What is the Difference Between an Air Filter and a Cabin Air Filter?

[StWalker]

There are the following differences between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter: 1. The cabin air filter is installed near the air conditioning intake, specifically behind the blower motor, and is used to filter the quality of air entering from inside or outside the vehicle. 2. The engine air filter refers to the engine intake system, which filters the air entering the engine intake pipe. Their functions are different. Generally, the replacement cycle for the engine air filter is based on air quality and mileage, while the cabin air filter is typically replaced once a year or every 20,000 kilometers. 3. To access the engine air filter, open the vehicle's front hood. It is usually located on the right side facing the engine. Simply use a screwdriver to remove the fixing screws on the air filter box to see the air filter. 4. To access the cabin air filter, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, remove the cover plate, and you will find the cabin air filter. 5. The cabin air filter filters the air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness by removing impurities and other particles. This provides a good air environment for passengers and protects their health.
