The engine air filter protects the V6’s intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

Both filters do vital but separate jobs. The engine filter helps maintain throttle response, fuel economy, and emissions; the cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC efficiency. In New England, spring pollen and winter road debris can load both more quickly—check them during routine visits in Danvers.
