Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2012 Dodge Charger is straightforward but important for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the 6.4L V8 from particulates that reduce airflow, horsepower, and fuel economy; a clogged engine filter can lead to reduced throttle response and higher operating temperatures. The cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and road odors, helping the HVAC system perform efficiently. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, we check both filters during routine service and explain the condition in plain terms. Our certified technicians use OEM-quality filters so fit and filtration meet factory standards. Maintaining both filters prevents premature wear, improves in-cabin air quality, and supports the Charger’s long-term reliability. To keep your 2012 Dodge Charger running and breathing clean, schedule service with our team and ask about current service specials.

2012 Dodge Charger Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter on a 2012 Dodge Charger is the first line of defense for passenger comfort and HVAC efficiency.
