Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Both the engine air filter and cabin air filter on a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD play distinct but complementary roles. The engine filter protects combustion chambers, helping maintain horsepower, torque, and the 13,000 lb towing capability of your truck by preventing abrasive particles from entering the engine. The cabin filter protects occupants from allergens and dust and preserves HVAC efficiency. Neglecting either can reduce fuel economy, accelerate wear, and decrease comfort. At Stevinson Chevrolet we inspect both filters during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and document service for warranty and resale transparency. Our factory-trained techs work efficiently to minimize downtime, and we offer financing so necessary service won't wait.
