How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2018 Chevrolet Traverse?

• General guidance is to inspect the engine air filter every 12,000–15,000 miles, but driving in dusty or high-pollen conditions may require more frequent changes.
• Our certified technicians at Stevinson Chevrolet will recommend an interval based on your driving habits and the condition of the filter to protect engine performance.
• Schedule an inspection or schedule appointment online; warranty-covered services must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

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

• The engine air filter protects the engine intake and fuel efficiency; the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from pollen, dust, and odors.
• Both are essential: a clogged engine filter reduces horsepower and economy, while a dirty cabin filter reduces air flow and interior comfort.
• Stevinson Chevrolet uses OEM filters and offers clear pricing; check our service specials and schedule service online.
