What It Is
A car has two. The engine air filter cleans the air the engine breathes. The cabin air filter cleans the air that comes through your vents. Both clog with dust and pollen, and a Carolina spring puts plenty of pollen in both.
A clogged engine filter can cost a little power and fuel. A clogged cabin filter means weak airflow from the vents, a musty smell, or windows that are slow to clear.
Signs You Need It
- Weak airflow from the vents, even on high
- A musty smell when the air or the heat comes on
- Windows that fog up and are slow to clear
- An engine filter that is gray with dirt when you hold it up to the light
- Nobody can remember when either one was changed
How It Goes at Your Address
The engine filter usually sits in a box under the hood, held by clips or a few screws. The cabin filter is often behind the glove box. Neither one needs the car raised.
It is rarely worth a trip on its own. Ask for both to be looked at when he is there for an oil change or other work.

Questions
Before You Call
How often should air filters be changed?
Go by your owner's manual, and sooner if you drive a lot of dirt or gravel roads. Holding the engine filter up to a light is a fair rough check.
Is it worth calling a mobile mechanic just for a filter?
Usually not on its own. It makes the most sense added to an oil change or other work while he is already there.
What is the difference between the two filters?
The engine air filter protects the engine. The cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the vents. They are different parts in different places.
