Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2022 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van relies on two distinct filtration systems: the engine air filter that protects the powertrain and the cabin air filter that protects occupants. The engine air filter prevents harmful particulates from entering the combustion system, which preserves horsepower, helps maintain the van’s advertised fuel economy, and reduces long-term wear on internal components. The cabin air filter ensures the HVAC system delivers clean air to the driver and passengers, filtering pollen, dust, and other allergens that can reduce comfort and concentrate contaminants inside the vehicle. Both filters are simple to inspect yet critically important — neglected engine filters can lead to reduced performance and increased emissions, while clogged cabin filters can strain the blower motor and compromise interior air quality. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians evaluate both filters during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when appropriate, and document service to support warranty and resale value. We make scheduling easy: schedule service online, take advantage of our service specials, or contact our advisors to learn about financing options. Keep both filters current to protect performance, comfort, and long-term ownership costs.
