The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake stream for combustion; the cabin air filter conditions airflow for passengers and the HVAC system in the 2020 Dodge Durango.
The engine air filter keeps dirt and debris out of the 6.4L V8 intake to protect sensors and combustion efficiency. The cabin filter traps pollen, dust and particulates to improve in-cabin air quality. Both affect comfort and performance differently and should be inspected separately during service visits.
- Engine filter: protects the engine, MAF sensor, and combustion chambers.
