L engine breathes clean air, sustaining the Mustang’s 310 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and preserving fuel economy. The cabin air filter prevents pollen, dust, and road contaminants from entering the passenger compartment, ensuring a healthy, comfortable ride for drivers and passengers. Maintaining both filters preserves performance, reduces wear, and improves long-term ownership costs. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our certified technicians inspect both filters as part of routine service. We use OEM parts, document service history, and explain how timely replacements avoid future repairs.
