Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference matters for performance and comfort in your 2012 Honda Fit.

Both play distinct roles: a clogged engine air filter can reduce acceleration and MPG, while a soiled cabin filter can impair HVAC performance and cabin air quality. At David McDavid Honda of Frisco, our technicians inspect both filters during routine visits, recommend OEM replacements when appropriate, and explain the long-term savings of proactive care—fewer repairs, better fuel economy, and sustained resale value.
