• Reduced fuel economy, lower acceleration, unusual engine sounds, or black smoke can indicate a clogged engine air filter.

Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is key to maintaining a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The engine air filter safeguards the engine by filtering intake air — clean air supports combustion efficiency, preserves horsepower, and helps reach the EPA-rated 25 city / 36 highway MPG. The cabin air filter protects occupants from external pollutants and keeps the HVAC system working efficiently. Both filters are inexpensive investments that prevent larger repairs and maintain vehicle resale value. At Stevinson Hyundai, our technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance, recommend the right replacement interval based on real-world conditions, and use OEM-grade parts for consistency and warranty protection. Choosing dealership service often delivers immediate savings from properly performed work and long-term savings by avoiding premature component wear.
