Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2021 Ram 1500 uses two distinct filters with separate duties: the engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the 3.6L V6 intake, protecting compression, power (305 hp), and fuel efficiency; the cabin air filter keeps the passenger compartment free of pollen, dust, and road particulates. Maintaining both is essential—neglecting the engine filter can reduce towing capability (rated up to 6,720 lbs) and raise emissions, while a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC performance and air quality for your family. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our technicians perform both inspections in the same visit to save you time. We use OEM parts for proper fit and filtration, document work for warranty and resale, and provide transparent estimates so you understand immediate costs and long-term savings. When both filters are serviced together, you preserve comfort, efficiency, and the vehicle’s mechanical integrity—schedule service online for a single convenient visit.
