What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine by filtering intake air, preventing abrasive particles from causing wear and reducing power and efficiency.
• The cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger compartment, removing pollen, dust, and odors for a healthier, more comfortable ride.
• Both filters are vital: engine filters protect drivetrain longevity and towing capability, while cabin filters protect occupants and HVAC efficiency.
• Stevinson Chevrolet uses OEM filters and precise replacement procedures to ensure both components meet factory performance standards — check available service specials or schedule service online.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced engine power, sluggish acceleration, or poor fuel economy can indicate a clogged engine air filter, especially under load or while towing.
• Musty odors, reduced HVAC airflow, or increased dust inside the cabin suggest a compromised cabin air filter.
• Our technicians inspect filters during routine maintenance, recommend timely replacements, and explain how preventive service saves you money by avoiding expensive downstream repairs.
