Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee requires distinct care for its engine air filter and cabin air filter; each serves a unique role in performance and comfort.

A clogged engine filter reduces throttle response and fuel economy, so timely replacement supports both immediate performance and long-term engine health. The cabin air filter focuses on passenger comfort, removing pollen, dust, and pollutants from the HVAC system. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service, recommend OEM parts when appropriate, and document the work so you understand the benefits.
