Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2010 Dodge Journey helps you prioritize maintenance that protects both vehicle performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 from ingesting harmful particles, preserving horsepower (235 hp) and torque (232 lb-ft) and helping maintain fuel economy. The cabin air filter, by contrast, cleans air for occupants, improving air quality and reducing HVAC strain. Both contribute to lower long-term costs: a clean engine filter prevents premature wear and costly repairs, while a clean cabin filter reduces HVAC labor and keeps the climate system efficient. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver we inspect both filters during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and explain the immediate and future savings from timely maintenance. We also honor warranties and document work carefully; remember that warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Ready to protect performance and comfort?
