Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2015 Chevrolet Trax helps you prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects turbocharger inlet and combustion chambers, directly affecting fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions.
