Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for a 2010 Acura RDX helps prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.3L inline engine—keeping contaminants out of the intake, preserving turbo and fuel system performance, and supporting the factory-rated 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The cabin air filter protects passengers from allergens and outside pollutants while maintaining HVAC airflow. Both filters affect comfort and longevity: a clogged engine filter reduces efficiency and can raise operating costs, while a dirty cabin filter reduces air quality and burdens the HVAC blower. Nalley Acura in Atlanta provides both inspections and replacements using OEM parts and factory-trained Acura technicians, backed by transparent documentation and warranty-friendly service—warranty repairs must be performed at certified dealerships to remain valid. We emphasize immediate and long-term savings through preventive maintenance and offer service financing when needed.
