Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2018 Toyota Sequoia is fundamental to both vehicle performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter sits in the intake system and prevents dirt, sand, and debris from entering the 5.7L V8, directly protecting combustion efficiency, power delivery, and towing capability up to the vehicle’s rated capacity. The cabin air filter lives in the HVAC intake and keeps allergens, dust, and road pollutants from circulating in the passenger compartment. Maintaining both filters preserves fuel economy and reduces strain on engine and climate-control systems, lowering the risk of costly repairs down the road. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service, explaining the condition and recommending OEM replacements when needed. We prioritize transparency and convenience—take advantage of our service specials, or schedule service online to protect performance and cabin air quality.
