Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the differences between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Backcountry helps protect both vehicle performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter keeps abrasive dust and road grime out of the 3.6L V6 combustion chambers, preserving power (285 hp @ 6400 rpm) and preventing premature wear to intake components. The cabin air filter, by contrast, cleans air entering the passenger compartment—removing pollen, dust, and exhaust particulates—so occupants breathe healthier air during commutes or off-road trips around Boise. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise we inspect both filters during routine service and recommend OEM replacements when needed. Our certified technicians follow factory procedures to ensure filters are installed correctly and system sensors are not disturbed. Replacing both filters on schedule maximizes fuel economy, prolongs HVAC and engine life, and protects resale value.
