Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps you protect both the performance and comfort of your 2013 Acura TL.

The cabin air filter focuses on passenger comfort, trapping pollen, dust, and pollutants to keep the HVAC system flowing clean air into the passenger compartment. At Nalley Acura in Atlanta, GA, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance and explain recommended service intervals so you make informed decisions. Using OEM parts ensures the fit and filtration ratings meet Acura standards; this reduces the likelihood of premature component wear and helps preserve fuel economy.
