Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2016 Toyota Sienna protects two very different systems: the engine's intake and the interior breathing environment. The engine air filter keeps abrasive dust and debris out of the V6 3.5L intake, preserving horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency for city and highway driving. The cabin air filter cleans the air that circulates through the HVAC system, removing pollen, road dust, and odors so passengers breathe cleaner air. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our certified technicians perform comprehensive inspections that check both filters during routine service so you get a full picture of vehicle health. We use OEM replacement parts to maintain factory specs and back work with dealership warranties—note that warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Choosing to replace both filters when needed reduces strain on the engine and HVAC system, helping avoid costly repairs down the road and delivering immediate improvements in driveability and comfort.
