• We offer transparent pricing and service financing so you can address both filters now and pay over time; schedule an appointment online via our service scheduler.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• For the cabin filter, signs include reduced airflow from vents, unpleasant odors, or persistent dust and allergens in the cabin.
• At Stevinson Chevrolet we inspect filters during service, explain findings plainly, and show you the old parts for full transparency.
• To avoid bigger repairs, use our schedule service tool and review current service specials that can lower immediate and lifetime ownership costs.

What types of air filters are in a 2010 Chevrolet Impala?

• The 2010 Chevrolet Impala uses a replaceable pleated paper engine air filter and typically a disposable cabin air filter (paper or activated carbon options may be available).
• OEM filters meet Chevrolet specifications for fit and filtration; aftermarket options exist, but we recommend OEM to preserve performance and warranty coverage.
• Stevinson Chevrolet stocks OEM filters and installs them quickly with factory-trained technicians; ask about available service specials and financing options at checkout.

Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2010 Chevrolet Impala requires attention to both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter because each serves a distinct role in performance and comfort. The engine air filter ensures the 3.5L V6 receives clean intake air to maintain horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency; a clogged engine filter can reduce acceleration and increase fuel consumption. The cabin air filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and road pollutants and preserves HVAC performance. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO we inspect both filters during routine maintenance and explain exact needs in plain language. Using OEM parts and factory procedures, our certified technicians reduce the likelihood of repeat visits and extend component life. We also document service for warranty and resale value. Maintaining both filters helps avoid costly repairs later, improves comfort and fuel savings now, and keeps your Impala running like it should. To address both, schedule service online or check current service specials before your visit.

2010 Chevrolet Impala Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter on a 2010 Chevrolet Impala plays a vital role in interior air quality and HVAC performance. Regular replacement—typically every 15,000–30,000 miles depending on driving conditions—keeps pollen, dust, and exhaust particulates out of the passenger compartment. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO we use OEM cabin filters when possible and provide full transparency: you’ll see the old filter and receive a clear estimate before any work. Our service lanes are staffed by Chevrolet-trained technicians who follow factory procedures, protecting warranties and ensuring reliable results. We offer service financing to make necessary maintenance affordable immediately and to save on bigger bills later.
