Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox relies on two separate filters that serve complementary roles. The engine air filter protects the 1.5L inline engine from dust and particulates, helping maintain the rated 175 hp and efficient operation on Colorado roads. The cabin air filter protects occupants from pollen, dust, and road grime, ensuring clean airflow through the HVAC system. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado we inspect both filters during routine maintenance to prevent premature wear, lowered fuel economy, and HVAC odor complaints. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM-grade parts and document replacements so warranty records remain complete. Choosing dealership service often delivers better immediate value and greater long-term savings because we combine accurate diagnostics, genuine parts, and efficient labor.

At Stevinson Chevrolet we emphasize transparency: you receive an inspection report, OEM part recommendations, and clear labor pricing. Our certified technicians install manufacturer-approved cabin filters to preserve HVAC performance and cabin comfort, and we document work to protect warranty coverage.
