Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Cadillac ATS?
The engine filter protects the V6s intake for combustion, while the cabin filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe.
In a 2017 Cadillac ATS, the engine air filter safeguards performance and fuel economy by keeping dust out of the intake tract. The cabin filter traps pollen and particulates for passenger comfort. Both should be inspected routinely due to North Shore dust and pollen.

- Cabin: comfort and air quality
- OEM filters maintain proper fitment
