Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and cabin air filter is straightforward but important for any 2018 Ford Taurus owner. The engine air filter shields the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 from contaminants that can reduce horsepower, lower fuel economy, and accelerate wear. A clean engine intake preserves the 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft torque that define the SHO’s performance character. The cabin air filter, by contrast, protects passengers by filtering the air entering the passenger compartment. Both filters play roles in fuel efficiency, comfort, and long-term vehicle value. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service and recommend replacements based on mileage and local driving conditions. We use OEM filters and provide transparent pricing so you can see immediate and long-term savings, plus the security of warranty-backed work.
