Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Chevrolet Spark relies on two distinct filters that play different but complementary roles: the engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the 1.4L inline engine, protecting moving parts and preserving the Spark's fuel efficiency and 98 horsepower performance; the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger compartment to ensure comfort and reduce allergens. Maintaining both filters is essential—neglecting the engine air filter can cause reduced power and higher fuel consumption, while a clogged cabin filter can strain the HVAC system and diminish air quality. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine visits and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. We document service, honor warranty requirements, and explain recommended intervals clearly. To protect performance and occupant comfort, schedule a combined inspection and, if needed, replacement appointment with our service team online via our easy schedule service tool.
