Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe?

The engine air filter protects your 3.6L V6s intake air, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe.

The engine filter lives in the under-hood airbox and keeps particulates out of the intake to preserve performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box to trap dust, pollen, and odors for cleaner in-cabin air. Both are separate parts with different roles and service procedures.

  • OEM replacements available: schedule service
