Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and cabin air filter on a 2013 Ford Flex matters for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 and twin-turbo intake from particulate contamination, maintaining horsepower, torque and fuel economy. The cabin air filter, by contrast, keeps pollen, dust and road odors from entering the passenger compartment and protects HVAC components. Maintaining both filters reduces strain on the engine and the climate system, preventing expensive repairs down the line. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our technicians inspect both filters during standard service visits and explain any recommended replacements in plain language. We use genuine OEM filters and provide transparent pricing—take advantage of our service specials and financing to spread the cost if needed.
