• Cabin filter: improves HVAC airflow and interior air quality.
• OEM filters ensure proper fit, seal, and filtration media.

Typical signs include reduced power or MPG and rough idle (engine filter) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

If you experience sluggish acceleration or notice the fan working harder with less airflow, its time to inspect. Driving in construction zones or with heavy HVAC use can speed up clogging. We can check both filters during any maintenance visit in Burlington and advise on next steps.

• Engine symptoms: hesitation, lower fuel economy, uneven idle.
• Cabin symptoms: restricted airflow, persistent odor, hazy windows.
