Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is essential for maintaining your 2021 Ram 1500. The engine air filter sits in the intake tract and stops dirt from entering the 3.6L V6—protecting engine components, preserving the 305 horsepower rating, and maintaining towing capability. The cabin air filter cleans incoming air for passengers, affecting comfort and the performance of the climate control system. Both filters impact efficiency and long-term costs: a restricted engine filter can lower fuel economy and increase emissions, while a dirty cabin filter can reduce HVAC performance and increase wear on the blower motor. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th, our team inspects both filters, uses OEM replacement parts, and documents findings so you understand the value proposition. We emphasize dealer-level transparency, honor warranty conditions (repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership), and provide service financing.
