The engine air filter protects the engineās air intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air flowing through the HVAC for passengers.

- Engine filter: performance, efficiency, and sensor protection
- Cabin filter: occupant health, HVAC airflow, odor control
- Service: both inspected and replaceable during one visit

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors (cabin filter).
If your 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid feels sluggish or the fan doesnāt push air like it used to, check both filters. Front Range dust and seasonal pollen can load filters quickly. Our technicians in Aurora can verify condition and replace with OEM-spec parts ā just schedule service.
- Engine: hesitation, noisy intake, poorer MPG

- Next step: inspection with intake housing and MAF visual check
