Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class helps prioritize maintenance that protects both vehicle performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter filters intake air to protect the turbocharger, fuel system, and sensors—clean air preserves horsepower and fuel economy. The cabin air filter cleans incoming air to the passenger compartment, improving breathing comfort and HVAC efficiency. Both filters are inexpensive preventive items compared with the cost of repairing clogged sensors, turbocharger wear, or HVAC component failures. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we inspect both filters during routine visits, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and document service to preserve maintenance records. We provide flexible options including OEM filter upgrades, service financing to manage immediate needs, and transparent estimates.
