Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2020 Toyota Prius matters for different reasons.

The cabin air filter removes pollen, dust, and pollutants from the HVAC system so passengers breathe cleaner air and the climate system runs without strain. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque we explain these differences clearly, use OEM filters sized for your vehicle, and document recommended intervals in writing. Our certified Toyota technicians perform a thorough inspection, offer transparent pricing, and highlight immediate and long-term savings.
