Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2016 Jeep Compass matters for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the inline 2.0L engine from dust and debris that can reduce horsepower and accelerate wear; a clean engine filter helps the vehicle reach its expected performance and fuel economy figures. The cabin air filter, by contrast, keeps pollen, spores, dust and urban pollutants out of the passenger compartment to protect occupants and the HVAC system. Maintaining both filters is essential—neglecting the engine filter can increase fuel consumption and stress on sensors, while a clogged cabin filter reduces airflow and can allow unpleasant odors into the cabin. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chrysler Jeep in Albuquerque, NM, our certified technicians will inspect both filters as part of routine service, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and explain the immediate and long-term savings of regular maintenance. We make it simple to schedule service online and to take advantage of current service specials, plus available service financing so you can get necessary work done today and pay over time.
