Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2016 Honda Civic engine air filter and cabin air filter serve distinct but complementary roles: the engine filter keeps dirt and debris out of the intake system to protect critical engine components and preserve the Civic’s power and fuel economy, while the cabin filter protects passengers by trapping pollen, dust, and airborne pollutants.
