The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 3.6L V6, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger HVAC system.

The engine filter protects the engine and fuel economy by trapping dirt before it reaches the throttle body and combustion chambers. The cabin filter removes pollen, dust, and exhaust particulates to protect occupants and HVAC components. Both are important for overall vehicle performance and comfort in Sandy’s variable seasons.
