Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is essential for lasting performance and occupant comfort. The engine air filter is engineered to protect the high-output, twin-turbo V8 and its intake systems from abrasive particles that can accelerate wear or reduce power. A clogged engine filter can limit airflow, reduce throttle response, and raise exhaust emissions; the cabin air filter, by contrast, focuses on filtering pollen, dust and odors before they reach passengers via the HVAC system. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we emphasize a balanced approach: inspections for both filters during routine maintenance so small issues are corrected before they become costly repairs. Our technicians are factory trained on Mercedes-Benz systems, and we use OEM-quality parts to preserve manufacturer tolerances and warranty terms. Regular replacement of both filters sustains fuel economy, protects turbochargers and sensors, and improves daily driving comfort. To keep your G-Class performing and comfortable, schedule service online and consider current service specials.
