Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class helps you prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 from harmful particles, preserving horsepower, torque, and fuel economy. Conversely, the cabin air filter protects occupants from allergens and airborne contaminants while ensuring the HVAC system runs efficiently. Both filters require attention: a clogged engine filter reduces performance and increases wear, while a dirty cabin filter reduces airflow and passenger comfort. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth, our technicians inspect both during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and explain how timely maintenance reduces future repair costs. We provide clear pricing, documented service records, and the option to schedule service online.
