Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty relies on both an engine air filter and a cabin air filter to protect two different systems: the engine/turbocharger and the passenger cabin. The engine air filter preserves performance and prevents abrasive particles from entering the turbocharged 6.7L diesel, which is essential for maintaining towing capacity and fuel efficiency. The cabin air filter ensures a clean, comfortable interior by trapping pollen, dust, and road contaminants. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. Using genuine Ford parts reduces the risk of improper fit or reduced filtration efficiency. Keeping both filters in good condition protects engine longevity and passenger comfort—two priorities for owners of heavy-duty trucks who expect reliability on job sites and long hauls.
