Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps you prioritize maintenance for your 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.

Both filters are inexpensive insurance against larger repairs, and replacing them at recommended intervals maximizes vehicle comfort and reliability. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we use OEM parts and factory procedures, backing work with dealership accountability and honoring warranty requirements — remember that warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.
