The engine air filter protects the engine intake and combustion system; the cabin air filter conditions airflow into the vehicle interior and HVAC system. Replacing both at recommended intervals improves performance, reduces odors, and preserves HVAC efficiency for occupant comfort. Our certified technicians install OEM filters and explain warranty implications—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage.
What are signs of a bad air filter?
Reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, unusual engine sounds, or heavy black exhaust can indicate a clogged engine air filter. Decreased HVAC airflow, musty odors, or increased dust inside the cabin point to a dirty cabin air filter. Bring your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse to Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray for a quick inspection—our team will provide a clear estimate and explain immediate and long-term savings.
